Melissa + Jason are among my kindest clients.  They are warm, they are accepting, and they are so in love that anyone within a 2 mile radius can enjoy having a little love wash over them as well.  Beyond that, they have impeccable taste.  I have never been to a wedding that had details that were so entirely reflective of the couple as this one.  Their theme, executed by Sarah Miller of the unmistakably awesome Caplan Miller Events, was Marfa Meets Manhattan, and it blew my boots off.  Melissa + Jason met years ago in NYC, and he followed her back to the Lone Star State.  Eventually, they purchased a home in the eclectic and cultural dreamland of Marfa, Texas, hence the Marfa Meets Manhattan theme.  I love it, love it, love it when clients really put themselves into the plan and make sure that their big day is as far away from generic as possible.  Slowly scroll down to get schooled in exactly how to do that.

In addition to the theme, there were two other elements that raised the roof off of this mother.  Kurant Events rocked the food like no other.  There is no other catering company that can make comfort food (sliders, frito pie, and the like) glamorous like these guys.

To round out the night, one of my favorite bands ever performed.  The Spazmatics brought the house down and made sure all the booties were shaking.  I love those guys and I loved everything about Melissa + Jason's wedding day.

Thanks, also, to my fantastic friend Kathryn Krueger for helping me shoot this wedding.  The amazing shot of Jason at the beginning of the ceremony is all hers.
