Wedding at The Water Street Hotel, Apalachicola, FL: Melissa & Ken	05.20.09

Normally I write my own posts, however this one I let Candace write. It’s a very special post to her.

We are finally blogging the wedding of my big brother. This wedding was a real treat for me to see my brother get married. Their wedding was a very small family affair in a quaint boutique hotel, The Water Street Hotel, in Apalachiacola, FL (thats near Panama City). Ken and Melissa have been together for many years, and I’ve been anticipating this day since they started dating 6 years ago. I just knew Melissa was the one for my bro from the first time I met her as she fit seamlessly into our family. Thank you for making him so happy and welcome to the family, sister!

Also, huge thank to Stephan for taking such amazing images of my family and for insisting that I enjoy myself while he performed double duty! You’re really one of a kind.

Oscar is guarding Melissa’s gown. Who let the dog out?

Check out that perfect spritz.



This is a rare sight. Ken wearing a suit. Looking sharp.


Love this real moment. Final touches for Melissa while Ken is ready to head out to tie the knot.

Had to post one of my beautiful wife. Love the new hair cut. Doesn’t look as much as an elementary school teacher anymore ;)




That’s what I’m talking about.








One of the best tasting cakes I have ever had. Perhaps it’s because my wife made it?

After this I put the camera down and joined the party. Congrats!
