We love Armature Works and we loved Ariel + Melissa from our first meeting. So of course, this wedding felt like a match made in heaven! Ariel and Melissa’s day was focused on family- with their son, Lonnie and daughter, Blake, front and center of their festivities!

• Wedding Size: 75

• Wedding Colors: Ivory & Olive

• First Dance Song Something Just Like This by Chainsmokers & Coldplay

• Wedding Season: Fall (Oct. 14).

The couple didn’t follow “tradition” by waiting until their ceremony to see each other. They were toasting before they walked down the aisle, while the kids played and danced. It was casual and laid-back, which made it really fun for capturing candids. These two were just so happy to get married.

The duo exchanged vows on the rooftop, overlooking the Hillsborough River. The kids stayed close, so they could celebrate with their moms. Happy tears were shed and they sealed the deal with a kiss (of course).

The reception was all about the PARTY! Great food, great music, fun photobooth… truly a celebration that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Our favorite detail is a toss up between their awesome sign-in “book” - a framed vinyl record, the fantastic dessert display (Hands on Sweets kills it every time) and the champagne “sip and sit” seating chart.

We loved working with you both, Ariel and Melissa. Congratulations to the Mrs!
