melissa and mike’s wedding at the terrace club in dripping springs, texas

What a fun time we had at The Terrace Club on Sunday.  We captured another awesome wedding with a couple that I really grew very close with.  Melissa and Mike are such a fun couple and I was so excited about being a part of their day.

We started off the day by Melissa arriving at the Terrace Club to get ready.  Mike and the fellas arrived shortly thereafter.  We were then off to the races because they had to all get ready, grab some family portraits before-hand, and sign the Ketubah (a marriage contract for a Jewish wedding).  I really loved the artwork of the Ketubah that they purchased, and I know it will look beautiful in their home.  The ceremony was a beautiful sunset wedding held under a chuppah (canopy), and the cantor played background music throughout the ceremony to keep the mood.  We then went and partied the night away.  Hunter and the gals at the Terrace Club did a fantastic job of keeping everything on schedule, too.

I really enjoyed the close family atmosphere at this wedding.  Mike had relatives come from as far as Argentina and Mexico, while Melissa had relatives come from as far as Australia.  Even though they don’t see these folks every day, it seemed like they all just saw each other yesterday.

The couple did have so much fun visiting with all of their guests and almost ran out of time for the Hora (a traditional dance of celebration is done. The dance most widely known is when the bride and groom are lifted in chairs on the shoulders of their guests.)

This is another couple that I am really honored to get to know.  Here are just a few of the precious moments that we were able to capture.
