Scott + Melissa :: Orange County Wedding

Every wedding has its share of guests with cameras, video cameras, maybe even a Polaroid here and there.  Not too many weddings, however, have their own sound technician and broadcast-quality video gear, complete with microphone bearing the E! Entertainment Television logo.  But then again, the wedding of Melissa and Scott was anything but ordinary, and it was so much fun!  We first met these two at a coffee shop in Orange, where they told us all about their wedding and how it was going to be featured on E!, and of course we were pretty excited about that.  We had an amazing engagement session at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, but the wedding literally took the cake.  Not only did they have the use of an amazing private home to get ready in, but this home had a backyard garden of eden, complete with a “secret garden” where Scott saw his bride for the first time.  The gorgeous afternoon light bathed the guests in beautiful warmth throughout the ceremony, and the party lasted well into the night.  Thank you Scott and Melissa for sharing your special day with us.  It was truly a unique event, from the cake throwing to the gourmet popcorn and the s’mores roasting!  We know you two will enjoy each other for many years to come, we were just glad to be a part of it from the beginning!

Who knew Marlon Brando’s protege was the ringbearer?

The light was absolutely gorgeous

I love these silhouettes that Erinn captured

Nothing like capping off your wedding night with a little toasted marshmallow and chocolate!

Ok, a little cake in the face ain’t bad either!

One of the cutest touches at this wedding was a surprise performance Melissa put on for Scott toward the end of the night.  Apparently Melissa is an amazing singer, and recorded this song for her new husband.  Check out the slideshow to enjoy her beautiful voice!
