Heritage House Wedding – Opelika AL – Matthew & Melissa

Matthew and Melissa met while they were students at Auburn, and despite living out of state, knew it was the place for them to get married. I first met them last year when I photographed Matthew’s sweet surprise proposal to Melissa in front of Samford Hall. It has been so great getting to know them over the past year – they’re both such kind people! It was beautiful to hear their friends and family speak about them at their reception. They’re very loved, and they show love to everyone around them – they’re a perfect fit!
Melissa and her bridesmaids started off by having their makeup done by Morgan Musick at the Marriott at Grand National in one of their beautiful suites.After the ladies were ready, we traveled over to the Heritage House Bed and Breakfast in Opelika.
