Chrissy and Anthony are getting married next spring, and when they told their photographer, Melissa Jill, about how much they enjoy taking cooking classes together, the idea for this engagement shoot was born! Borrowing a beautiful kitchen from some friends, these two measured, poured, stirred and cuddled their way through the super fun shoot, and even managed to end the day with trays of homemade cookies. A sweet idea indeed!

What three adjectives that best describe your wedding? Sizzling, swanky and spectacular (and so, so, so, so FUN!)
What inspired your personal wedding style, and how were your personalities incorporated into your big day?We went with a black and white color palette because we really hoped to have a classic and timeless event. The ceremony, on the front lawn of our reception site, had a garden party feel which transitioned into a fun evening soiree. The Ralston Hall Mansion is a beautiful historic building and we were able to make the reception feel like a combination of A Midsummer Nights Dream and Parisian Art Deco. I own my own clothing boutique and have always been really into fashion, so I wanted to give people a reason to dress up. While planning I kept going back to the word swanky but really wanted it to be fun and unpretentious, and for the decor to be beautiful and fun, not stuffy or formal.
Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding?We wrote our own vows and that became such a special part of the wedding. Being able to share with our guests why we were making this commitment to one another was really important to us.
We are very friend and family oriented so we really wanted to bring all of our loved ones together to celebrate, and to create fun for all ages. The band was such a great decision, and the photo booth was a wonderful way for all of our guests to interact with each other and have a memento to take home with them as well. Near the photo booth we put out scrapbooking materials so our guests could personalize a page with their photos inside our guestbook. We still love to pull the book out and flip through it!
Color Palette: Black and white with a hint of yellow and silver.
