Ryan surprised Melissa with a trip to Paris for her birthday and then popped the question in front of the Eiffel Tower before the couple celebrated with champagne on the Champs-Elysees!The wedding day was equally impressive; classically and elegant with an ivory, black and gold

palette. Melissa’s gown was handcrafted from beaded and morbido lace - Ryan remembers the instant he saw her, “she looked so incredible, it took me a little while to respond!”

Melissa had to choke back tears when her father lowered her veil, “when I was young my dad’s health was unstable and I was unsure if he would be there on my wedding day”.

At the reception, tables were named after places visited by the couple and the bomboniere echoed this; macaroons from Paris, ouzo from Santorini and wine from Bordeaux.

The couple wanted natural photos and Studio Impressions captured every moment; anticipation, tears, twinkles’ in parents’ eyes the love celebrated by everyone.
