Jeff seriously lucked out when he interviewed for a job at a market research firm in Durham.\u00a0 Not only did he score a job; he also met his future wife, Melia.<\/p>\n
Jeff and Melia\u2019s relationship started as a working one.\u00a0 As their friendship grew, they found each other hanging out and talking a little more\u2026and a little more.\u00a0 Jeff admits to offering Melia rides to company softball games just to spend more time with her.\u00a0 They had so much fun when they were together that before long, Jeff was orchestrating an elaborate plan to propose to Melia at the softball field where they had spent so much time together.<\/p>\n
Jeff and Melia love Asheville, NC\u2019s vintage feel with a modern twist, so when it came time to choose a wedding venue, it was a no brainer.\u00a0 The details around their wedding followed the same theme, with a focus on the family and friends that were a part of their journey\u2026making their wedding unique and personal.\u00a0 Jeff even wore his grandmother\u2019s pelican pin on his lapel and his grandfather\u2019s white bucks to include his late grandparents in the celebration of their marriage.<\/p>\n
Jeff told me that you know you have \u201ca keeper\u201d when you don\u2019t need anything to be entertained\u2026you just need each other to have a good time.\u00a0 After spending some time with them, I could tell that entertainment was definitely not necessary for these two.\u00a0 They have a complimenting energy that results in a plain ole good time, regardless of where they are or what they are doing.\u00a0 This playful energy reached maximum capacity on the day they were married and I had so much fun as their wedding photographer, capturing that kind of joyful love through my lens.<\/p>\n
Congratulations, Jeff and Melia, on finding your \u201ckeeper\u201d.\u00a0 Keep having fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
