Mike and Melissa were married on Friday, May 20, 2011 at St. Catherine of Siena Parish.
\nThis wedding was a little unusual because the wedding was put together so quickly and depended on when Mike could get leave from the Navy to come home for his own wedding.\u00a0 Melissa’s mom arranged everything and I was available for the originally scheduled date.\u00a0 However, when Mike finally found out for sure when he would be home, just a few weeks before the original date, the wedding date had to change because his leave date changed.
\nThe new date that was chosen, May 20th, and I wasn’t available until after 9pm.\u00a0 I was already fully booked for the Epilepsy Center’s<\/a> Practically a Golf Tournament<\/a> in the morning and early afternoon at Levis Commons<\/a>.\u00a0 Then I had Davis College’s<\/a> Graduation at the Stranahan Theatre Great Hall in the evening.\u00a0 I couldn’t make it to the wedding!\u00a0 However, I have been photographing Melissa for years, and she really wanted me to do her wedding.\u00a0 So I came up with an alternate plan.
\nSince the wedding was in the evening and was a full Catholic Mass, I could make it for most of the reception at The Fountain Room (Inside the Erie Street Market).\u00a0 I had my friend Jeff Summers<\/a> (a professional photographer) whom I have known for years, photograph the actual wedding, and I did all of the digital effects (that’s why both of our names are on some of the pictures).\u00a0 He even took the wedding party to The Toledo Museum of Art<\/a> for some of the formal shots.
\nThen came the wedding reception at the Fountain Room, and more pictures with Jeff.
\nI did make it to the wedding reception in time for dinner and the cutting of the cake!<\/p>\n

And it was an epic battle!
\nThe Fountain Room<\/a> is an absolutely gorgeous facility and the tables were beautifully decorated.
\nAnd the fountain in the middle of the room made for some great images!
\nThe newlyweds raked in the dough during the dollar dance!
\nAnd everyone danced the night away!
\nDid I mention that we took Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes to the reception?
\nEveryone had a blast with it, maybe too much fun!
\nJeff and I even had our picture taken for the happy couple!Congratulation Mike and Melissa from Kurt Nielsen Photography<\/a>!\u00a0 May you have many happy years of wedded bliss!\u00a0 Stay safe Mike!
\nA special thanks to Jeff for shooting for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
