Spencer - I learned so much from this post! Please don't move to Harrisburg Pa, I don't know if I can compete with these beautiful photos :-)

Karen - Would LOVE to hear how to balance/deal with up-lighting. We're seeing more and more of this, and I want to produce more beautiful images with this feature!

Paul - MJ - Love your images and writing style. You have the ability to share what many photographers are pondering. Awesome!!

Jim - Thanks for sharing Melissa, love your images :)

Katie Cassidy - Thank you Melissa for this series. I just attended the wedding of one of my best friends. As an amateur photographer, I know the photograph I want to take but I am not always sure how to get it. Your last post helped me look differently at the details and what I was taking a picture of. Usually I would photograph the table scape of the table I was assigned to and that would be it. Instead this time I scanned the room for the table with the best light and took pictures of it instead. I am so pleased with the results and I can't wait to scrap book and document my memories and all of the details from my friend's special day. Again thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

Jen Kessler - Great post - thanks for sharing - and I just love all of your images. So gorgeous!

Merck - Thank you again for sharing such wisdom! You are truly amazing Melissa! Blessings!

Abby Grace - I just learned how to use off-camera lighting last summer and I think I've drilled it into my mind that reception details MUST be photographed using OCF. It's like I've forgotten that if there's available, clean light, use it up! It'll save me the couple of minutes I would have spent setting up my lightstand, and when you're crunched for time, a couple of minutes can make a huge difference. Awesome post!!
