Everything about this wedding stood for the love of autumn, from the romantically lit cozy dinner room at the Mill on the River to the intimate ceremony with the sun falling and glistening rich fall colors. Even our photography session at City hall contained a variety of reds and oranges. Our big surprise at City Hall was a modern art mural they had hanging on the second level, it was STUNNING, loud lines and vibrant color, which is Brenda’s style to the tee, and if anyone knows me, well HELLO!!! Brenda and Luis are from Venezuela and met while both working for ESPN. Luis is an on air talent for ESPN Deportes and the Latin version of ESPN. Luis’s three sons were a part of the wedding party as his groomsmen. I loved being able to witness this merging of two families and two cultures. One of my favorite parts of the day was the “Crazy Hour” at the reception when everyone was prompted to wear crazy hats, glasses and beyond!!! I also wanted to note that I worked with several amazing professionals at this wedding including Don of Vividography, his work is powerful and cinematic in style and he is a joy to work with! Also, Melissa Arel and Tama Ehlers, my magnificent assistants for the day! Brenda and Luis’s wedding took place on November 4th, one week after the snow storm that shut down our state! It was amazing that everything still went just as planned for them and they had an absolutely God sent autumn day! Brenda and Luis, it was an honest joy to have been a part of your day, I’m ECSTATIC about the images and memories we’ve captured for you! Much Love and Many Blessings, Missy

Capturing Life as Intended
Thank you SO much for stopping by!!! In the fall of 2007, we moved to Connecticut from Minnesota and created Galleria Vivid. I set out to shoot all on location, all amazing color, and all on my own. None of these things had I done before. With allot of GREAT mentors and fearlessness, I feel that I have overwhelmingly exceeded my visions, and Galleria Vivid is quite Vivid. Photography has been an amazing blessing in my life, it allows me to be an artist, to never stop learning, and of course stay up until four in the morning working on fun projects such as a brand new blog! When it comes down to it, I don't have to go to all this work, but I just can't help myself!!! I must create!!!! I also have a wonderful support system, my husband Greg, who is my best friend, is the most supportive person I've ever known. Of course, my baby boy Brevinn, who is the sweetest!!!! And ALL of our extended family and friends who have been my cheerleaders!!! Thank you ALL!!! Lastly and most importantly, I thank God, who has given me everything this life can offer. Please enjoy my images, and feel free to leave any comments, good or bad....I can take it!!! Ciao, Missy

Anahi Aliaga - WOW! I must say this is the perfect combination of natural beauty, creativity, elegance, sobriety, warmth, love, light, color and joy. These pictures capture in a lovely way, the special bond between this couple and the merging of the family tree. Congratulations to everyone that participated, specially to the gorgeous bride, queen of our hearts!
Aydée Cabrera - Nunca me imaginé que Missy y sus compañeras harían un trabajo asi. Estaba acostumbrada a ver fotografías de boda en las que las personas aparecen muy posadas y los invitados siempre son captados en grupos. Quedé maravillada con este trabajo. Las imágenes son bellísimas. Unas artísticas otras muy naturales, pero todas muy expresivas. Algunas tan emotivas que me conmovieron, al punto que me hicieron salir unas lagrimitas.Captaron momentos inolvidables. Felicitaciones a las artístas y felicidades y bendiciones a los nuevos esposos.
GEORGETTE RODRÍGUEZ - The pictures are really amazing, I love the style of the photographer, excellent work … Congratulations to the newlyweds
kisses
