Last Friday, it was my pleasure to attend the launch celebration for a brand-new online bridal magazine founded by photographer Melissa Ann Bagley. The celebration was held in the Los Gatos, CA hills at Saratoga’s gorgeous Villa Montalvo Arts Center, a venue I’ve visited for previous posts.
Melissa Ann Bagley Photography has been covering weddings internationally for 15 years, and saw a need for a more off-the-beaten-path online wedding publication, for which she envisioned and created IZZY Magazine.

I wanted to extend my congratulations to Ms. Bagley on the publication, and to say thanks for providing a great online resource for nearlywed couples. I was lucky enough to meet her at the launch; very gracious, sweet, and seeming a little shy, Ms. Bagley gave me the impression that she wasn’t especially comfortable being in the spotlight. I’d say more at home on the “other” side of the camera. She’s a very talented photographer and in just the short time I met with her I could tell how warm and friendly she is as well, obviously doing just what she loves.
According to Ms. Bagley, her goal is “to create a magazine that will inspire others and share the things she loves with the rest of the world. And, at the same time be a guide to brides that are planning weddings outside of the norm.”
It is a wonderful resource, and I encourage all brides- and grooms-to-be to check out the premier issue. Also, keep up on the latest with IZZY at the IZZY Magazine Blog and Facebook Fan page.
