December.

How did this happen again?  It was *just* December… and now, here we are again. Already.  It’s about to be 2011.  2011—that sounds so much like the F U T U R E.

First Annual Card Contest

December means holiday time! And speaking of holidays, today marks the start of our First Annual  Christmas/Holiday Card Contest!  Checking the mail at Christmas time is one of our very favorite parts of the season! We love seeing what people put together for the cards they send out every year–so please drop one in the mail to us!  We’ll be picking our favorites and featuring them on our blog at the beginning of the year. In addition to that, our favorite card wins a $10 iTunes gift certificate!  How’s that for incentivizing good mail? ;0)

Our mailing address is:

Sean & Mel McLellan
114 Pearl St.
Franklin, TN 37064

Also, we’re really excited about the card we put together this year, and would love to send it to you!  If you’d like one, just email me (sean@mclellanstyle.com) your name and mailing address, and we’ll drop one in the mail for you!

Looking forward to seeing your cards!

Keep an eye out for Bobby.  He is a chef with a passion for cooking.  I wouldn’t be surprised if you see him as the host of his own cooking show within the next few years.

I took a sip of water at the Hermitage Hotel and commented on how great it was.

“It’s cucumber mint water.”  said Bobby. “Cucumbers are 96% water.  You can cut them up and put the pieces with some mint into water and it is so refreshing–I make it at home.”

I then noticed a really nice stylish shirt that was hanging on a chair in the room where the groomsmen were getting ready.  “That’s what I’m wearing tomorrow. Hanna picked it out for me.  She picks out all sorts of great things for me.  She’s really into fashion.  I never was before, and now I really love everything that she finds for me.”

Bobby then turned to his brother and said “This is Sean.  He and his wife are the amazing photographers that did our engagement photos.  We love them!”

His brother replied “I know you love them–Hanna sends me about 17 of the images a day!”

If one thing can be said about Hanna and Bobby, it’s that they are passionate people.  They find something they are interested in, and they are into it.

We had a great time spending the day with them and photographing their wedding, and we’re excited to see two passionate people start their new life together!  Congratulations Hanna & Bobby!

We woke up this morning to a nice surprise – an article from Adorama: “With wedding season upon us, it’s time to gather ideas and be influenced by some of today’s top wedding photographers. I’ve scoured the web for ten fine examples.”

We’re honored to be mentioned among these great photographers – thank you, Adorama!
