Fontaine Vineyard, Asheville Wedding – Rebecca and James

Written by Mel McLellan

The rain almost shut down the outdoor ceremony with a huge downpour half-way through the bridesmaid's procession.  We all stood there not knowing what to do as the rain increased - do you run away in the middle of a ceremony??  Finally, once we were all soaking wet, everyone made a mad dash for shelter!  Luckily, the bad weather cleared out while guests mingled and it became the most beautiful day for Rebecca and Jamie's union!  Congratulations to you both!  It was such an honor to be there and document your day! :o)

Engagement Photography – Heather and Chris in Greenville, SC

Written by Mel McLellan

First of all, I might just have a new favorite city!  Greenville is the most adorable place ever!  We took a nice little drive through the mountains last Thursday and landed in this beautiful metropolis to meet Heather and Chris for their engagement session.  These two are as adorable as Greenville! :o)  Heather told me ahead of time that she doesn't do well in front of the camera but she was so wrong!  She and Chris were completely natural and their love for each other is so strong that they were just glowing! :o)  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

On a different note, today is Sean's birthday!!! :o)  Happy Birthday my love!  We've bought a shiny new iPhone, eaten Italian food and half-baked sugar cookies, and now we're off to see a movie.  Overall, it's been a good day!  Thanks for all the birthday wishes sent his way today! :o)

Yanira rocks the socks off Senior Photography! :)

She's a completely adorable exotic beauty, talented painter, and whimsical girl.  Photographing Yanira waist deep in underbrush, in the heat, and in the rain was, believe it or not, just too much fun!  :o)
