Savannah, Georgia Wedding Photography – Marlena and Tim

Written by Mel McLellan

We have a couple of weeks off from shooting weddings but I still wanted to share something with you guys so I started thinking through our previous weddings and shoots.  It then occurred to me that we never did a feature post for Marlena and Tim's wedding last November!  They are such a sweet, cute couple and their wedding was too much fun so it's really just too bad you've not seen these already!  They were married at the Westin Hotel in Savannah and it all couldn't have gone more perfectly.  We did a day after shoot with them in Savannah's historic district that I'll have to post later but here is a little recap of their fabulous day...

The reception was gogeous, over-looking the river and Savannah's signature bridge.

I love these from their first dance.  They just feel so full of love...

Nashville, TN Wedding – Community Church and Bluegrass Yacht and Country Club

Written by Mel McLellan

Melissa and Brad started dating in high school and have been together for 6 years - that's almost as long as Sean and I and we've been married for 5 years now.  I can't imagine!  They must have been soooo ready to tie the knot!  Their day finally came last Saturday and we couldn't be happier for them.  They are such a sweet couple with the sweetest families!  The ceremony performed by Melissa's dad at Community Church was beautiful and I don't think you could have packed another soul into the ballroom at the Bluegrass Yacht and Country Club!  You guys have A LOT of friends!!  Thanks for having us join in the big celebration!  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! :o) Happy 4th everyone!

Nashville, TN Bridal Portraits – Cedarwood and Legislative Plaza

Written by Mel McLellan

Before we get to Melissa and Brad's wedding, I had to show you some of the images we created with Melissa for her bridal session.  We started out at Historic Cedarwood and then headed over to the Capitol and the Legislative Plaza (War Memorial Plaza) for the remainder of the session. 

Cedarwood is great because it's a rural setting just outside of downtown.  It makes it so easy to get a variety of settings in a short period of time.  Linda and the rest of the staff were very generous in inviting us in to use their house and grounds.  Thanks Linda! 

Melissa's dad did quite a bit of work up at the Capitol when Melissa and her sisters were kids so she has a lot of great memories from spending time there with her dad.  Add to that the fact that it's a stellar place for a shoot, and it was the perfect second location choice! 

Hope you enjoy them! :o)

 - Mel and Sean
