Nashville Portrait Photographers – Engagement Session – Belmont University

Written by Mel McLellan

It happens fairly often that we get the opportunity to work with couple who, for one reason or another, can't have us shoot their wedding.  These are always an incredible honor for us because these people appreciate what we do enough to go the extra mile to integrate us into their wedding experience.  Whitney and Vaughn are one such couple and we so enjoyed our time with them!  They are incredibly warm people with sweet spirits and a great sense of humor. :o)  We went back to where they met for the engagement session and roamed around Belmont University's campus.  We love tying in the sentimental and it doesn't hurt that Belmont has really great architecture to play with!  Vaughn is a professor at the school so we were able to sneak into a classroom for a few fun shots.  Yes, in case you were wondering, Whitney and Vaughn met while she was in school there.  They say it's not nearly as scandalous as it sounds but we think they should run with it and add embellishment!  I mean come on - it's hottt! ;o)

I can't decide which one I like best.  How about you?  Sweet and sexy or edgy-cool?

Whitney and Vaughn, you guys were a pleasure and we're so happy to have met you both!  We'll see you soon for your premiere!

Portrait Photography in Franklin / Nolensville, TN – Amber and Brandon's Engagement

Written by Mel McLellan

I've known Brandon since I was 9 and Amber since 14 but I had no idea they knew each other! I guess you should just figure that would be the case in small towns. :o) When I found them again through myspace, I was so happy to see that they were dating and now they're getting married on March 1st - can I get a collective "aw!"? Anyway, I think they're adorable together and we're very excited to be a part of the formal beginning of their official life together. (Seriously, how do you define a wedding in one basic sentence?) We started their session at Amber's parents house in Nolensville, TN and Sean and I were drooling just a little bit over all of the cool classic cars her dad has! This truck has special significance for Amber and I love this image from Sean!

We ended the session in one of our favorite places to shoot - the back alleys of Franklin. :o) I do believe we've started a two image trend on here so in keeping with the current theme, here's another Sean creation. Congratulations you guys! The wedding will be here before you know it!

Also, did you notice? Our images are growing! Sean can't stop playing with our blog so there's more to come on that later... Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! - Mel
