Graham Is One!

Written by Mel McLellan

Another one of our beautiful couples has come back to us with their babies! I can't tell you how happy that makes me. :) Johnny and Emily are now Johnny, Emily, Graham and Baby-Girl-on-the-way. You've not met a more beautiful family and little Graham is the smiliest, happiest baby! If you can't tell, we just adore them. :) Here are a few of my favorites from their family session that we did in honor of Graham's 1st birthday. I love seeing their little family grow! Enjoy!

Nashville Pictage Workshop Results

Written by Mel McLellan

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of doing a workshop for our local Pictage User Group. We walked around Hillsboro Village with my two of my favorite models, our long-time friend Bekah and her boyfriend Josh, and learned about how to get a wide variety of portraits in a short period of time. After all, wedding days can get crazy so Sean and I developed a system for making sure we could deliver great results no matter what. I love helping other photographers learn to do the same and I had such a great group for this workshop! I thought I'd share some of the results here. To those who attended - thank you all for signing up and allowing me to share with you for the evening and Bekah and Josh - thanks for being our adorable models. :)

Photojournalism from Melissa & Reg’s Wedding

Written by Mel McLellan

Melissa and Reg didn't want a lot of posed wedding photos. They weren't concerned with details or having everything be just so. They designed their wedding to focus solely on celebrating their love with family and friends and they wanted their wedding photos to reflect that without pausing to take them away from the celebration. When we shoot together, Sean falls most naturally into a photojournalistic style, keeping a close eye out for emotion and for friends and family to interact with each other--so we knew this wedding would be a perfect fit for him. It's a rare break in routine for one of us to photograph a wedding without the other, but he did such beautiful work that I might hire him out solo more often! ;) Here's a little snippet of some of my favorites from their day...

I love this one of Melissa and her dad right before they walked down the aisle.
The wedding took place at Events at 1418 in downtown Nashville. It was the perfect cozy venue for this casual and intimate event. They started off the wedding with a cocktail hour, and at the end of that, the DJ told everyone to take their seats and the ceremony happened right then--in the middle of the reception venue.  Such a fun idea and the guests loved it!
Absolutely love the emotion in this one; one of my favorites this year
I can tell from the hundreds of crazy dancing photos that this group is too much fun! The evening was everything a great wedding should be. :)
Congratulations, Melissa and Reg!
