Cultures Collide: A Knoxville Engagement Session

Written by Mel McLellan

We had a wonderful weekend a few days back with Rupa and Josh, celebrating their wedding.  They are creatives, each in their own right, and they share our love for composition, light, and artistic imagery.  Add to that a beautiful Indian celebration full of tradition, color, and love everywhere -- what more could we ask for? Here are a few favorites from their engagement session the day before.  Can't wait to share more with you from their wedding!

Happy 1st Year Miss Violet!

Written by Mel McLellan

Violet is one year old as of mid July and now that we're finding the slightest bit of relief from all this heat, we got out to commemorate her milestone with a photo shoot. Seven and Violet are best buds, so we brought him along for a few photos of them together. These will be so much fun to look back on when they're older. =) V's grandparents came along too.  I love grandparent photos. =) And of course Mom and Dad had to get in on the action - them and Violet's baby brother who is expected to make his debut at the end of October... Happy Birthday Miss Violet! We love you! =)

Whitney and Jon's Gorgeous Nashville Wedding

Written by Mel McLellan

I was totally taken with Whitney and Jon's wedding last weekend. It was the perfect mix of classical inspiration and whimsy. The night was fun, elegant, emotional and beautiful and it couldn't have happened to a better couple. Congratulations you two! You and your families were such a pleasure.  We wish you many years of happiness together and can't wait for you and your children to relive the beginning of those years through your beautiful photos! I love this moment as Whitney and Jon exited the sanctuary as husband and wife for the first time. =) The reception was held at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and wedding planner Angela Proffit and floral designer Perri of Oshi Flowers really outdid themselves! My favorite part was the dessert bars - his and hers.  They were so tantalizing and delicious - I like cake, but this was an awesome alternative. And finally, the Nashvegas Allstars kept the party rockin' and made sure everyone had a great time. It was an all around amazing event! Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!
