Schermerhorn Bridal Session – Whitney and Jon

Written by Mel McLellan

We have way too many beautiful images to sort through from Whitney and Jon's wedding last Saturday, but while we do that, I thought I'd go ahead and share a few from the bridal session.  Whitney had a ceremony dress and a reception dress so she opted to have Jon join her for photos in the latter.  I absolutely love the idea because we were able to get awesome images of the couple at their reception location that wouldn't have been possible on the wedding day.  So fun! Here are a few of my favorites...

Franklin Family Photography – The Fraziers

As our lives keep moving forward, I count myself so blessed to have old friends in my life and to be able to watch their families grow.  Sharon and Brian's newest addition is now a little over 6 months old and he's all smiles and easy-going nature.  His big sister is turning into more of a little lady every day and does she ever adore him! Watching them together, I can't wait for Seven's little sibling to get here! =o)

A sneak peek from Priyanka & Mahesh's Phuket, Thailand Wedding

Written by Sean McLellan

28 hours there, 26 hours back. Phuket, Thailand is REALLY far away. Having said that, Phuket is beautiful. We photographed Priyanka & Mahesh's amazing Indian wedding celebration over the course of four days and there is SO much to share!  For now, I've picked out a small handful of favorites. The wedding took place at the 5 star JW Marriott Resort & Spa, which Conde Naste Traveler has rated as one of the best places to stay in the world. The resort was fantastic, and it's located directly on Mai Khao beach. I love this silhouette image from our first day shooting their engagement session on the beach. Mai Khao Beach - Phuket, Thailand I love this closeup of Priya & Mash.

Night photography at JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa Mel and I are known for our epic imagery and unique art featuring our couples; but lately we've been really striving to take our photojournalistic storytelling images to that same place.  I am very happy with what we're seeing this year; bringing our epic/artistic style and fusing it with photojournalism. Priya & Mash watching their reception musicians at the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa I was on the sidelines as they entered their retro party reception, and I love how the spotlight just cut through everything to only highlight them. Phuket, Thailand wedding reception party Mel was at the back of the stage as they entered...  Her take on the same moment was amazing!
