Nashville Wedding Photographers | McLellan Style

Name: Melanie Gail McLellan – longest signature ever!

Hair Color: Naturally – dirty blonde with light summer highlights. In reality – Always changing but usually some shade of blonde, the lighter the better according to Sean!

Eye Color: Blue

Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

Birthplace: Chattanooga, TN

Hometown: I would consider it to be Franklin – I’ve lived around here most of my life.

High School: Page High School of Rudderville, TN – yes you read it correctly! We had a place in the commons called the hick bricks – it doesn’t get much better than that does it??

Are you the eldest, middle, youngest, or only child? Oldest of two – my little brother Ryan and me.

What is your heritage? Irish, German, Norwegian mostly – tanning was never meant for me!

What did you want to be when you grew up? Hmm, a ballerina, then a country singer, then an archeologist (ironic since I hate dead things), then a marine biologist at some point (also ironic as I won’t touch fish), then an artist which I found a way to stick with and still eat.

What is your favorite time of day? I love evenings in the summer time when the lightning bugs are out! You may know them as fireflies. In the south they are lightnin’ bugs and the first sighting of them never ceases to thrill me every year!

What is something you’d like to do before you die? Go skydiving! Sean won’t come with me I’m afraid. I’d also like to backpack across Europe.

Favorite Color? Hard to say. I really like bright colors or cool, muted serene tones.

Favorite Music? I like all kinds! Some of my favorites are the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Garth Brooks, Keith Urban, Justin Timberlake (there – I admitted it!), Black Eyed Peas, Nickle Creek, Jack Johnson, Beck, Nora Jones, Aqualung, etc. etc.

Favorite TV Show? Lost, 24, and Prison Break in no particular order. We got the dvds of the seasons and then get totally hooked on all three!

Favorite Food? Chocolate and Italian (specifically pizza)!

Favorite Restaurant? Anywhere that can serve up a mean pizza and an absolutely decadent chocolate dessert!

Odd fact about yourself? I have freakishly small hands. I grow out my nails so that my fingers look like they don’t below to a child but my ring size was the same size as our niece’s when she was 5 years old! My wedding bands are a 3.5 with a metal bead on the inside to keep it on my finger. My jeweler said he would attach the stone to my finger if it got any smaller – I don’t want to tempt him.

Name: Sean Patrick McLellan. Yes–”Sean Patrick.” So Irish. I know.

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown, most of the time. Some days they seem to be quite green, though.

Zodiac Sign: Cancer. I don’t really know much about the whole astrology thing, but “cancer” sounds kind of iffy to me.

Birthplace: Santa Fe, NM.

Hometown: Franklin, TN. Since I was about 3 or so.

High School: Page High School for me, too. I got roped at the aforementioned bricks on more than one occasion.

Are you the eldest, middle, youngest, or only child? Just me, baby.

What is your heritage? Didn’t we already cover this?

What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be any number of things while growing up. I was one of those kids who always had three or four different “businesses” going on at any given time. Now I’m a wedding photographer, and it is better than all of the things that I used to want to be. Well, to be completely honest, better than everything except maybe a superhero with lots of great superpowers. But in this instance, I’m ok with second best.

What is your favorite time of day? Oh, that’s easy. 3:37 p.m. No–seriously? What kind of question is this? I can’t say I’d ever thought about having a specific favorite time of day. I’m not much of a morning person. But any other time can be just great.

What is something you’d like to do before you die? How about celebrate my 100th birthday? That might give me enough time to do all of the things I’d really put on that list.

Favorite Color? I’m a pastel kind of guy. Most any color can look great if it’s the right shade of pastel.

Favorite Music? I like at least a little bit of almost all types of music. Though eventually, I always seem to loop back around to the Beatles being my overall favorite.

Favorite TV Show? We don’t actually watch TV, but we do occasionally rent the DVD’s of entire seasons. 24, Prison Break, and LOST were all ones that we thought we’d check out the first disc and immediately thereafter finished the entire season in a matter of about a day and a half.

Favorite Food? Italian, Italian, and Italian. Pizza is the best thing, ever. I long for the day that someone invents pizza that tastes great and is healthy for you. I will eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner pretty much every day. And I’ll probably eat it for a few snacks in between for good measure.

Favorite Restaurant? Just about any Italian restaurant will do for me.

Odd fact about yourself? I’m not much of a dessert fan. In fact, many birthdays went by where I didn’t even eat any of my own cake. But having said that, I could probably eat about 25 boxes of thin mint girl scout cookies if some poor soul happened to sit them near me and leave them unattended.
