Guess it's true that food tastes better when someone else cooks. @seanmclellan cooked tonight. I thought it was the best ever! He hated it.

 Nashville Engagement Photography – Sara Beth and Austin Jul, 28 2009 by Mel 

15 minutes before Sara Beth and Austin were scheduled to arrive, huge dark clouds came out of absolutely nowhere and it started pouring.  Talk about impeccable timing!  Staring at the weather forecast proved useless since none of actually knew how to determine what the radar was forecasting for the next few hours.  Besides, it said we were supposed to be dry at that very moment so what do they know?  We opted for the try-to-drive-out-of-the-storm method and with much luck, it worked!  Would you believe that right around the corner from the ugliest storm it looked like this?

Can you say fortuitous? :o )  Sara Beth and Austin – you guys were great!  Thanks for driving around looking for sun with us!  Can’t wait to see you guys again!

 Biltmore Estate Engagement Photography Jun, 29 2009 by Mel 

Ok so first, Biltmore Estate is HUGE!!  I had no idea!  I knew it was a ginormous house with a winery and barns, etc. but think the land for this place might be the size of the entire county we live in!  Needless to say, there were plenty of places to shoot!  Lissa and Justin were awesome and we had the best time wandering around the Biltmore with them.  Can’t wait to go wandering again for your wedding guys! :o )

I think I need this greenhouse….

Loved, loved, LOVED the light in this field!  The totally adorable couple sitting in it didn’t hurt at all either. :)

So we only drive past the house and I haven’t seen inside yet but I’m pretty sure it will do just fine.  Now to work on becoming the next Vanderbilts! ;)

Missy: And this is why when you said this couple was getting married at the Biltmore, I responded with an open mouth. Gorgeous place, gorgeous pics! Can’t wait to see their wedding photos..and I don’t even know them! Haha. (6.29.09, 6:27 pm)

adrienne.: Great job! Yeah, I wouldn’t mind being a servant there because I’m pretty sure even if I lived in one of their closets it’d be bigger than our house. =) (6.30.09, 1:03 pm)

adrienne.: For now, you can just go buy Alan Jackson’s home. It’s only $38 million. You know, work your way up to the Biltmore. (6.30.09, 1:26 pm)

Lissa: I can’t believe that’s really US!! : ) Seriously?! We had a great time with ya’ll and we can’t wait until September!! (6.30.09, 9:09 pm)

 Engagement Photography – Heather and Chris in Greenville, SC Jun, 24 2009 by Mel 

First of all, I might just have a new favorite city!  Greenville is the most adorable place ever!  We took a nice little drive through the mountains last Thursday and landed in this beautiful metropolis to meet Heather and Chris for their engagement session.  These two are as adorable as Greenville! :o )  Heather told me ahead of time that she doesn’t do well in front of the camera but she was so wrong!  She and Chris were completely natural and their love for each other is so strong that they were just glowing! :o )  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

On a different note, today is Sean’s birthday!!! :o )  Happy Birthday my love!  We’ve bought a shiny new iPhone, eaten Italian food and half-baked sugar cookies, and now we’re off to see a movie.  Overall, it’s been a good day!  Thanks for all the birthday wishes sent his way today! :o )
