First of all, how cool is it that their names are almost the same but with a slight, cool twist? I love it when stuff like that happens!

 ) (7.2.08, 9:08 am) david & kimi b ~ ohana photography: wow. your awesomeness never ceases to amaze!!! (6.28.08, 11:35 am)
mel: Thanks so much Kelli! Mel, I’m so happy to have your stamp! Abraham, thank you! I love her smile too – she really lights up for him.
) Bradford – haha thanks! There’s a little thing I like to call “straightening in photoshop”. My images always tilt out of camera – I think it’s because my shutter finger pushes the camera down. Then again, I’ve never looked at which side dips so maybe I’m just crooked… (6.26.08, 5:24 pm) Bradford: Wowser that is pretty much flawlessly symmetrical! (6.26.08, 4:36 pm)
abraham: sweeet! i like the composition, back-lighting, and the smile! great work here! (6.26.08, 8:24 am)
Mel Watson: so lovely… its very serene. I give it my stamp of approval.
 (6.25.08, 4:30 pm) kelli: absolutely beautiful! as always. never a surprise to see AMAZING work on this blog! (6.25.08, 12:41 pm)

Today We Have a Birthday Boy!
Jun, 24 2008 by Mel
|
So you may be thinking that it’s totally cheesy to call someone Sean’s age a “Birthday Boy” but what you need is a little McLellan dynamics lesson. Sean doesn’t do the typical pet-names like Babe and Honey and Sweetie. His term of endearment for me is “girl” so naturally, I’ve taken to calling him “boy” and today that would make him “Birthday Boy” - see? Happy Birthday Boy! I laaaaav you! ;o)

Um… that last photo… should be made into a wall mural and put in the baby’s bedroom… then he (cuz its a boy) will never question your authority! Better yet… just go to the DMV and get that put on your drivers license. Not even Snake Plisken’s drivers license photo can beat that. (6.24.08, 12:47 pm)

Nashville Wedding Photographers – Centennial Park – Megan’s Bridal Portraits
Jun, 18 2008 by Mel
|
Now that the wedding day is behind us and the big reveal has occurred, you’ve really got to get an up close and personal looks at Megan’s dress! It’s so much fun and I’m so glad to finally get to share her bridal session with you all! Here are a few of my favorites… The dress made it through the session without a speck, but getting this shot brought it dangerously close to some serious muddage. (For those who are wondering, adding “age” to the end of words is my newest favorite descriptive device. Sean prefers “ocity.” For example: “Megan’s dress was dangerously close to some serious mudocity.” And now you know – we are weird.)
This is my favorite time of day at the Parthenon. The lines are so great!
So I’ve realized that all of my favorites are ones where Megan looks way serious but she’s got such a strong, sultry look doesn’t she? This one is here to show you that she’s also a super sweet person and I just like it too.
This is my favorite Centennial Park garden image ever! You have to climb through the flowers and plant the dress in the mulch to get it but it’s so worth it!
Thanks for looking! :o) - Mel | |

Rochelle: Amazying pictures! Love the first two. All of them are so gorgeous! love your work. Just came acrossed your post on OSP. Love your blog. (7.3.08, 1:17 am)
Neil Cowley: Sweet bridal shots. very nice
(I just can’t see the verticals in 1 screen to fully appreciate them….) (6.30.08, 4:42 pm)
Cathy Crawley: These are phenomenal! I love the reflection shot, what a perfect day for it. (6.30.08, 4:07 am)
Critsey: Beautiful images guys!! I love them all and could not choose a fave!
Great work! (6.27.08, 5:49 pm)
adrian hitt: wow, gorgeous dress and hair. love, love, love all of these but the 1st and the lasts take the (insert the end of this cliche) for me! (6.27.08, 2:56 pm)
Fuller Edge Photography: Love, love, LOVE them all! I can’t pick a favorite – they’re all so good! Great job! (6.24.08, 9:11 am)
david & kimi b ~ ohana photography: hahaha, mel’s comment cracked me up, but yes you cannot help but feel as one with these images
 (6.23.08, 2:40 pm) Dell: I totally love the first picture with the water! It’s amazing! Plus, I love that talked about “age” and “ocity”! We totally had that conversation! I still like “ish”, but I don’t think that “ish” would work well with mud, mudish? (6.20.08, 10:15 pm)
Mel Watson: Um… who is this “Bradford Watson” ?? Hes getting all emotional and deep and “connecting” with your work. What is that??? What have you guys done to my husband?!?! (6.20.08, 12:18 pm)
Bradford: I have to say, I’m going to go against the grain of all these comments… and say my favorite is the 3rd from the bottom. In that one, its all about the Bride… and it really shows. I think when you really see into the subjects eyes and see a “glow” in the face, the viewer develops a connection with the subject on a more personal level. Excellent shot. Love it. (6.20.08, 12:02 pm)
DoDaDay: You guys aren’t so hot! I found some photographers better than you. I wrote their names down on a piece of paper & put it on my desk. OK…here it is. Nope, that’s the grocery list. There it is, Rats….that’s my “honey do” list. I’ll dig through the trash___& be right back_________not there either. Perhaps, the dog carried it away. As soon as I find it, I’ll post for all your fans to see that think you’re so awesome. (6.20.08, 7:54 am)
jess: these are all gorgeous but i LOVE the reflection shots, i am a huge fan of reflections
awesome work as usual! (6.19.08, 7:22 pm) aim2please: awesome shots, awesome dress and wow, she does have a great smile! Here’s our best smile
(6.19.08, 4:17 pm) chris scott: These are amazing! LOVE that first shot with the reflection!
I just shot an engagement session out at the parthenon yesterday at about the same time of day these look like they were taken… isn’t that light GREAT!?!
Anyway, fantastic work, as usual!
chris. (6.19.08, 4:14 pm)
ben + laura: what a great session! love the composition with the water reflection, fantastic work! (6.19.08, 2:00 pm)
Jo: I have to agree with Mel Watson that the last image totally rocks. I love the flowers repeating the flowerage on the dress- so cool, conceptually and visually. (6.19.08, 10:07 am)
Mel Watson: Last image… best image ever!!!! Its got the flowerocity and flowerage all over it! That dress is hot too… love the detail on it. Awesome session guys.
(6.19.08, 8:53 am) abraham: my favorite the the 2nd to last photo at the edge of the water….beautiful golden light falling on her face! keep up the awesome work, thanks for sharing! (6.19.08, 8:38 am)
susan p: these pics are unreal…i am so jealous of your talent! i esp love the ones in front of the black wrought iron gate… great job guys!! (6.19.08, 7:57 am)
L.C.: These pictures are gorgeous especially the water pictures! Amazing!…. (6.19.08, 5:44 am)
david & kimi b ~ ohana photography: you’re not your job.
you’re not how much money you have in the bank.
you’re not the car you drive.
you’re not the contents of your wallet.
you’re not your flippin khakis.
you’re the all-singing all- dancing king and queen of photography!!!!!! (6.19.08, 2:56 am)
Matt Radlinski: Fantastic images, guys. Just…lovely. I love the reflection in the water on the first one. (6.19.08, 12:09 am)

Nashville Wedding Photography – Centennial Park Parthenon Wedding
Jun, 17 2008 by Mel
|
Megan and Nick’s wedding last weekend was simply fabulous! The wedding party was gorgeous, the details were perfect, and the setting was so completely dramatic! It threatened rain but in the end, the dark clouds rolled right over the outdoor ceremony without a drop. What a fantastic day! With 11 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen, it was good thinking on Megan and Nick’s part to have a ceremony location with such grand scale. Beautiful Megan and Nick, thank you so much for inviting us into your lives and allowing us to document your incredible wedding day! Hope you’re having a wonderful time in Tahiti! Hugs! Mel and Sean | |
