Melissa and Ryan came up from Georgia for their engagement session, but will be married at the
Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in June. It’s going to be an awesome wedding – I can already tell from talking to Melissa (who is also a photographer! – check out her stuff
HERE) – she has great style and fun ideas.
They wanted both a romantic, field type look for their session, as well as a fun, quirky location for their second look. Luckily, we were able to get a few cute shots QUICKLY at the field, as the bugs were AWFUL.
Our clients are always welcome to bring along their dogs if they’d like for the shoot – it just is harder to align the stars…..things are a tad more difficult when trying to get control of a dog and still get the shot of the couple. Bella – their dog – however, is super chill, super sweet…she was easy to shoot. 🙂




I so love this. Melissa is a vegetarian and Ryan is a vegan, so she brought along their favorites – avocados for her; oranges for him.

Of course we wanted to incorporate this globe when Melissa told us she had it in her car.

I have a few other cute shots of this with Bella, but I thought this one was the most adorable – the look on her face just cracks me up.
Can’t wait for June, Melissa and Ryan! 🙂
