I had such a fun time with Bess and Stephen. They braved a cold morning with me (on Super Bowl Sunday at that — props to Stephen!) to do their engagement session here in Athens. They both went to UGA so we walked around north campus and then headed over to the Prince Ave. area. I’m super bummed that I’m not available to shoot their wedding, but I’m glad we crossed paths long enough for me to capture their sweet relationship. They also brought along their two golden retrievers (11 years and four months!) for a few photos, which was awesome because I’m such a dog-lover. Congratulations again you two! On to the photos…
Red is on the left and Doc is on the right (love their names!)…
They were quite well-behaved when I took their owners away for a bit. How adorable is this?
Bess wears her grandmother’s antique ring. LOVE it.

Nicole H. - Loveeeee these pics – you are such a good photographer. I feel like you make everyone look so warm and happy… it makes me want to meet all your subjects. :)
I especially love that cool wall in the second pic. And the ring – holy moly, that is one gorgeous ring. And the pups are so freaking cute.
Marty Barber - Dear Melissa,
I am Bess’s mom. These pictures are so lovely. They capture Bess and Stephen’s relationship and excitment about their upcoming wedding. We look forward to working with you in the future !
Gratefully,
