I can’t WAIT to share Patty & Scott’s GORGEOUS Savannah, Georgia wedding with you tomorrow. Until then, turn up your sound and prepare to be wowed by the groom’s rapping skills in “Jump Around” by House of Pain. Personally, my favorite part of the video is when he says, “VERSE TWO!” Too good not to share… so much fun!
For best viewing results: press play and pause, let video fully load, and then watch! : )
I’m so happy that Whitney + Reed‘s GORGEOUS Biltmore Ballrooms wedding was chosen to be featured on Glamour & Grace. Thank you, Megan, for your daily inspiration and for featuring this sweet couple! Go check out the full feature and Whitney’s words about the wedding HERE, y’all. : )
I’ve been photographing some beautiful babies lately — lucky me! Sweet Suzie Marie is no exception. I met her parents through one of my hubby’s law school functions; I saw Suzie Marie strapped to her mama in the Björn and was smitten! : ) Here are some favorites of my time with 11-weeks-old Suzie Marie and her parents.
Such big, gorgeous eyes!
Absolute fave.
She loves her mobile!
Ahh, I LOVE that one of her looking/smiling at Michael when y’all were outside. Love all of them. And those eyes certainly are something else! Congrats.
Look a those eyes!!!!
Awwww Melissa, thank you so much. These are perfect!! And Ryan, I love that one too! So sweet.
Melissa you are so talented!!! These are beautiful. I can’t wait to frame the one with her wearing the bonnet. So sweet:)
Beautiful job, Melissa! That baby is SO CUTE.
It only took a few minutes for Marina & Justin to warm up in front of the camera. They are so comfortable together and happy and it certainly shows! I met up with them to do their engagement shoot in Charlotte, NC. We started out just around the corner from their neighborhood — Freedom Park — and then (because of the spotty rain), we headed uptown to the Urban Garden. Such a cool spot with lots of natural light. Enjoy a glimpse in the world of these two lovebirds. : )
Love this one!
Another absolute fave!
Work it, Marina!
Gorgeous couple, great photos! I’m looking forward to doing their video and working again with the fabulous Melissa Tuck!
great photos, melissa! happy almost wedding day, marina!!!!! :)
Darcy & Daniel — let me tell you about these two. They are awesome peeps and so were their wedding guests! On the day they tied the knot, I was surrounded by incredibly NICE and FUN people and so much LOVE. Case in point:
You may remember Darcy & Daniel from their e-shoot. They are big UNC fans but ultimately decided to have the wedding in Darcy’s hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. But as a nod to their alma mater (and the place they met), Darcy and Daniel included some UNC flair in the decor and colors. Regular followers of my blog know that I was in heaven, because I bleed Carolina blue and Asheville is one of my favorite cities! : )

Daniel & Darcy were married at the GORGEOUS North Carolina Arboretum, and the celebration followed at The Centry Room at Pack’s Tavern. It was threatening rain all day (and even started drizzling a couple of hours before their ceremony), but as the ceremony was set to begin, the sun peeked out! Seriously, this couple has got some amazeballs karma, and I know why — they’re so genuine and care so much for others! D-squared, I’m SO happy and humbled to have documented your wedding! Enjoy some of my favorites!
Special shout out and thanks to Tye Harris, who helped me shoot their wedding. She rocks and I’ve included some of her shots in this post!
LOVED this. Darcy borrowed engagement rings from mothers and grandmothers and wore them on an ivory ribbon as a necklace, as they are examples of strong marriages before her own. How creative is she and how sweet is that?
These girls were so much fun! My angle…
… and Tye’s view.
Darcy’s sweet nieces were the flower girls.
My good friend, Meg, was one of the ceremony readers. Absolutely adored what she read — Paul Newman’s letter to his wife on their wedding day.
More cuteness!
Great exit shot by Tye…
… and the reaction of the bridesmaids as well! : )
All the guests in one photo — love when couples want to plan for this. So neat!
Such a lovely dessert table! And the cake toppers were AMAZING (done by the bride’s sister)!
Some hilarious kid shots by Tye!
A past bride & groom – Tracy & Clark! So happy to see them! : )
I LOVE the rings as a necklace idea!!!
Beautifil post as usual – This last picture with the rings as crowns is priceless!!
wow to all the DIY details! beautiful shots of the couple dancing, melissa! LOVE LOVE LOVE….
