Melissa is so talented and owns Melissa Storey Photography, providing maternity, newborn and family photography to the Carolinas. Needless to say, we had plenty to talk about! We both admitted to each other that we were nervous before the session. I was nervous because she knew what was going on and I wanted her to be happy.

Amanda & Brandon’s wedding day was filled with love and sentimental traditions. It was sweet how different family members contributed to the day in different ways to make it special and memorable. The dollar bill that had been carried by Amandas mother and sister in their wedding, was given to Amanda to carry with her […]

This day had been long awaited. Postponed. And the postponed again. Due to circumstances out of anyones control. But Sarah and Mike didn’t give up when it came to having the wedding that they wanted. They kept replanning, and finally, on August 29, they got to say “I do”. It was well worth the wait […]
