Welcome

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Melissa Pepin Photography blog and thanks for stopping by! Dig your way through our posts, see our most current work, and leave a comment or two... We LOVE those!

My favorite part about this super awesome job I have is getting to meet and interact with all of our wonderful clients. I'm 100% convinced that our clients are the best in the world and we're so excited to show everyone the awesome people we shoot everyday!

I live in Athens, Ga with my husband, Anthony (the other 1/2 of this crazy business!) and 2 spoiled-rotten cocker spaniels, Charlie and Sophie... so in these posts you will find our most recent work and our personal life stories. This is a place of honesty and a chance for you all to have insight into our everyday lives:some times boring...sometimes crazy exciting. So, come along for the ride and thanks for stopping by!

I have known Channe’l since she was in 7th or 8th grade and Im so excited (and a little freaked out!) to be shooting her wedding! Her family is as sweet as can be and she and Nick fit together like a glove. Their engagement session was a lot of fun and THANK you a million times guys for braving the REALLY cold and windy weather for your session.  These two are getting married next month too so…be on the look out..you havent seen the last of them!

Suzann & Johnny: Engaged!!!

Everyone, meet Suzann and Johnny! They are getting married in a few weeks and we couldnt be more happy to spend their big day with them! Normally…grooms are a LITTLE apprehensive when we starting shooting these kinds of sessions…but Johnny is  a CHAMP! And boy does he LOVE him some Suzann! :) hehehehe From the tush tap prior to walking in the front door of our studio to the ridiculously sweet gestures he offered her during the shoot…its MORE than evident that she is the woman he’s waited his whole life for. :) I just LOVE it! These two are really perfect for each other and to top it off…they got engaged after jumping out of an airplane!!!??? Craziness! hehehe…anywho..here are a few of our favorites from their shoot!!!

This last week I have been shooting like a crazy person so…Im editing like a FOOL right now between shoots! So…I thought I would tease you guys a little with a little preview of the two engagement sessions I had Saturday. Channel and Nick are getting married and December and Amanda and Jordan are getting married in April and we are SOOOOO excited to be a part of both of these events. I must say…we get the best couples out there. :) K…back to the ole computer screen for me…here ya go!

Little sweet miss

The other day my friend Heidi dropped by the studio for a visit and we happened to snag a few pictures of her sweet brand new baby Marleighna…p.s. Im probably totally butchering the spelling on this one…sorry Heidi! :) 

 

Paige: SENIOR!!!!

*NOTE: we are actionless for this post because we have just switched our entire system over to Mac (millie….you’d be proud! :) ) and our logo action is going to have to be updated. :) So…now you know…

 

 

Hey everyone!!! This is Paige! She is a senior this year, graduating in May and this week we shot her senior portraits! We had the best time laughing and cutting up and she was such a sport to brave the weather out when it was STINKIN cold! Her mom and brother, Will, came along and we all wrapped up the session with a big ole fat cup of coffee at Trax right near our studio…mmmm 1000 faces organic fair trade coffee….mmmm.. :) heheheh p.s. Paige, I KNOW your going to Tech and getting a lot of crap for it…but remind Will that he put salt in his coffee next time he gets on your back about it…okay?? :) hehehehe Here are a few of our favorites from the shoot…good luck next year Paige! We’re sooooooo excited for you!!!

 

Nicole and Cullen: Married!!!

Okay..I know you guys are probably like “Are these people your BFF or WHAT??!!!” because you have seen them so much on here…and to answer that questions…well..YES! AND..they hired up for the complete wedding experiance…and it was A-Mazing! :) We just love these two and Im SOOOOO excited about the growing friendship we have put into place since they booked us early in the spring. I cant think of two people that love each other more…that love their families more…or that want to love other people more. There is something so special about these two and I feel utterly blessed and honored to be friends with the so I can stick around and see exactly what that special thing is! :)

Their wedding was really sweet and a whole lot of fun. Cullen is so considerate of Nicole and the way he looks at her is…with all disregaurd to sounding cheezy… magical. :) The way she looks at him is no different and I will tell you this…for as much as Nicole loves her daddy and for as teary eyed as it got when her daddy gave her away…Cullen better hold her close and know that his wife means a whole lot to a lot of people…these two were really meant for each other. :)

Here are a few of our favorite images from their wedding..I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ones of Nicole and her father…I wont lie..even I got emotional when he saw her for the first time!!! And the reception was so much fun..I think everyone left saying the same things we did!

We love you Cullen and Nicole….Harry Bissetts ASAP, okay??? (oh..sorry..I totally ment just me and Anthony..you guys will have to watch our kid remember.. :) eheheheh)

OH! This is ME at Nicole and Cullens wedding..heheheheh

Happy Halloween….a week later.. :)

here are a few pics from our Halloween day fun..we got visits at our house from Dino Vi and from Sadie the tomato…it was really cute seeing these little misses all dressed up. You will also see Charlie and Sophie featured here as a stinky skunk and a big ole fat chicken…and Missys dogs dropped by too..Ollie the purple monkey and Peabody the lobster…oh the things people with kids will do..to their dogs! hahahaahha anywho..here are a few images for those of you that asked…a few of them are fuzzy..but Im telling you it was like 15 minutes of pure chaos so…its fitting. :)

Nicole and Cullen got married last weekend and I cant wait to post those pictures soon too, BUT..these have been in hiding for several weeks and now we can finally post them! :) Nicole and Cullen ahve a beautiful house with tons of beautiful land that we used…as well as her dad with all of his bails of hay and beautiful farm land…so..we had a hay day taking her pictures!(no pun intended…well..maybe a little. :) heheeheh) Here are a few of our favorites. :)

Vi’s a big girl!!!

Before I left for San Diego I shot pictures of Violet to mark her big girl birthday of 1 whole year!!! I cant believe how old she is! It seems like just a few months ago she was still in her mamas belly and we were all excited about her arrival…and I think she knows that I have a baby in my tummy too because she chases me around the house whenever Im around her…silly ole Vi.. :) Anywho..here are a few of my favorites and HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Violet…p.s…dont have sex…ever… :) okay..missy will get it. heheheh
