Tom and Melanie's Beautiful Sewanee Wedding

This post is so long overdue, but hopefully the images were worth the wait. The Fall wedding season has been full of excitement and travel this year, so I'm a bit behind on edits and posting.

Tom and Melanie both graduated from Sewanee, so it was only natural that they were married there. The big day was Sept. 25th, 2010. It was a bit overcast at first, and the traditional Sewanee fog even rolled in for a few minutes, but the night could not have been more beautiful. The temperature was great, the air was dry, and that combined with an outdoor tent behind the Sewanee Inn made for some festive dancing (thanks to Kelly Farmer with Nashville Party Patrol for providing the music)!

The amazing Ken Taylor did the flowers and the food was done by the wonderful Janie Slagle of Natural Bridge Events. Stefanie Delinois with Something Blue Weddings & Events was great at making sure everything ran smoothly the whole time.

Melanie got ready at the Parker house on University Ave. I LOVE photographing in this house. First off, it's a gorgeous old home with more character than you can find a Mark Twain story. It has wallpaper peeling off the walls, old light fixtures that have been there since the house was built, retrofitted wiring and plumbing running along the outside of the plaster walls, peeling painted floors, and the coolest old bathrooms you've ever seen. I've never shot a dress shot in a bathroom before, especially with the toilet and toilet paper in the image, but I couldn't resist. The contrast was beautiful. This first shot may be one of my favorite dress shots I've taken.

Below is an awesome slideshow, which is the best way to get through the photos, along with a handful of other favorites! The full set of images may be viewed here.
