Dani and Joe’s wedding was the best way to end our 2011 wedding year It was a party!!! They had a special ring warming as part of the ceremony, which was such a sweet way to start their married lives together. And then, there was dancing, dancing, and more dancing! Followed by sparklers and mustaches. Yes, mustaches. Thank you again for letting me share in the celebration!

Julia and Andy have something about their relationship that is just too adorable for words, so here’s something that I think explains it way better than I ever could.
Can’t wait for your wedding next year!

Elizabeth and Steve had a small, intimate wedding at sunrise on Folly Beach. Yes, I said SUNRISE. It was a laid back affair with family and close friends who were willing to travel and celebrate with them VERY early in the morning. Elizabeth and I hit it off immediately at their consultation with very similar senses of humor, and Steve was ready for anything the day had in store.

Also, I (Mell Bell) had my sweet husband Nathan as my second photographer for the first time ever! I hope you enjoy this collection of some of my favorite from their wedding day. You can check out their album design at: Elizabeth and Steve

Kelli and Brandon’s wedding photography at Dunes West in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

I was honored to receive a call from the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, who commissioned us to create new group and individual portraits of their core ensembles.   Over two days of shooting, we got a great collection. Thank you so much to all of the musicians who came out to participate — was a joy to get to be involved in this small way in the great work that you do.

This past Saturday, I had the honor and privilege of photographing the wedding of two very dear friends, Maggie & Zeb. We have all known each other since my family and I moved to Charleston when I was only 13 years old!!! Maggie and Zeb had an incredibly beautiful and fun wedding. I can’t say enough about how perfectly everything came together, so thank you to everyone who put so much hard work into making such a special day happen.

I had a hard time picking out “just” a few for this blog…so stay tuned for their album design to see all the rest!

I highly recommend the band Soul Fish, by the way! They were just amazing and everyone had SO much fun! They can really keep the party going!
(If you’ve never heard them play, you should…they play often at several different Wild Wings as well as Rooftop at Vendue and others!)

Also…Joyce and Chris attended Maggie’s wedding…aren’t they cute?
They’re getting married VERY soon and guess who will be their photographer?

And Mell got a cute one of the three of us at the very end!
