Kelley + Cole’s Engagement Session – Ponce City Market | Atlanta Engagement Photographer

1 CommentAdults, Couples,

Kelley and Cole are getting married next year, and they could not be a cuter couple! We met up at Ponce City Market last month, and we had the best time exploring the property. It’s such a cool place, and I loved getting to check it out… it’s got so many great spots for photos! I hear that the next phase is the rooftop, which sounds really fun. I can’t wait to go back to try their restaurants/food stands and shop some more. Kelley and Cole, thank you for allowing me to photograph your engagement session — it was a blast!

Leslie’s Maternity Session – Peachtree City | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

Adults, Couples, Families

Leslie and Matt are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their little lady, who they’re naming Olivia. I went down to Peachtree City to shoot their maternity session at their home, which I love to do… seeing how clients have decorated their babies’ nurseries is one of my favorite things! Their 2 German Shepherds were so excited to meet someone new and be included in the photos, too. I can’t wait to meet miss Olivia when she arrives soon!

Holiday Mini Sessions | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Couples, Families

November and December… the most wonderful time of the year! Also the busiest for family photographers. 🙂 With a newborn and an abundant amount of photo sessions on my plate this fall, I’m quite behind on blogging. So here’s a little peak at what I’ve been up to… family holiday sessions galore! I’m so grateful for my dear clients who have trusted in me to capture their beautiful families each year. 2015 was an incredible year for Melissa Hayes Photography, and I’ve so enjoyed sharing it with all of you!

Connor + Casey’s Engagement Session – Buckhead | Atlanta Engagement Photographer

Adults, Couples,

I always love when I’m given the opportunity to photograph people I know, especially great friends. Casey and Connor are getting married in Charleston later this summer, and my hubby is one of Casey’s groomsmen. We had a great time at their engagement session, and I’m so excited to celebrate them at their wedding!

Sonya + Dimitar’s Engagement Session – Piedmont Park | Atlanta Engagement Photographer

Adults, Couples,

Sonya and Dimitar are getting married this September… in their native country of Bulgaria! I can’t imagine that task that comes along with planning a wedding taking place halfway across the world, but they seemed to have it all under control. They are such a sweet couple, and I wish them all the best (and safe travels) on their wedding adventure!
