Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
I adore Kat and her Rock N Roll blog! Every time she posts something new, I get a giddy feeling in my tummy! Can you imagine how giddy I feel when I see MY OWN WORK on there? 🙂  Loni and Todd’s desert trash the dress (check out my post below this one!) was featured yesterday on one of my favorite blogs
Check it out here and leave a comment if you wish!
Thanks Kat!

*My blog was hacked on 1/6/2010 and I lost my three latest blogs. This is a repost of the original blog. Unfortunately I lost all my comments in the process. Feel free to leave another one!*
2009 has been an amazing year in business and my personal life! I had my most successful year business-wise. I owe it all to the support of my family, friends and clients!
I shot some amazing weddings this year as well as a large amount of other type of sessions. I feel like I continue to grow in photography and life with each day. I am so grateful to everyone in my life, you all add a little something and I am a better person knowing you!
Here’s to an even more amazing 2010!!
My fabulous 2009 brides and grooms below!!
Love you all!

ps The AMAZING website design was done by none other than my studio-mate Cathy with Love at First Invite! Â She is now taking commissions for web design, contact her through her own website at www.loveatfirstinvite.com!!
My phone was off the whole cruise! I swear, it was! I turned it back on Monday morning, open my inbox and the very first email I read is one from Southern Weddings Magazine with the spread below in it. At first, I questioned why they were sending me this until I opened the spread to see my photo was published! And surrounded by some really inspiring photographers too! Let’s just say this news made my month! 🙂
Here is the cover to the issue – go find it in stores November 11th! (Cover photo shot by the amazing Jeremy Cowart)
And some really cool ring shots – mine is 4th down, in the middle! Ring shot from Kelly and Ryan’s April wedding! Yay!!
Happy 29th Birthday to ME!
My very dear friend (and lovely assistant) Mandi baked me this yumtastic cake for my birthday! It was a recipe that my grandmother made for every family birthday, so it meant a lot to me that she was willing to attempt it for me! And yes, it was as yummy as it looks; see her blog for the recipe!
I am also very happy to announce that Mandi Whiting will be joining the Melissa McClure Photography team as a 2010 Associate Photographer!
The website has already been updated to show you some of her latest work as well as give you a sneak peek in to who she is! She will be taking on her own weddings in the next year in case I am already booked or my pricing is a bit out of budget!
I will continue to deal with all the business concerns, editing and shooting my own weddings, but Mandi is a welcome addition to take on extra work!
You can always reach me at melissa@melissamcclure.com but now Mandi is available at mandi@melissamcclure.com!
