Carrie & Patrick’s engagement shoot inside Sanford Stadium | Athens, GA | November 16, 2009

If you know me or my family, we have a long time history of bleeding a bit red and black.  Well, so do Carrie and Patrick!  Carrie did an INCREDIBLE task of getting in touch with the right people, and got us clearance to do this shoot inside Sanford Stadium!!!  We actually got to walk on the grass (or lay on it in my case) walk around wherever we wanted to, and have fun!  I will say, it was a bit surreal to be inside the stadium with no cheering crowd.  We had a great time and got some amazing photos!  Below are my favorites, but be sure to check out the SLIDESHOW for more!

We took this photo just a few days before UGA died.  How crazy is that?

Susan Yawn - Melissa,

I am Patrick’s mom, and I just wanted to tell you how great these pictures are. I don’t know how they will ever decide on which one to use as their official engagement picture.

You are an amazing photographer and I look forward to the wedding day

Susan

Chris Collins - Great stuff there Melissa! Thats my stomping ground, and hard core Dawg as well!

Kathy Grate - Melissa, these photos are so amazing! Love ‘em to pieces! :D

George Yawn - Good pictures! I’m impressed at how y’all got access to get inside the stadium. I could have never done that. Look forward to seeing the wedding pictures cause these are so good!

This is Patrick’s father all the way from Houston!! Hook’em Horns!!

Danny Cox - I am very impressed with the pictures you did for Carrie and Patrick. My fiance wanted to do engagement picture but her mother was against it. So I’m thinking of surprising her by paying for it and having it done for her. Like Carrie and Patrick we’re HUGE UGA fans and would love to be able to kinda do the same pictures. Do you know who I would need to talk to about getting access or who she might have talked to get access to the field? And also what’s a ball park cost on these pictures?

Thanks
Danny

stephanie - My dream wedding is to be on the 50 yrd line saying my vows. Who would I have to talk to in order for this to happen?
