Preferred Vendor Highlight - Melissa Prosser Photography
Learn more about Melissa Prosser, of Melissa Prosser Photography, one of our recommended vendors, as she tells us how she got her start and how she sets herself apart.
When did you fall in love with photography? I first fell in love with photography while attending North Georgia College & State University. While dabbling around in the art building, I decided to take a photography class. I finally felt like I had found my calling! North Georgia College was a great starting point for me. It got my feet and hands (literally!) wet with fixer and decided that this was what I wanted to do with my life. I just wasn't sure how I was going to going about making a career of it yet.
When did you start your photography career? During the spring of 2005, I started researching wedding photographers in the Atlanta area. I sent out a few emails to several well-known photographers and luckily, my favorite one responded! I went in to have a brief interview with him and got myself an internship. I continued interning while finishing up my degree and graduated in December of 2005.
What happened next? As an intern, I learned so much about the business of wedding photography that it was a bit overwhelming. My internship quickly changed into a weekly job, then becoming a second photographer at weddings and then a primary photographer. After several years of working under another photographer, it was time for me to spread my wings and Melissa Prosser Photography hit the ground running full force three years ago!
How many years have you been photographing weddings? In total, I am going into my sixth year in the wedding photography business.
What sets you apart from other photojournalists? I think the biggest thing that sets me apart from the rest if how much I love what I do! I look on the bright side of life and I think that reflects in my work. I have had countless guests come up to me at weddings and comment on how much fun I am to work with because it's just evident that I love what I do. They tell me that I have a great attitude and thank me for being a pleasure to work with. That just makes my heart smile. Another aspect that sets me apart is that every package comes with a full resolution jump drive of your wedding day negatives. I want you to have all of your wedding photographs!
How are your pictures different? I take the time to do what I call an "artistic edit" of your photos. On your final jump drive, you will be amazed at how beautiful you look, how amazing the venue is and how the overall day is presented. Your edit will combine color, sepia, black and white and just breathtaking photos that you won't find anywhere else. I believe that this edit is super valuable.
What's your best advice for a bride? There is no need to stress out. At the end of the day, you will be married to the person of your dreams...so what if one hair is out of place? I quietly observe the day as it unfolds, document what is happening with the camera and try to help out if there is any way I can be of assistance. This day is all about you. I'm there to help celebrate your day and take photos to make these memories last a lifetime.

Preferred Vendor Highlight - Eric Little
Learn more about Eric Little, of Eric Little Photography, one of our recommended vendors, as he shares his love for photography, weddings and Cuscowilla.
How long have you been a photographer? I opened my photography studio in 2003. Starting with the first camera my father had given to me to this moment, I have always had a passion for photography.
What do you love about photography? I have been blessed by being part of so many happy memories and have had a great time document weddings, families and newborns. It is a time capsule of great experiences. Looking through my portfolio you can see the complete happiness within the images I have captured, and will continue to do so.
What do you love about Cuscowilla? Over the years I have been honored to have been a part of a great team of individuals to work with. The team at Cuscowilla has also given me that honor. With such a great staff and a wonderfully beautiful location, Cuscowilla has always been one of my favorite sites. Picturesque images abound at this location, it seems endless.
What do you love about weddings? Being part of a wedding is an honor, and I treat it that way. I always like to begin with getting to know all my clients. I love shooting engagement sessions. It is a great way to break the ice, and for the bride and groom to get to know me. There are a lot of laughs, and a real understanding and bond is made. This really helps in making the wedding day run much more smoothly, and builds the confidence and calmness in them to know I will take care of capturing those special moments on their wedding day.
What are you favorite shots to get at weddings? When wedding day arrives, myself and my team are onsite when makeup is being done to the couple's first glance at each other down the aisle to when they escape for their honeymoon. No stone left unturned, or photo left not taken. I love to capture the moments of a mom crying, a dad boasting about his beautiful daughter, and friends laughter as they dance the night away. Not forgetting those special moments when we capture the couple alone for those special portraits.
What do you love about your job the most? This is a job I never get tired of. Great fun. Great people. Great photographs.“Capturing images to hold your memories” is not just our catch phrase – it is a commitment.Thank you to Cuscowilla and our past and future brides and grooms. I do look forward to being part of such a special moment in your lives!
