Our engagement was some of the most fun we’ve ever had and we’re excited for you to experience the same! We are thrilled you love our brand of photography and want to learn more about what we do. At our core, McClanahan Studio is an impenetrable husband/wife duo. We like to think we have the coolest job in the world because it encompasses two of our biggest passions: people and photography. We work seamlessly together with complimentary eyes that capture a full palette of intimate moments, details and cutting–edge portraits. We would love to meet you and invite you to swing by our studio or call us anytime. –Dan and Alex
