    Ashlee & Ben | Birmingham, AL Engagement Photographer

    I think that the goal of most wedding photographers is to not only fill up their calendars with amazing weddings, but to have those weddings booked by their ideal clients.  (At least, that’s MY goal.)  Obviously, that ideal client looks different for everyone, but for me those clients look like Ashlee & Ben.  In fact, I’ve been incredibly lucky so far in all of my 2014 bookings because ALL of my clients are amazing.

    Working with people who are excited to be working with me, who love me and my work and sing my praises every chance they get to anyone who will listen is incredible.  Working with people who feel more like friends than clients makes my heart sing.  It also makes a wedding day that much more awesome for everyone involved.

    That is why when Ashlee contacted me over the summer requesting information for her wedding next fall, I was turning backflips.  You see, Ashlee has been one of my biggest cheerleaders for almost a year now and we had never even met.  She found my engagement session giveaway last year through Facebook (Ahhhh! The magic of social media!) and encouraged her BFF, Bri, to enter.  Bri & Ron booked their wedding with me as a result & have also become some of my favorites.  You may remember their incredible engagement session from this post & this post.  Anyway, I’m rambling.  The point is this…I LOVE my clients & definitely think of them as friends and that makes my life complete.

    Ashlee & Ben drove all the way from Atlanta to The Middle of Nowhere, Alabama for their engagement session & they never once questioned my craziness.  We found the most incredible open field, cotton field & wheat field combination & I was in Heaven.  God definitely blessed us that day!  Ashlee & Ben were amazing.  So natural & obviously in love…and their precious pups added an extra layer of goodness.  They made my job a breeze.  I absolutely cannot wait for their gorgeous fall wedding in the North Georgia mountains!!
