Samantha & Taylor | Canterbury United Methodist Wedding

09.29.15

Samantha & Taylor’s Christmas wedding was the most beautiful & elegant Christmas-themed wedding I’ve seen. Canterbury United Methodist Church’s classic Christmas decor set the perfect mood for Samantha & Taylor’s ceremony and Greystone Country Club was decked out with green, gold and ivory wreaths, garland & reindeer. The ballroom was the picture of cozy, Christmas elegance, complete with crackling fireplaces and twinkle lights galore…ooooooh, I can’t WAIT for Christmas!!!

Thank you Samantha & Taylor for allowing me to be a part of your wedding. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you and I’ve loved seeing you at other weddings throughout the year and capturing your killer dance moves along the way 🙂 I hope Nashville is treating you well! Birmingham misses you!

2015 Engagement Session Giveaway #2 Winner | Birmingham Alabama Wedding Photographer

09.16.15

It’s finally time to announce the winner of the Engagement Session Giveaway! I swear, it gets harder and harder every year to choose a winner. I read and re-read each of your stories a million times, I close my computer, say a prayer, open my computer and read them all again. I genuinely CANNOT decide who should win because, in reality, I want to meet ALL of you and hear about your wedding planning and get to know you even more during an engagement session! So this morning, after agonizing for hours over this decision, I decided to let fate decide with a random drawing. And of course, as usual, I couldn’t just stop with one. And today, I couldn’t even just stop at TWO!! So, I went for three. Yes, I drew THREE names this year!! EEEK! I couldn’t help myself! You’re all so deserving of beautiful engagement (and wedding) photos and if I could give everything away for free and still pay my mortgage, I probably would…but I can’t and my husband probably wouldn’t be very happy with me if I tried 😉

I want to take just one more second to thank ALL of you for taking the time to tell me your stories. One of my favorite aspects of this job is meeting new couples who are so in love, hearing all about their wedding planning and being a part of the happiest and most exciting time in their lives. So, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your love story with me. Now, with all of that said, it’s time to cut to the chase…the Winners!!

Sarah & Mark | Alabama Summer Engagement Photos

08.27.15

As I finish up this gorgeous couple’s wedding photos, I can’t help but remember their amazing early summer engagement session, so I decided to go back and drool over them one more time…and share them with you, as well. Sarah wore her grandmother’s vintage black dress that she wore years ago during her own wedding festivities. I can’t think of anything more special (and GORGEOUS) than that. This session, on the campus of the University of Montevallo? It was perfect.

Shelby & Austin | Romantic Alabama 4H Center Wedding

07.31.15

Shelby & Austin’s rustic, Alabama 4H Center fall wedding was nothing short of picturesque. The beautiful backdrop of the 4H center provided the perfect scene for the rustic and romantic wedding that Shelby dreamed of. Her gorgeous lace gown was perfectly complemented by the deep purple of her bridesmaids’ dresses. Every detail was carefully chosen and coordinated wonderfully. Lavender roses, magenta hydrangea and delicate baby’s breath decorated the wooden, open-air chapel in the woods and when Shelby walked down the aisle, the smile on Austin’s face lit up the world. Being a part of days like this are what make me love being a wedding photographer. Shelby & Austin, it was such an honor to be a part of your wedding. Thank you for everything!
