je vois photography

Several weeks ago I got to second shoot with the very talented Jennifer of Bang Images.  I love shooting weddings.  My big personality lends itself quite well to being bossy (in a winsome way I hope) as the main shooter at weddings, but there’s something so very wonderful about second shooting.  I get to wander […]

Amanda and Paul were married in Mexico.  Without me.  But they had a great, fun party here and invited me to be their Birmingham reception photographer.  It was really fun to watch them together.  I know I, and all wedding photographers, say that a lot.  But here’s what I mean.  Amanda is fairly confident… she […]

When I woke up on Colleen and John’s wedding day, the weather forecast was not predicting good things.  The sky looked ominous all day.  I was thinking about the good points- it’s good luck to rain on your wedding day, the church has lots of beautiful windows, Colleen is so optimistic it’ll be fine…  But […]

I love when a family I knew a little gets in touch with me years down the road for a child’s wedding.  When Morgan, her mom and sister and I got together months ago to discuss her wedding, we had so many things in common that we talked for a really long time- Homewood, Dawson, […]

On a beautiful Sunday in July, I got to attend Caroline and Matt’s beautiful wedding.  And take pictures.  Their ceremony was one of my very favorites.  You’ll see in a moment that they are a gorgeous couple on the outside.  But by observing their actions toward each other and seeing the details and thought that […]

Amanda and Will were married Saturday after a seven year-long relationship.  I asked Amanda about the 7 years and she said they talked about a wedding 4 years ago.  It ended in a huge fight because of a miscommunication (don’t they all?!)  Right then and there Amanda vowed not to bring it up again because […]

This Saturday was what brides dream of as far as weather for their wedding day.  Beth and Evan originally planned on an evening wedding with a large reception with dancing, etc.  This is what most of their friends did.  But then they started thinking about it and decided that wasn’t them.  They are brunch people, […]

When I start thinking about what I’ll write as I blog a wedding I plan to say “This was my favorite part…”  But within each wedding I have around 4 or 5 “favorite” parts.  Instead of telling you all dozen of my favorite moments Jen and Tommy’s wedding, I’ll just warn you ahead of time- […]

Back in November I met with this beautiful girl that I really liked.  Her wedding was in March and I wanted to be the photographer.  Our personalities clicked, her plans sounded gorgeous and I just knew her bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks would make a beautiful bride.  What I didn’t know is that Anna […]

I have so many things to say about this wedding.  From the amazing style and smile of the bride to the easy-going, comfortable demeanor of the groom… the laughter-filled bridesmaids to the fun-loving, dance-loving groomsmen… the amazing band, food, bride’s dress… the perfect day both schedule and weather-wise.  All of it was better than I […]

Liesa and Chad were married on a beautiful, crisp November day.  Everything was perfect and went so smoothly that I was worried we were forgetting something the whole time!  But it seems that all the details, including the most important- the marriage- did happen.  I am so in love with St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic […]

Ever wonder what these crazy people called photographers look like on a wedding day?  What we DO to get our brides and grooms to do what they do?  A few of my 2nd shooters (Thanks to Kelly Cummings and Natalie Spargo!) have slyly captured me doing my thing over the last year and here is […]

My Saturday started a little rough (stomach virus in the middle of the night.)  And had a few bumps at the end (flat tire as I left the reception.)  But the rest of the day was beautiful and filled with Jenny and Payton’s wedding festivities! I hadn’t met Jenny or Payton before last year, although […]

It was hot as blue blazes on Danielle and Trey’s wedding day.  It rained three times, but never where Danielle was.  We think that means this marriage has extra luck!  I started the day with Danielle at her parents home in Liberty Park.  All the women in the family had their hair done there, and make […]

Everyone loves a good love story.   Ones like Rachel and Jay’s are some of my favorites… boy meets girl, boy and girl go different directions, boy and girl meet again years later, fall in love and live happily ever after.  A few Saturdays ago, I got to witness the beginning of Rachel and Jay’s happily […]
