I often have so much to say about each wedding on this blog.  Oddly, I don’t have tons to say about this one.  It was special.  One of my all-time favorites.  Why?  Because Stone Bridge Farms is beautiful and perfect?  Of course that contributed.  The land and space is beautiful and has everything you could […]

Michelle is another precious girl that I’ve known since she was a child.  We all knew her wedding would be fabulous (although there was lots of speculation that she would be in a bedazzled princess gown- did she ever shock us!!) and her wedding did not disappoint. What was even MORE fabulous was watching her […]

I look forward to all the weddings I’m privileged to be a part of.  But this wedding, Jane Anne and Kyle’s, was especially exciting.  Jane Anne is the daughter of some of our family’s oldest friends- my parents best friends from college and my dad’s best friend from childhood. My brother’s God parents. So, it […]

Fairly often I meet couples and families who make my job easy.  Of course just their general look and style factor in, as you’ll see in this wedding.  But even more is their comfort and chemistry with each other.  Anna and Matt enjoy each other.  I bet their blood pressures drop when they’re together just […]

I’ve lived in Birmingham almost my entire life, and until Julie and Matt asked me to shoot their wedding there, I had never set foot inside The Donnelly House.  It’s so beautiful, y’all!!!  And the owner and coordinator are so knowledgeable and so lovely to work with.  It was a perfect place for this fun, […]

On Alexus and Brad’s wedding day, it felt like spring.  But, don’t be fooled.  This gorgeous Auburn/Opelika wedding was in the bleak of February.  And it was as beautiful as you could have dreamed up. As if planning a wedding wasn’t enough, this impressive couple was days away from graduating from medical school  (yes, both […]

Remember that day it snowed and iced and it was so much fun to sled?  And so beautiful? Well, people had weddings planned for that weekend.  And the snow and ice and mess made it really hard for those weddings.  For those sweet brides and their mamas.  But you know who was happy?  THIS photographer.  […]

Several months ago I got an inquiry from a girl named Hannah.  She was in Colorado, so we set up a time to talk rather than getting together.  (Sidenote- I always try to meet with brides before they book me.  Your photographer is a huge part of your day and you need to be able […]

Long ago a ballet teacher taught a precious little ginger named Sydney.  Fast forward almost 20 years…. that same, now beautiful, ginger gets engaged to the love of her life and calls that ballet teacher, now wedding photographer, to photograph her wedding.  The rest of the story was just as wonderful! It was a crisp, […]

Deidra and I have gotten to know each other at several weddings over the years.  She is part of a really tight knit group of girls that have included me in their SUPER FUN, beautiful weddings in Alexander City, AL.  At each wedding she was often the one looking after the bride and the details… […]

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 […]

I may have been as eager as the bride and groom to show off this wedding.  What’s amazing to me is that while the bride and groom considered eloping up until a month or so before the wedding, every detail was thought out and beautiful.  Rachel and Walt met years before they actually fell in […]

A few weeks ago, I enjoyed the loveliest hot, summer wedding day with David and Holly.  They had been together for a long time and I should have know by their intricate plans for the future that the wedding would be impeccable.  I know you’ll agree that she is just gorgeous (her bridal portrait session […]

Mariglenn and Peter were married on a steamy August day at Covenant Presbyterian Church.  Her smile speaks volumes about the tone of the day… just excitement.  They were very obviously so excited to be together forever from this day on.  It was a pleasure to be a part of!  From Mariglenn’s prep at her aunt’s […]

I really love my job.  I am finally going back and playing catch-up on the last year’s worth of weddings and smiling all the way. This beautiful day for Gordon and Leigh was at Trinity United Methodist, where I spend quite a few wedding Saturdays! One of my favorite things about looking through the viewfinder […]
