It was a busy fall.  If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen glimpses of it.  But it’s high time I got some of these beautiful weddings on the blog to share with all of you! Today’s is the beautiful Camille and Jonathon. It was a very non-traditional wedding at Tannehill State Park.  I love […]

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.  […]

A few months ago I got to spend time with a wonderful family!  The mama of the bunch is practically family.  I can still remember listening to her laugh when she was the age of her daughters (and trying to determine if she was laughing or crying.  They were very similar, very passionate sounds.)  She […]

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 […]

What do we do at a lifestyle session?  We play.  We laugh.  We snuggle.  We just do what you do. What pictures do you want of your children?  I want real.  I want their everyday expressions and pastimes.  Look how beautiful it can be…

Last summer I was reminded why I got into this crazy photography career.  It was because of the relationships, emotions and moments I saw I could capture forever.  As I watch my beautiful daughters grow, it’s bittersweet because I know the moment I’m enjoying will soon be gone forever.  But, through my camera, I can […]

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, […]

One time I drove to a house to shoot the engagement session of a couple I had never met.  As I arrived I got very nervous… there were so many “what-ifs” in my head.  But as Mike opened the door and we chatted and then his beautiful fiance appeared, I relaxed.  We snuggled their cat […]

My baby sister got married on Saturday.  What a weird feeling!  The baby.  When she was little little we would say “Grace, why are you so cute?” and she would say “Because God made me cute.”  And now she’s honeymooning in Mexico.  Fleeting moments. I haven’t figured out how to be a bridesmaid AND a […]
