Christie & Matt’s Engagements {Birmingham, AL}

Christie and Matt are another fabulous MSU couple! They drove over to Birmingham for their engagement session a few weeks back and thankfully, we ended up with a fabulously beautiful day! The day before had rained cats and dogs – so we were a little nervous that the storm would hang around longer than we watned. As you can see, it was an abundantly sunshiney day! We’re definitely looking forward to being at their wedding in August, and of course, having another little trip to Starkville. In the meantime, Go State! ; )

Thanks for making the trip over you two! Y’all are adorable together!

Anna’s Bridals {Luckett Lodge | Flowood, MS}

Anna’s Bridals! If I weren’t so happy that Anna and Stephen are now joyfully married, I might be a little sad that we’re finished with our photo sessions together. Okay, I might be a little sad anyway… : ) We loved working with Anna and Stephen and getting to know them through our numerous pre-wedding sessions and of course their sweet wedding day. We were able to work in Anna’s bridals at Luckett Lodge (where their reception was held) one weekend while I was home in Jackson. The interesting part was that my brother’s wedding had just been held at LL the day before! It’s such a lovely setting and I loved both of our days spent there that weekend. Congrats Anna on being a wife and I hope you and Stephen are falling more in love each day!

Lauren & Brad’s Wedding {American Village | Montevallo, AL}

On the day of Brad and Lauren’s wedding… it rained… and poured. Then it rained some more. THANKFULLY about 15 minutes before Brett and I arrived at American Village, the sun came out!! Everyone was more than thankful for the clouds parting, especially the photographer : )  One thing that was rather different about this wedding was that Brett was the Best Man! That made our photo schedule quite a bit different than usual. We were extra prepared for the day and I was able to get a Samford student to come help me out for their wedding! Nick did a great job and captured some excellent moments throughout the afternoon. Another great help during the day was having the Marie Ami team there (thanks Neillie and Louise!). They were ON TOP of the day for sure. Props to Brett too for pulling triple duty, best man, third camera guy, and husband to the photographer – which is always a challenge in itself.

The details throughout the day were fabulous and the flowers were beautiful everywhere you looked. I think my favorite detail was the “snow” that they threw at their leave. It just looks so fun!

Brad and Lauren, thanks for letting me photograph your special wedding day : ) I had such a hard time choosing what photos to put up… but hopefully this will provide a peek at all of the fun that was had!!

Kelly’s Bridals {Oak Island, Wilsonville, AL}

An awesome bride, a super-great location, and a terribly rainy day produced some fabulous photos from our session with Kelly. I wrote this blog over a week ago and set it to release at the time of Kelly and Whit’s wedding ceremony. I’m so excited for you two! You’re about to say your vows in just a few minutes!

Kelly has to be one of the most laid back people ever. All of our interactions have been wonderful and during our session, she was willing to do anything… I mean, really… anything. We took her all over the place and just enjoyed the scenery (between rain showers).  We had a great time shooting at Oak Island, a new wedding and event venue right outside of the Birmingham area. The owners were gracious enough to let us use their ahhh-mazing area for our shoot with Kelly and I’m pretty sure I could have stayed for days just taking in all of their awesome location!

Can’t wait to share some of the sweet photos from Kelly and Whit’s wedding day. : )

Lisa & Brandon {Birmingham Engagement Session}

Once upon an afternoon, back in the days of 7th grade – I met Lisa in the car line at school. So, we’ve known one another for a good 12 years or so. That’s half of my life?! Crazy. Well, we were instant friends because I didn’t have to look down to talk to her. We’re both 5’10″ and have been… since at least 7th grade. I’m sure our first conversation started something like, “Well, where do YOU get your jeans?.” Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then and both have rejoiced in the fact that boys do eventually grow.

Lisa and Brandon met through… drum roll please… a dating website!! I have known several great couples that have met (and eventually married) after being introduced through the world wide web. He was actually the first (and last) person she talked to on the site, so I’d say her match was pretty accurate. The best thing about their story is that Brandon lived just down the road. Literally. They’ve been 20 minutes apart for a few years now and even had mutual friends. God knows what He’s doing…

Since we’re in Birmingham, their engagement session was the first time I got to meet Lisa’s future hubby and I must say, they go quite well together. He kept her laughing and seemed to compliment her in the best ways. I LOVE when couples make each other laugh through our whole session. They were even willing to stick around through the dark and experiment with us and some different lighting.

Thanks for coming to Bham y’all! Looking forward to March : )
