Brooke & Nick felt more like friends than clients by the time I shot their wedding! We worked together for their engagement session and also for Brooke’s bridal session. During their engagement session, Nick kept me laughing the entire time.. this guy is a mess! Their wedding took place at the beautiful Hermitage Rippy estate on a warm, May day. We lucked out and had a beautiful, sunny day without any rain! They said their vows under the oak trees and then danced the night away until it was time for their sparkler exit! Here’s a few highlights from their day.

Teresa & Justin’s warm, sunny wedding day was held at the Coastal Arts Center in Orange Beach. Teresa reminded me of my wedding because we both left out some of the normal traditions for a more enjoyable experience.

Mitzi & Eric’s was held at the Gulf Quest Museum in downtown Mobile. I was so excited to work with Mitzi from the moment I met her at the consultation because she has a beautiful, kind spirit and air to her! When I arrived, she had thoughtfully set up all her bridal details and hung her dress up! You could definitely tell she’s the daughter of a fellow wedding photographer, haha. True to Mobile, the rain came right before her ceremony but luckily she had a indoor venue option so it all worked out beautifully! Here’s a few of my favorite from their day!

What. A. Fun. Wedding!

Ali & Mike’s wedding was unlike any wedding I’ve shot. I knew from the moment I walked into the bridal suite that it was going to be a great day as the girls were already in a conga line! Their wedding took place under the beautiful oaks at Compass Point in New Orleans. Ali made sure that her wedding was authentic and fun by incorporating things like a lottery ticket bouquet for the bouquet toss and her grandma’s were flower girls!

Working with Cecile & An was one the most memorable moments of my career so far! On top of them being madly in love, awesome people… they had one of the most unique weddings I’ve ever seen! You may have remembered them from their cemetery engagement session that went low key viral and was published by Green Wedding Shoes! 

From the moment I met Amanda & Seth, I knew they would be a great couple to work with. There’s a few things that I envision when I think about working my my “exactly type” of couple. They’re madly in love, relaxed, fun loving people.. and that’s exactly Amanda & Seth! You can see from their portraits that they were naturals in front of the camera with such beautiful chemistry!

Paige & Jeremy’s wedding took place in the picturesque Fairhope, Alabama on an almost rainy day in April. I don’t know what I love the most about Paige & Jeremy’s wedding day. I’m torn between their dog Cooper, her blue veil, the impromptu ice cream trip, and their surprise father daughter dance! Whatever you do… please look at the smile on their dog’s face during portraits.

High school sweethearts Hailey & Clayton chose downtown Fairhope and the pier for the backdrop of their engagement session. I could not have asked for a better couple to spend the afternoon with! They really embraced having fun during the session and were game to try all of my suggestions which really made for beautiful, natural portraits!

I spent the afternoon with Maritza & Grant (and their sweet pup Shade!) in picturesque Magnolia Springs and I couldn’t wait to share a few pictures from their engagement session! Their wedding is on NYE and I couldn’t ask for a better couple to ring in the New Year with.

As much as I enjoyed the calm off season, I was ready to jump back into the busy chaos of all these upcoming Spring and Summer weddings! Kristen & Cameron’s at The Abby Rose was the perfect way to begin this season. Rain was in the forecast but the ominous clouds skirted past us and we had a beautiful day and FUN night!
