Rachel & Carl: Canoeing Adventure Engagement Session
The grey skies overhead and sporadic rain drops only added to the element of Rachel and Carl’s canoeing engagement session. The chilly breeze was more of an excuse for them to cuddle under a blanket or snuggle into each others arms. The mood was just perfect! Dustin, the WRS videographer extraordinaire was along for the ride to capture the sweet ...
-
Christina & Matt Engagement: Cookies & Cuddles
Christina loves to cook for Matt, so I thought it would be fun if they baked cookies during their engagement session! Since they both live out of town and were only here over the Christmas weekend to visit, we had to do the baking at my house. Leftover cookies?! Yes please – job perks! After decorating the heart shaped sugar ...
-
Tina & Joe: Epic Waterfall Engagement
Tina and Joe are planning on tying the knot on Joe’s family land. When we first met and started talking about the area, they mentioned a lovely waterfall, but that there were lots of trees that needed clearing in order to view it properly. Thankfully, that’s what Joe’s family does great! They have been working on hard on cleaning up ...

Mary & Dustin: Bottletree Cafe Engagement
I must say that this is probably a record for me, blogging wise. Andy and I traveled to Birmingham on Monday to meet Mary and Drew for their engagement session – here it is Friday and voila! You’ll see though that this session is right up my alley so it’s no wonder I wanted to get it out there asap! ...

Whitney & Kevin: Rainbow Mountain Romance
The last time I was atop Rainbow Mountain was high school. For cross country, we had to run up to the giant, looming water tower that marked the entrance of the trails once a week. Usually breathless and tired when I finally arrived at the summit, the last thing I wanted to do was hike trails…so Rainbow Mountain remained a ...
-
MarLa & Sager: Epic Engagement & Save the Date Video!
I was beyond thrilled when I first met with MarLa and Sager! It was one of those meetings where I crossed my fingers immediately after hugging them goodbye in hopes I would see them again.

Wanting to ...

Philipp & Holley: At-Home Cooking Engagement
I adore when couples choose to have their engagement sessions in meaningful places. Holley and Philipp had a great idea to celebrate their love at home and with their adorable son, Luca! In between prepping and cooking dinner as a family, there were plenty of cuddles to go around during a quick story time. To compliment their home made spaghetti ...
-
Tara & Tyler: Mountaintop Engagement
Tara and Tyler are the cutest! The first part of their lovely engagement session had me giggling with them in the aisles of Booklegger. These two make for the most adorable bookworms, don’t you agree? After swooning in the romance section, we all made our way to Monte Sano Mountain. With such incredible weather and Tara and Tyler’s natural love ...
-
Luciana & Kyle: Springtime Engagement
The day started out a dreary, raining mess with no end in sight. After deciding to postpone the session, it was as if those were the magic words that made the clouds part. By mid afternoon the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the puddles had cleared. Luciana and I both knew this day was now too perfect ...
-
Jackie & Mike: Five Points Engagement
We spend a cloudy, chilly afternoon with Jackie and Mike, capturing their “coffee” engagement. With all of the cuddling, kissing, and laughing these two kept our hearts warm while we photographed their adoration for each other. We started at one of our favorite local spots, Olde Towne Coffee Shoppe, and wrapped up at another hot spot, the Kaffeeklatch…all the while ...
-
Aundrea & Alex: Camping Engagement
Aundrea and Alex met years ago while at Camp Neyati. Wanting to harness their love for each other, the outdoors, and to play homage to their “meetin’ grounds” I shot their engagement session at the camp. I adore the fact they have such a unique and personal spot that holds such strong memories. The smell of the pine trees, the ...
-
Chris & Austin: ColorFALL Engagement
Even though there was a sharp chill in the air on this particular afternoon, the overcast skies let the trees take center stage. Fall is undoubtedly one of our favorite seasons, and it’s not just because of the brilliantly colored foliage…although they were a fabulous backdrop for Chris and Austin’s downtown engagement. Chris proposed to Austin on a bench overlooking ...

We spent the afternoon with Ame and Vijay atop one of our favorite mountains, Monte Sano, to capture their engagement!

Katherine & Olly: Sunflower Summer Engagement Party
While it’s always refreshing to feel Fall creeping in, it’s hard to say goodbye to Summer.

Joy and Brian are very romantically getting married in Hawai’i later this year.

Mary & Jonathan: Strawberry Fields (Forever) Engagement
Mary and Jonathan’s engagement session took place in the previously-unexplored (by us) fields at Brown’s Berry Patch!

Mary and Jonathan were given an amazing Victrola as an engagement gift from their family, so they brought it along. ...
-
Stacy & Zach: Flea Market Fun
When Stacy proposed the idea of shooting at the Mountaintop Flea Market and at Zach’s Grandmother’s barn, I was thrilled! I’m a huge flea market fan, and loved the idea of shooting at the barn for all of the historical significance to Zach’s family. One of the rooms in the barn was his dad and uncle’s old hang-out spot — ...
-
Jennifer & Anthony: Ditto Landing Engagement
Jennifer and Anthony are the cutest! From their bashful flirting on the bridge, to their cuddles under the willow tree, these two are made for each other. I had a wonderful time capturing the love birds at Ditto Landing, it was a new adventure shooting there and I was thrilled to have such smiley souls!
-
Anna & Ben: Monte Sano Engagement
Anna and Ben are one of the sweetest, happiest couples! Even with the winds whipping wildly, these two floated like leaves! Anna was laughing like a champ when the winds took her hair for a wild ride! These two have a natural chemistry and excitement that’s contagious — my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much!
-
Steve & Savannah: Record Store Engagement
Steve and Savannah’s engagement session had a nice combination of some of my favorites elements: music, pets, and love! We started at Vertical House Records before dodging cars and jumping fences to a nice spot by the willow trees in the Jones Valley area. Steve and Savannah wanted to include their dog, and with such a cute bow-tie how could ...
-
Tyler & Matthew: Book Store & Coffee House Engagement
I adore Tyler and Matthew (or Maffew, as she affectionately calls him both in real life and on her blog)! These two are getting married next April, and I’m giddy with anticipation for what I’m sure will be a unique and super quirky festival of love. We started the session on Monte Sano early in the morning, and since it ...
-
Ashley & Steve: Jazz-y Engagement
It’s obvious that these two are totally in love and mad for each other.

This is one seriously musically talented couple, as I found out firsthand when they performed a mini-concert for the camera! We also ...
-
Coral & Bartley: Vintage Engagement
Coral and Bartley are amazing! Between their dapper ensembles and the dramatic backdrops, their engagement session was completely dreamy. Both of the locations are historic landmarks in Huntsville, and I was so excited at the opportunity to showcase Coral and Bartley’s love! We began at the historic Russel Erskine Hotel (now an apartment complex) in Huntsville and then moved further ...
-
Amanda & Daniel: Travel Inspired Engagement
Amanda and Daniel recently got engaged while on a study abroad trip in Italy — how romantic is that?! These two have traveled over most of Western Europe, and returned home to Huntsville over Christmas break. They’ll be back at school in a few days, so I’m glad they asked me to capture this special time in their lives! The session ...
