Kellie and Justin tied the knot at Lyla’s Dance Hall in a quaint postage-stamp sized town in Alabama called Mooresville. Filled with breathtaking historic homes and gardens, the town is incredibly picturesque! Complete with whimsical floral arrangements among the vintage setting, Lyla’s Dance Hall was a perfect backdrop to highlight the couples’ details. Little things made the entire day delightful…like ...
If ever there were to be a sweet Southern celebration of love, this is it! MarLa and Sager’s historic Mooresville wedding was right out of a movie! Thankfully, Dustin and I were able to capture their love story through both video and still images. Matt (the WRS DJ) was also part of their day, spinning their favorite tunes on vinyl. ...
To say it was an honor to photograph Nick and Carla’s elopement would be an understatement. I was secretly hired by family members a few weeks before the Big Day. I have to admit, it was hard keeping it a secret from Carla…I just wanted to squeal with delight and hug her so tight when I first heard of their ...
I left my first visit to Finery wishing I could get married all over again. Madeline has created a lovely boutique in downtown Huntsville for brides to fall in love with their dream dress. She has romantic and eloquent taste, with a dash of modern and a sprinkle of vintage charm all wrapped up with a fancy bow horseshoe! I ...
Earlier this year I received an exciting phone call from Southern Bride magazine! I almost couldn’t believe my ears when they asked if I would be interested in photographing the fashion spread for their next issue (now on stands)! For a few days in July, my husband (yay for my second shooter being the love of my life) and I ...
Last year I was lucky enough to help shoot the Holiday issue of Stitch Craft Create Magazine. As you can imagine, I got bit by the crafting bug! I’m always so impressed with the creative ideas people dream up! This year I had the most wonderful time photographing their Winter issue, filled with wonderful details for Valentine’s Day! I was ...
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 ...
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! ...
Marcus and Whitney’s wedding day was nothing short of magical! Surrounded by their family and friends, the two love birds tied quite the beautiful knot! The entire shindig was full of swoons, laughter, and love! Knowing that Whitney did most of the details herself (with help from her friends) made it all that much more personal. One of my favorite ...
Hello friends! I’m thrilled to share with you the gorgeous wedding of Eva and Neil! The romance started years ago, when Eva’s grandparents were married on the front porch of their home in a tiny town in Alabama. Fast forward a generation and it’s the same spot Eva’s mother and father tied the knot, which eventually brings us to the ...
I couldn’t stop my heart from fluttering on the drive home from Michael and Elizabeth’s Sonnet House wedding. Everything was so incredibly magical! Gorgeous candy colored dresses, whimsical flowers, adorable DIY elements, beautiful sunshine, huge smiles, and radiating love are just a handful of things that made the day so full of photo ops. Working alongside two of my best ...
It was a beautiful Summer day as the sun peeked through the clouds at Anna Bella. A small rain shower moved through as if to offer a bit a relief from the Alabama heat. As the ceremony time neared, the skies cleared and a breeze welcomed Luciana down the aisle to her soon-to-be husband, Kyle. It was a special treat ...
Chris and Gaylyn are incredible souls! I’ve had the pleasure of acting along side both of them during several different Crash Boom Bang Theater plays/skits. Since we haven’t been on stage together in a while, it’s wonderful getting to spend time with them! Gaylyn’s mom owns The Yurt Garden, a serene getaway tucked in a cove between mountains. Wanting to ...
Of all the times I’ve been to Tuscaloosa, I had no idea about Capitol Park. It’s a gorgeous setting with the old ruins from the former Alabama capitol. The historic stones and mason work that remain now have patches of fresh green grass all around them. It’s a lovely combination of elegance and rustic beauty, and made for the perfect ...
Rebekah and Brent’s beautiful wedding took place at The Rucker Place in Birmingham, Alabama. I adore this historic building and love how wonderfully it transforms into a gorgeous venue. From the lovely lavandar and grey color palette to the whimsical floral arrangements to the incredible cakes, Rebekah and Brent’s wedding combined classic elements with personal touches. It was incredible to ...
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 ...
Continuing the wonderful weekend that celebrated Case and Lindsay, here is their fabulous wedding! Andy and I woke from our slumber in our private cabin (more on that in the behind the scenes post) to find a gorgeous breakfast spread complete with a mimosa bar in the main lodge. After a delicious serving of food, friends and family started helping ...
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 ...
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 and Mike are beyond precious (as you may remember from their Olde Towne engagement)! Their smiles, giggles, and fish face kisses were plentiful on their gorgeous wedding day! From the DIY details crafted by fantastic etsy artists (including Huntsville’s own Daisy Brains, who created the most gorgeous felt bouquets I’ve ever seen!) Surrounded by their friends and family, Jackie ...
Holly and Marty’s wedding was nothing short of extraordinary! I have known Holly since the late nineties, when LiveJournal was the biggest thing to hit the internet. Our friendship blossomed through 1s and 0s and I’ll never forget the first time we met in person. It was at a show in Madison, and I remember being a bit nervous (meeting ...
An English rose falls in love with a Southern cotton bloom and a wonderful story unfolds. Olly is the Rose, and Katherine is the cotton, and together they are an incredible force bursting with love. I spent the entire day with these two. From the early moments of getting dressed, to the lovely ceremony (that I couldn’t capture with my ...
This wedding is near and dear to my heart for several reasons. The beautiful celebration took place at Lowe Mill, where not only White Rabbit Studios is located, but also the record store my husband and I own. To say this building is home away from home is an understatement. I work and play on these grounds, as do Matt ...
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 ...
Everything about Mary and Jonathan’s wedding was breathtaking! From the stunning interior of the Historic Rucker Place, to the ethereal flowers, to the classy bride and groom – I was like a kid in a candy store shooting this wedding! Mary and Jonathan worked with some of my favorite vendors to help their wedding visions come to life. Rachel, of ...
Jaime and Stephen’s Big Canoe rustic and romantic wedding is nothing short of magical! The gorgeous Georgia mountains are a picture perfect backdrop, even when an evening shower rolls in over the lake – right as everyone sat for dinner. From the fresh herb bouquets and centerpieces, to the tables named after various plants, Jaime and Stephen’s love for gardening ...
Anna and Ben both have extremely uplifting personalities (as you can recall from their e-session photos), which made for a wedding day full of huge smiles and lots of laughter. Their ceremony took place in their church, and the reception was held at one of our FAVORITE places to shoot – The Lumberyard. If you’re looking for an eclectic and ...
Steven and Savannah’s sunset ceremony started with romantic details and swooning shots, and by the end of the night we had a collection of awesome images from the wild dance party and rowdy Looking Glass. We customized their Looking Glass backdrop based on their record store engagement photos, and provided plenty of fun props to encourage the silliness…be sure to ...
Sheena and Michael had a very intimate wedding at the chapel on Green Mountain. I wasn’t even aware you could get married there but it was absolutely magical! With a morning ceremony, and an afternoon picnic it was a perfect celebration of love! I swooned over everything from the GORGEOUS rainbow-colored roses (how amazing are they?!) to the perfect happiness ...
Anthropologie, eat your heart out! Have you heard of Huntsville’s newest and cutest shop, The Switch House? It’s basically the most perfect place in the city. Imagine walking in Etsy in REAL LIFE, and then you might get close to what The Switch House is like. To top it off, everything is local and organically made. From candles, to bath ...
Rebecca and Kreg had an absolutely stunning wedding on October 31 at The Sonnet House in Leeds, Alabama. It was my first time visiting this venue, (and my first time working with the totally awesome and brilliant style and design team at
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 ...
As Billy Idol’s voice echoed through the trees that night exactly one month ago I smiled at what we were lucky enough to witness…and capture. I thought to myself “it was a nice day for a White(/Davis) wedding.” Anyone who was atop Burritt Mountain that day saw the magic of Katie and Billy‘s wedding. Two souls coming together surrounded by ...
