When Stacy proposed the idea of shooting at the Mountaintop Flea Market and at Zach’s Grandmother’s barn, we were thrilled! We’re both avid flea market fans, 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 — you could still see remnants of their younger years there.

Everything from the bright yellow brick buildings to the gorgeous sun streaming through the barn was perfect. The contagious smiles, good humor and love these share made this session a breeze!

I wished on the stars
To throw me a beam or two
I begged on the stars
And asked for a dream or two
I looked for every loveliness
It all came true
I wished on the moon for you

Brandy searched for Billie Holiday’s version of “I Wished on the Moon” for months in hopes to play it as she walked down the aisle. The week of the wedding, she won a 78 copy of the song on ebay. Talk about meant to be! The romantic song echoed among the trees of their intimate, nighttime, backyard wedding as Brandy and Michael tied the knot. After a short and sweet ceremony, yummy food, delicious cake, humorous and tearful toasts, the guests enjoyed an evening of dancing under the stars with Christabel and the Jons (a swanky swing group from Tennessee).

Michael and Brandy had a vision for their wedding since day one. In love with the 30s, Brandy requested the wedding photos to be processed with a vintage, sepia tone. To keep the nostalgia from the night, we wanted to include the song that inspired the wedding. Push play while you scroll through and re-live their starlit soiree!

While we love the romantic vibe from the sepia images, we can’t help but show you some of the lovely color that poured from the details!

So, after getting our tattoos, we met up with Tyler and Matthew for their engagement session! Tyler and Caroline are actually real-life BFFs, so it was fun to see both of them in the same day!

We LOVE 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 we’re giddy with anticipation for what we’re 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 was pretty cold, we took a coffee-tea-and-Scrabble break at Olde Towne Coffee Shoppe. We ended at one of our fave (and soon to be closing! Sad face.) local book shops, Five Point Books. It was really a fun session, especially since Tyler, Ashley and I have become blogging buddies, and we were excited to move our online fun into real life fun!

Rebecca and Kreg had an absolutely sweeping wedding on October 31 at The Sonnet House in Leeds, Alabama. It was our first time visiting this venue, (and our first time working with the totally awesome and brilliant style and design team at Proper Measures*!). We loved all of the elements — everything from wonderful fall decor (dare we say wonderFALL?! ;D), the dessert bar, and the attention to unique details was stunning. The gorgeous sunset wedding was followed by delicious food, plenty of dancing, photo booth action, s’mores by an open fire, and a romantic ride off in a vintage car!

*We’re also stoked that Proper Measures will be joining us as a vendor at our Wedding Fair (coming up in January!)

Chrissy and Shay were married in October, and had an awesomely beautiful outdoor wedding & indoor reception at Cherokee Ridge in Union Grove, Alabama. Everything from the weather to the infectious joy of the ADORABLE flower girl and ring bearer (scroll down to see those two literally running up the aisle!) was completely incredible.
