Coral and Bartley are amazing–they were completely prepared for their engagement session, and hit the ground running! Between their dapper ensembles and the sweet locations we were able to get into, this session was completely dreamy. Both of our locations are historic landmarks in Huntsville, and we were 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 — you might remember it from Mary Lee’s bridal session! We’re quite lucky that Ashley has a bit of a connection with the owners of the hotel, which is how we are able to get in to shoot. After wrapping up there, we moved further into the heart of Huntsville Proper and shot at The Weeden House Museum.

The Weeden House is a fascinating bit of Huntsville that we hadn’t visited for a session before — it was built in 1819, and after going through several years of being a residential home, it is now owned by the city of Huntsville. The Weeden house serves as an illustration of American family life in the 1840′s — and also shares the life of poet and watercolorist, Maria Howard Weeden.

This session made my (Ashley) historic building lovin’ heart happy and the smile never left my face as I snapped away like a kid in the candy store! Thanks to both venues for letting us pop in for the session!
