Clare & Adam | Stately Mansion Wedding

Clare & Adam had the sweetest day last spring. Their classic love was beautifully celebrated at Fountainview Mansion's stunning grounds. It was the perfect combination of sacred, timeless and effortless. Clare & Adam chose details that enhanced the natural beauty of the spring surroundings. Their first look was one of the sweetest I've been privileged to witness. Plus, they had a cute audience watching from the mansions windows. Thank you for letting me be a part of this day you two!

Susan & Nick | Elegant Birmingham Wedding

Susan and Nick are a special couple and their day was no exception. The whole atmosphere felt so warm, joyous and welcoming. Their families celebrated in such a generous, sweet way. It was nothing short of incredible to be a part of. Nick and Susan had been sweethearts since high school and after many years of long distance in college decided to be together forever. Susan's mom helped create the stunning florals for the day, her sister Elizabeth did the calligraphy for the invitations and her twin sister Catherine made their wedding logo for the reception. From the details to the flow of the day, it was infused with love from family and friends. These images are just a taste of how happy and giddy these two were the whole day. I wish you both a lifetime of joy!

Haley & Josh | Birmingham Engagement

One of the major perks of my job is having the honor of photographing my family's special moments. My sweet cousin Haley and I have always been very close, so it is such a privilege to document this season as she enters into marriage with her soon-to-be husband Josh. I love that they chose to do the session on Josh's family land. It makes it all the sweeter to know these memories have roots, like the beautiful fall trees, deeper than mere pretty.

Alex & Matt | Alys Beach Destination Photographer

There is something so incredibly romantic about doing an engagement session the day before your wedding. I'm so glad I was able to sneak away to Alys Beach with Alex and Matt for a few moments before their rehearsal dinner. The days before a destination wedding is so full with friends and family coming in to celebrate, so it's nice to get away for some moments alone in the midst of festivities. It's easy to see the eager anticipation these two share about tying the knot! Thank you for allowing me to capture your love, you two!

The Silence Between | Colorado Editorial No. 1

The Silence Between | Colorado Editorial No. 1

It is such an honor to have this shoot on Style Me Pretty's front page today. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time now. Mozart once said, "Music is not the notes, but the silence between." In a way, images are the silence between moments as well. Throughout this whole editorial, I sought to encapsulate that idea, the beautiful dichotomy between movement and stillness. Colorado seemed a natural and ideal location. Nature itself is a perfect contrast between grandeur and simplicity. It is the the ultimate in-between. It is not too much of one or the other. These ideas were the basis for this shoot. The objective was to create grandness in the simplest way possible, and to express the mystery of "the silence between" in a pensive manner.
