Hello & Goodbye

Hello & Goodbye

I said goodbye to the job I have loved for over 5 years now. I shot my last wedding I have on the books this past Saturday, for a while at least. For the sake of laying out there, I still get plenty of inquiries and everything looks amazing - but to every single one God has said no. There is no explanation. Only a closed door. It feels scary to type this out because I still have hopes that I'll do some here and there. I have LOVED loved LOVED every minute, and feel so overwhelmingly thankful for the privilege God has given me over these years. Never in a million years did I see myself becoming a wedding photographer. It has been such sweet years of growth, learning how to find my feet as a business owner and wife, then minister's wife, mama, etc...It was just when I felt totally confident in my system, workflow and had been doing it long enough to feel so comfortable with my clients. I enjoyed the knowledge and experience and utilizing it to anticipate their needs. It truly brought me joy to serve however I could on these special, monumental days. Every single wedding has a special place in my heart. Every one was a true joy and honor. I cannot thank God enough for giving me this work, using it to grow my faith, to draw me closer to Him and bring such incredible people into my life. So many sweet friendships have been made and and beautiful places visited. It filled my soul. His gifts are good.

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!

Dawn & Ryan | Rosemary Beach Wedding Photographer

It's hard to imagine a setting more perfect for this sweet, relaxed couple. We spent the final hour on the coast enjoying the warm light and beautiful views of Rosemary Beach. Dawn was an expert planner and somehow managed to compliment their surroundings perfectly with their breezy looks. These two are so natural together, like the ocean waves and the soft sand. I am looking forward to their 30a seaside wedding late this Summer!

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!
