Molly and Pat are 100% joy and laughter, and their wedding day was the epitome of happiness. Thoughtful touches abounded, like Molly’s godfather presiding over their ceremony, and Molly wearing a reconstruction of her mother’s wedding dress.

Last November, just about one year before their wedding, I had the joy of meeting up with Pate and Parker for a fall engagement session. It was peak leaf color in Birmingham – bright yellows and oranges surrounded us as we explored some favorite spots around Highland Park, then went over to General in Forest Park for warm cups of coffee. It was the coziest afternoon!

Mary Katherine and Will’s engagement session included intentional details, like meaningful locations and the outfits they wore on their first date together.

A Battle-Friedman House wedding in Tuscaloosa perfectly fit Lauren and John’s vision of an early summer garden party on the grounds of a historic home.

Julia and David waited until the first signs of spring for their Birmingham Botanical Gardens engagement session. They wanted green grass, leaves on trees, and flowers! The gardens in April provided the perfect backdrop for a lush, spring-like engagement session.

Madison and William’s Fountainview Mansion wedding in Auburn provided the perfect setting for celebrating their marriage. The two met as college students at Auburn. They planned a weekend of celebrations that reunited family and friends in a town that held special meaning to everyone!

Last summer, I met up with Hailey and Parker near for their engagement session at SpringHouse. Traversing the rolling hills around the property as the sun began to set was the perfect activity for their engagement session!

Julia and David’s St. Paul’s Cathedral Wedding drew inspiration from an iconic bride: Grace Kelly. The wedding was all things timeless, elegant, and regal.

Sadie and Hunter’s wedding planning process started with the most thoughtful detail of all: their wedding date was Sadie’s grandparents’ anniversary. It was a choice that honored a family legacy while acknowledging a simple fact — they have people in their lives who have modeled love and marriage in a way that’s shaped them for the better.

Let’s set the scene: A gorgeous early spring Saturday, the refined beauty of the Country Club of Birmingham, a buzz of anticipation in the air as family and friends gathered, and a happy couple thrilled to celebrate the start of their marriage.
