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.

We gathered before sunrise at the Omni Amelia Island Resort to photograph a beautiful couple (who are clearly in love!), lounging by the pool and meandering onto the beach.

Picture a perfect Friday afternoon in October. A slight breeze is in the air. Warm sunlight spills through the trees. And a couple deeply in love, eager to take photos together to celebrate their engagement.

The perfect blend of small and celebratory, Anna Kate and Brandon’s intimate wedding at The Farrell catered to each one’s personality perfectly.

It was a perfect fall evening. Friends and family had gathered from all over the country to begin weekend of wedding celebrations, and the bride and groom wished to host them at one of Birmingham’s most iconic landmarks: The Alabama Theatre

The vision for Liz and Paul’s wedding was “Nancy Meyers Dinner Party”. That vision was made a reality with thoughtful details!

Photos in special places have an extra layer of sentimentality to them. The Northcutt family has rented the same beach house on 30A every summer for years – a tradition that’s become as certain for them as the sunrise. They wanted their most recent trip documented with photos together. 

Caroline and Hank had a beautifully classic Mountain Brook Baptist Church Wedding, followed by a lively reception at The Farrell in Homewood. Like most of the couples I have the joy of working with, their wedding day was centered around celebrating with their family and closest friends.

When you’re deciding how to choose a wedding photographer, how do you know what’s best for you? I’ve spent years walking through the decision-making process with dozens of couples. Read on for helpful suggestions!

I first met Emily and Brett for photos of just the two of them, and now their family has grown! We documented the milestone with newborn photos in their home.
