Missy and Cody were recently married, and I’m so pleased so share some photos of their special day!  I think the photos speak for themselves… Missy was a beautiful bride, Cody was a handsome groom, Grandview on Lookout Mountain in Tennessee was such a perfect location and the day was amazing!

And check out the bridesmaids’ super cute accessories!

Missy and Cody, your wedding day was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph what I hope is one of your most cherised memories.  I wish you two a lifetime of happiness together!

Thanks again to Stefani for coming all the way from South Carolina to second shoot with me!

My cousin Miranda recently wed down by the Gulf!  I enjoyed being a guest at the wedding, but of course I snapped a few of the family and the ceremony.  I couldn’t resist!  Here’s just a couple that I wanted to share with you guys.  Congratulations, Miranda!

Maigan and Marcus were married recently at the United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham’s LINCPoint in Homewood, AL.  Maigan is originally from Oregon, but both she and her husband now live in Atlanta!

They were blessed with a beautiful day and great weather, and were surrounded by lots of family and friends.  Speaking of friends… how much do you love those slightly-mismatched bridesmaid dresses?!  They were such a great touch, and looked beautiful all together.

FlowerStems provided the floral arrangements, and they were beautiful, as always!  Maigan and Marcus, thanks so much for inviting me to share your special day with you!  I wish you all the love in the world.

This latest post is dedicated to Brandi and Chris and their incredible wedding!  They were blessed with such beautiful weather, and it really helped give their special day that extra oomph!

We shot photos at a bed and breakfast, an old wedding chapel from the 1800s and an old farm, all out in the Colombiana area.  All in all, it was an amazing day, and I’m so happy I could capture it for these two!  Brandi and Chris, congratulations!  I wish you all the love and happiness your hearts can hold, and then some.

Amber and Jason (who goes by Baines) were recently married!  They were wed in Decatur, Alabama a few weeks back on an especially chilly day… brrr!  The brisk weather didn’t interfere too much, though, and they had a beautiful day together spent with family and friends surrounding them.

These two are originally from Hawaii… how cool is that?!  Because of this, their family and friends flew in from all over the place, and it really made the day that much more special for all involved.  After their ceremony, the reception was held at an intimate restaurant called Curry’s.  It was perfect!

For the couple-y shots, we meandered all over the city to find different locations and cool places to shoot, and I’d say we were pretty successful!  In addition, Amber’s wedding day attire was impeccable: a handmade birdcage veil, button bouquets, purple flowers… and a dress with POCKETS!  She totally rocks for that, and looked beautiful all day.  Baines looked particularly handsome as well, I really loved his tie.

Amber and Baines… thank you so much for the opportunity to spend the day with you on one of the most important days in both of your lives.  I had a blast with you, you’re such a fun and loving couple!  I had a wonderful time shooting your wedding, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Coverage is really booming around here!  She Just Got Married has done a feature on Once In Every Life, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.  I’m so pleased that not only were wedding shots featured, but lifestyle shots and even a still from my recent shoot with The Hillywood Show in Forks, Washington!

My best friend and fellow photographer Kricia Morris invited me to come along and shoot April and Jeff’s gorgeous wedding and day-after session.  How could I say no?!

Don’t April and Jeff make a gorgeous couple?!  The beauty of those two paired with the gorgeous setting definitely made this a wedding to remember.  I really admired their bold choices of color because it all went perfectly with the feel of their wedding.

Thanks to Kricia, April and Jeff for having me out for this awesome wedding!  If you’d like to see more pictures, please visit Kricia’s blog post here.  Kricia has moved out to Hawaii… I’m totally waiting on my invitation to come out and second shoot!  Miss you!

Erin and Daniel recently tied the knot in Trussville.  I had such a good time shooting their big day!

Erin made quite the glowing bride, and Daniel the handsome groom.  What I really loved was the simplicity of their wedding bands.  Very chic and classic!

Erin and Daniel, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your special day!  Another thank you goes out to Stefani from Lost in the Moment Photo for coming out to shoot with me!

Kristen and Ryan were married this past fall at Gulf Shores in an AMAZING clubhouse.

This couple has two adorable little girls together.  The girls are so cute, they are definitely the light in their mommy and daddy’s eyes.  Aren’t they just precious?!

Doesn’t Kristen make a gorgeous bride?  Also, her flowers were done by a family member… so talented!

Kristen and Ryan are quite the loving couple.  They are both so fun and even threw an amazing party for their family and friends after the ceremony.  Thank you to both of you for choosing me to capture your day, I had a blast!  Another thank you goes out to Stefani from Lost in the Moment Photo for coming out to shoot with me!

Marylee and Michael recently married, and I am so pleased to have been able to work with this couple.  Marylee and I hit it off immediately during our consultation!  Maybe it’s because Marylee and I both love to talk and giggle or because we are both obsessed with the movie Beauty and the Beast, but something clicked right away and I knew that this was going to be a special couple to work with.  It’s always so lovely to hit it off with a client, it makes the experience from start to finish a real pleasure.

Their wedding was held at the gorgeous Brignoli Manor in Talladega, AL.  Words really don’t do this location justice.  The entire place is awesome, most notably the staff.  They were so kind and helpful and were a big part of the reason the day ran so smoothly.  Also, the food was delicious!  Mike owns the Manor and is out of this world!  He’s amazing to work with and makes sure that events held at this location are totally affordable.  Love this location!  To make it all even more amazing, we started off with a gorgeous, sunny, warm day!

Here’s a couple of Marylee and Michael looking absolutely stunning with their bridesmaids and groomsmen:

Marylee and Michael are SO in love and it really shines through in each of their photos.  Talk about a couple that’s meant to be!  They are so fun to be around, and their sweetness just touches everyone’s hearts.  No one can deny the love that these two share.

Marylee and Michael – I had the most wonderful time through this entire process with you.  I am so happy that you chose me to capture your first day as husband and wife.  You are so pleasant to be around, and that really shines through in the photos; I hope you enjoy them!  You two are the best, and I wish you a life full of love!

A special thank you goes out to Stefani of Lost in the Moment Photography for helping me out!
