Swipe left for a glimpse into the enchanting weekend at River Chase Country Club, where I had the incredible honor of capturing Holly and Hunter's wedding festivities! πΏ
π Starting with a breathtaking ceremony at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, the love between these two radiated in every moment.
The weather was on our side, blessing us with sunshine and warmth throughout the day. From heartfelt vows to laughter-filled toasts, the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. π
River Chase Country Club provided the perfect backdrop for an elegant celebration, with its picturesque views and charming ambiance. As the sun set, it painted the sky with hues of gold, creating a truly romantic setting for Holly and Hunter to dance the night away.
Wishing this beautiful couple a lifetime filled with the same joy, love, and warmth that surrounded them on their special day. Cheers to Holly and Hunter's forever love story! ππ

Plus, who can forget her amazing volleyball skills? ππ₯ And how fate brought them together in college, where they both excelled in their sports - Sabrina on the volleyball court and Brooks as a baseball superstar - it's a love story in the making! Stay tuned for all the love and magic coming your way! ππβββββββββ.βββββββββ.

π€π Let's keep it real, folks β I am officially running on wedding and photo session fumes after 5 weddings this past month and 8 sessions! π·π But hey, I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving with my amazing family, and then it's off to Gatlinburg for Christmas! πβοΈ There's just something about being with family that's like hitting the reset button. As the youngest of 4, I get to be the fun little sister with zero expectations and zero judgment. ππ I must've won the family lottery because these guys are my heart and soul. How lucky am I? π₯°π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
ππΈ Daylight Savings is here, and it's a mixed bag of emotions, am I right? Shoots in the evening now happen around 3 or 4, which means earlier dinners are back in the game! But oh boy, leaving work when it's already dark outside and feeling like bedtime at 6? π΄π That's a struggle. How do you combat the seasonal blues? Let's share some positive vibes and tips! πͺβ¨ On a brighter note, here are some of my absolute favorites with some of our friends stationed in North Carolina! π·π€
β€οΈ Okay, friends, let's have a real talk about furry family members at photoshoots! If I ever say no to bringing your dog along (unless it's some, location-restricted spot), then I must be out of my mind! πΆββββββββββββββββββBeing a proud crazy dog mom myself, I absolutely LOVE capturing your fur babies in all their adorable glory! πΈ
Here's the inside scoop: to make it all go smoothly, aim to arrive a bit early at the location. Our four-legged pals need a moment to get all those sniffs out and get comfy. And, here's a pro tip - bring a friend to help out. They can hold the leash when your pup isn't in the photos or act as a trusty anchor to keep them grounded. ππ
Let's make sure your pet's personality shines through in your photos, 'cause we know they're a massive part of your world! π·π
πΈπ It's the BIG day today, and it's going to be EPIC! π I've been holding onto these engagement photos for what feels like forever, and you're about to see why β they're perfect for Halloween! πββββββββββββββββββMileska and Jason are bringing the spooky vibes to their wedding, and I couldn't be more excited. They've been an absolute blast to work with, and I can't wait to capture all the incredible moments on their special wedding day! π€π§‘
Be sure to keep an eye on my stories for all the behind-the-scenes action and some thrilling updates throughout the day. Let the Halloween wedding magic begin! π·οΈπ»
Hey there, friends! π So, I'm finally getting back into the groove of scheduling social media posts because, whoa, the demand is through the roof right now! ππ₯ββββββββββββββββββJust a little PSA β even if I've been a bit MIA on social lately, it doesn't mean I'm not hustlin' behind the scenes. π·πͺ
I had an absolute blast with Kelsey and Richard during their engagement session. Every time I'm out in Huntsville, my jaw drops at how much this place transforms and just keeps getting more beautiful! ποΈ
The countdown is on for their wedding next year, and I couldn't be more excited to capture their love story. Stay tuned for all the magic, my friends! π₯π
πΈπ
Hey there, lovely people! ππ· It's high time I pop in and show my face, right?ββββββββββββββββββSo, here's the scoop β I've been absolutely blown away by this year. My first year back in Alabama has been nothing short of AMAZING! π
I can't thank you all enough for the incredible support and the chance to be part of so many awesome shoots and weddings. Every moment has been a treasure, and I'm just getting started! Here's too many more exciting adventures ahead. π₯π
Now, let me keep it real with you - running a business is no walk in the park. It's not for the faint of heart. There are sleepless nights and endless 7-day work weeks, all while juggling a full-time job on top of it. But hey, I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's a labor of love, and I'm loving every bit of it! πΈπͺ
And, did you know it's "Hug a Photographer" season? π€ I wouldn't mind a warm hug or two! Let's keep spreading the love and capturing memories together. πΈπ
Fall mini sessions are all about those ear-to-ear grins, and this little one didn't disappoint! ππ That's what makes these sessions so fantastic, especially for families with young kids - we can squeeze in a solid 15 minutes of smiles before the little ones reach their limit! πΈπ§‘ββββββββββββββββββOh, and don't worry, husbands, I've got you covered too! π You'll be in and out of there before you even realize it.
And guess what? Christmas tree farm mini sessions are still up for grabs! ππ Check out the link in my bio to book your spot and let's capture those special moments together! π

πΈπ I'm still buzzing with excitement after shooting Jessie and Connor's engagement session!

What a ride! πΏπββββββββββββββββββThese two had me in stitches throughout the whole session β their love and laughter are downright infectious.

πΈβ¨ Oh, Marlin absolutely brought the heat to her senior shoot β talk about a total slay! ππ₯ We went on a whirlwind adventure hitting up three locations, and she not only nailed the outfit game but had props for each spot! Dream client alert, for sure! πββββββββββββββββββWorking with Marlin was an absolute blast. She's as down-to-earth as they come, and I couldn't be happier for her as she graduates with her accounting degree β big things on the horizon! π
Our day was filled with laughter, and I can't help but smile thinking about the epic moment that champagne bottle popped open prematurely. πΎπ I basically threw it at her, bolted for my camera, and started clicking away! These photos? They turned out even better than I could've imagined. Take a peek and let me know what you think! π
π·π So, y'all know I'm not the sportiest person on the block, but when Amy and Joseph pitched the idea of having their engagement photos right outside the Braves stadium, I was all in! βΎπ€©β£
We had a teeny bit of rain at the start, but guess what? Mother Nature had our backs and cleared those skies for us, letting us capture some seriously amazing shots! π¦οΈβ¨
I'm counting down the days until their wedding next September β it's going to be epic! π₯π°ββοΈ Let the countdown begin!

Guests Unplugged? Here's How! π΅
1. Signage: Set up a clear sign at the entrance πͺ
2. Spoken: Officiant kindly asks for no phones π£οΈ
3. Program: Feature Unplugged Ceremony in program π
All Three: Triple the impact by using all options! π«π±
Remember, it's about living the moment! ππ You wouldn't want everyone just staring at screens during your ceremony to catch a glimpse of you! That's why you hire a reliable photographer β no need to rely on others' images. Plus, I ensure a 24-hour sneak peek for my couples after the wedding day! πΈπ
Daddy/daughter first looks β they truly tug at the heartstrings, maybe even more than couple's First Looks! For many Dads, this is when reality sets in: "My baby girl is getting MARRIED!" These moments are priceless to capture. To all Daddy's girls, consider adding this brief yet special moment to your schedule β it's quick! The only challenge? Ensuring Dad's punctuality. If he's late, the timeline goes awry. Plan this look carefully, and ensure Dad knows where to be and when. πΈπ¨βπ§
First Look: Worth Every Moment! π
More Portraits & Peace of Mind: πΈβ¨ Investing in your wedding photography is huge. With a First Look, you'll get 40% MORE portraits of you two β the images that'll adorn your first home! This makes the most of your investment and acts as rain/storm insurance. No missed portrait opportunities!
Share the Surprise Intimately: π€΅π° Imagine the aisle moment β shocking, but he can't react. A First Look lets you have private, intimate time with your man. No waiting; you see his amazed reaction up close.
Extend Your Special Day: β°π A First Look adds almost 3 hours to your wedding day. No rush for portraits; instead, enjoy hanging out with your best friends. The first half of your album captures this joyous time.
Precious Alone Time: π First Looks grant you rare alone time on your big day. Conner and I cried, laughed, and set the mood for romantic portraits. Skip rushed family-formal shots; relish your emotional connection.
Beat the Nerves: π
Diminish those nerves! Many grooms weren't keen on a First Look initially, but they later embraced it. Experience trumps doubts β grooms feel more relaxed and ceremony-ready.
Embrace the First Look β it's a bundle of joy, memories, and calming moments. π₯°πΈπ
Reflecting on some of the most enchanting moments of my life as I watch the heartbreaking news about the Hawaii wildfires. ποΈβ¨ A few months living in this paradise with my sister were nothing short of pure magic. From sunrise hikes to sunset photos on the beach, every day felt like a dream come true. π Now, seeing the land that held so many of everyones unforgettable memories threatened by fires is a harsh reminder of how fragile our world can be. Let's stand together in solidarity for Hawaii, its people, and its incredible spirit. πΊπ₯ Cherishing the moments we had and hoping for the safety and recovery of this breathtaking place. ππ
Wedding planning involves numerous expenses. Brides often need to prioritize where to invest. Based on my experience photographing weddings, certain areas deserve more investment for a significant impact. This list aims to guide your investments wisely:
πPrioritize Your Bridal Bouquet: A stunning bouquet can enhance the entire day's visuals. It's a key element in photography. Invest more in your dream bouquet and cut back on bridesmaids' bouquets, as they're not as prominently photographed.
πΏChoose Greenery Over Blooms: Greenery is cost-effective and photographs beautifully. Reserve actual flowers for key bouquets, while using greenery for other decorations. This balances visual impact and budget.
πͺ·Opt for One Striking Installation: Instead of dispersing decorations everywhere, focus on a single impactful focal point. For instance, invest in a grand hanging chandelier or unique lighting, with simpler centerpieces on tables.
π·Dual-Purpose Decor: Make decor functional. A stylish entryway can double as a photo booth during the lively dancing phase.
π»Minimize Spending on Tiny Details: Avoid excessive spending on personalized favors and minor elements. Often, these details go unnoticed despite your effort.
Make wise investments in your wedding's high-impact aspects while cutting unnecessary costs.
πΈπ Picture-perfect outfit tips for a flawless photoshoot! πβ¨ Remember these essentials to create stunning images that you'll cherish forever:
1οΈβ£ Colors to avoid: Steer clear of bright reds, neons, and bright oranges. These hues can reflect color onto the skin and make editing tricky!
2οΈβ£ Say no to tiny patterns: Patterns smaller than a quarter can cause "Chromatic Aberration" in digital images. Opt for larger checkered patterns for men's shirts if you're a fan of that classic look!
3οΈβ£ Balance the heaviness: Mix and match the weight of your outfits. If one of you is rocking dark jeans, consider pairing them with lighter pants. When it comes to tops, avoid both going dark or heavy-colored β balance is key!
4οΈβ£ Dress alike, look alike: Avoid one of you being casual while the other is more dressy. Let's keep those awkward moments out of your fabulous photos!
5οΈβ£ No-go items: Leave the tennis shoes, graphic tees, bold logos on shirts, sunglasses, and baseball hats at home. Embrace a clean, classy look that will make you shine!
With these pro-tips, your photoshoot will be a masterpiece of style and elegance! π·πΉ Can't wait to capture your love in the most stunning frames! ππ

πΈβ¨ Capturing love and spreading joy is what makes photography my true passion! ππ Here are three reasons why I absolutely adore being a wedding photographer:
1οΈβ£ Being a part of people's happiest moments is an absolute privilege! From the heartfelt "I Do's" to the tearful embraces, I get to witness and freeze those precious memories in time. π₯°π It's an honor to share in the love and happiness of each couple's special day!
2οΈβ£ Photography brings me closer to people from all walks of life! Each wedding introduces me to a new group of incredible individuals, and through our journey together, some of them become lifelong friends! The bond formed through capturing their love stories is truly priceless! π€π
3οΈβ£ Wanderlust and beautiful locations go hand in hand with wedding photography! πβοΈ I'm blessed to travel to so many different and breathtaking places, from rustic countryside venues to exotic destinations. Each backdrop becomes a canvas to paint the couple's love story, making my job an adventure I cherish! πΊπ
At the heart of it all, it's the people, their love, and the unforgettable places that make photography my dream come true! ποΈπ
