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! 🌿

💍 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. 🌟

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! 💑💐

Love in full bloom at the old green house this past Saturday! 💚🌿 Sabrina and Brooks' wedding day was pure magic, and even the rain couldn't dampen our joy. Cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever after! 🥂✨

🎉📷 It's finally here, folks! Sabrina and Brooks are ready to say 'I do' at the charming Old Green House, and I can't wait to capture their special day! 💍💫 Sabrina and I go way back to our high school days, and she's always been the kindest soul. Plus, who can forget her amazing volleyball skills? 🏐🔥 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! 💑🌟​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

💤😅 Let's keep it real, folks – I am officially running on wedding and photo session fumes after 5 weddings this past month and 8 sessions! 📷💍 But hey, I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving with my amazing family, and then it's off to Gatlinburg for Christmas! 🎄✈️ 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. 🙌💖 I must've won the family lottery because these guys are my heart and soul. How lucky am I? 🥰👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🌞📸 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? 😴🌙 That's a struggle. How do you combat the seasonal blues? Let's share some positive vibes and tips! 💪✨ On a brighter note, here are some of my absolute favorites with some of our friends stationed in North Carolina! 📷🤗

❤️ 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! 🐶​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Being a proud crazy dog mom myself, I absolutely LOVE capturing your fur babies in all their adorable glory! 📸

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. 🐕🌟

Let's make sure your pet's personality shines through in your photos, 'cause we know they're a massive part of your world! 📷😁

📸💍 It's the BIG day today, and it's going to be EPIC! 🙌 I've been holding onto these engagement photos for what feels like forever, and you're about to see why – they're perfect for Halloween! 🎃​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Mileska 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! 🖤🧡

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! 🕷️👻

Hey there, friends! 🌟 So, I'm finally getting back into the groove of scheduling social media posts because, whoa, the demand is through the roof right now! 📆💥​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Just a little PSA – even if I've been a bit MIA on social lately, it doesn't mean I'm not hustlin' behind the scenes. 📷💪

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! 🏞️

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! 🥂💍

📸😊

Hey there, lovely people! 👋📷 It's high time I pop in and show my face, right?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​So, here's the scoop – I've been absolutely blown away by this year. My first year back in Alabama has been nothing short of AMAZING! 🌟

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. 🥂💕

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! 📸💪

And, did you know it's "Hug a Photographer" season? 🤗 I wouldn't mind a warm hug or two! Let's keep spreading the love and capturing memories together. 📸😄

Fall mini sessions are all about those ear-to-ear grins, and this little one didn't disappoint! 🍂😄 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! 📸🧡​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Oh, and don't worry, husbands, I've got you covered too! 😉 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! 🎄📆 Check out the link in my bio to book your spot and let's capture those special moments together! 🌟

📸✨ Liv and Ben's wedding day was an absolute dream! 😍💍 We had the best time with the sweetest bridal party and the couple of the century. 💃🕺 And oh boy, we danced the night away on that dance floor! 🎉💃

Their ceremony at St. Mary's Church in downtown Huntsville was pure magic, followed by an epic reception at the Huntsville Museum of Art. 🏛️🎉

Love, laughter, and happily ever after – that's what this day was all about! 💕💐

💍🌿 Sending the biggest congrats to Spencer and Cat on their incredible proposal! I'm still buzzing with excitement from being a part of their special moment! 💫​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Spencer picked the Huntsville Botanical Gardens for the big question because it holds a special place in their hearts - it was one of their very first date spots! 🌷

From the moment Spencer reached out to me, it was crystal clear just how much he adores Cat. And let me tell you, he absolutely nailed the proposal! 😍🙌

Wishing you two all the happiness in the world as you begin this beautiful journey together. Cheers to love, laughter, and countless unforgettable moments ahead! 🥂❤️

📸💑 I'm still buzzing with excitement after shooting Jessie and Connor's engagement session! We kicked things off at the stunning Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and then wrapped it up at a gorgeous city overlook. What a ride! 🌿🌇​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​These two had me in stitches throughout the whole session – their love and laughter are downright infectious. It's so clear that they're head over heels for each other, and it warms my heart. ❤️

And hold on to your hats because their wedding is sneaking up on us like a ninja in February at ! I absolutely cannot wait to capture more of their love story on their big day. Let the countdown begin! 🎉👰‍♂️

📸✨ Oh, Marlin absolutely brought the heat to her senior shoot – talk about a total slay! 💃🔥 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! 🌟​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Working 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 – big things on the horizon! 🎓

Our day was filled with laughter, and I can't help but smile thinking about the epic moment that champagne bottle popped open prematurely. 🍾😂 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! 💕

📷💍 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! ⚾🤩⁣
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! 🌦️✨

I'm counting down the days until their wedding next September – it's going to be epic! 🥂👰‍♂️ Let the countdown begin!

Such an amazing day yesterday at Jenna and Tyler's wedding! I was lucky enough to capture all the love and windy-day vibes. The weather was just perfect - not too hot, not too cold.

📷✨ Big news, friends! I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that my better half, Conner (aka the hubs 😄), is officially joining the Krista Suzanne team as my second photographer! 🎉
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This upcoming wedding season, he's diving headfirst into this incredible journey alongside me, and we couldn't be more excited! 🤝📸 Conner has already been a rockstar at several photoshoots, soaking up knowledge like a sponge. His photography skills are seriously impressive, and he's got a real knack for capturing those perfect moments.

Here's to an amazing season of teamwork, creativity, and many more to come! 🤗💕 Get ready for some dynamic duo photography magic! 💫

Capturing the magic of Mallory and Dalton's love during their engagement session was an absolute joy! ✨💍 Their gallery was just delivered, and I can't wait for them to relive these beautiful moments! 📸 Can't wait to witness their love story continue to unfold on their wedding day! 💖👰🤵

Adventures in downtown Birmingham with these two were an absolute delight! 💍✨ From the very first conversation, it felt like we'd been friends forever. We laughed, we explored, and we captured the genuine love between Caroline and Dalton.

Their engagement session was just a glimpse of the incredible journey they're embarking on, and I'm counting down the days to their wedding next year! 💑💕

Here's to Caroline and Dalton, to the bonds formed through shared laughter and love, and to the anticipation of their upcoming wedding day! 🥂✨ Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes moments as we eagerly await their special day.

🌼 Love is in full bloom at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens! 📸💕 Had an absolute blast capturing Nicole and Robbie's love story here - seriously, they're the cutest! 😄 Learning about how they met and fell in love was the cherry on top of this fun photoshoot. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and beautiful moments! Cheers to the engagement! 💍🥂 🌿💑✨

Guests Unplugged? Here's How! 📵
1. Signage: Set up a clear sign at the entrance 🚪
2. Spoken: Officiant kindly asks for no phones 🗣️
3. Program: Feature Unplugged Ceremony in program 📖

All Three: Triple the impact by using all options! 🚫📱

Remember, it's about living the moment! 🌟💑 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 – no need to rely on others' images. Plus, I ensure a 24-hour sneak peek for my couples after the wedding day! 📸🎉

Daddy/daughter first looks – 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 – 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. 📸👨‍👧

First Look: Worth Every Moment! 💖

More Portraits & Peace of Mind: 📸✨ Investing in your wedding photography is huge. With a First Look, you'll get 40% MORE portraits of you two – 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: 🤵👰 Imagine the aisle moment – 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: ⏰💃 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: 💑 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: 😅 Diminish those nerves! Many grooms weren't keen on a First Look initially, but they later embraced it. Experience trumps doubts – grooms feel more relaxed and ceremony-ready.

Embrace the First Look – it's a bundle of joy, memories, and calming moments. 🥰📸🎉

Reflecting on some of the most enchanting moments of my life as I watch the heartbreaking news about the Hawaii wildfires. 🏞️✨ 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. 💕 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. 🌺🔥 Cherishing the moments we had and hoping for the safety and recovery of this breathtaking place. 🙏💙

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:

💐Prioritize 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.
🌿Choose 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.
🪷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.
🌷Dual-Purpose Decor: Make decor functional. A stylish entryway can double as a photo booth during the lively dancing phase.
🌻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.

📸💕 Picture-perfect outfit tips for a flawless photoshoot! 🌟✨ Remember these essentials to create stunning images that you'll cherish forever:

1️⃣ Colors to avoid: Steer clear of bright reds, neons, and bright oranges. These hues can reflect color onto the skin and make editing tricky!

2️⃣ 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!

3️⃣ 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 – balance is key!

4️⃣ 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!

5️⃣ 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! 📷🌹 Can't wait to capture your love in the most stunning frames! 😍🎉
