Brittany + James

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Brittany and James had contacted me last year about photographing their wedding.  So, in that time I had the pleasure of also shooting their engagement photos and Brittany’s bridal portraits.  I was looking forward to the beautiful ceremony that they had planned.

Brittany and James decided to have their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Big Spring Park in Huntsville, Alabama.  The venue was gorgeous, and the backdrop of the ceremony was a large rock wall and a beautiful pond with fountain, which had gorgeous orchid floral arrangements floating in it.   The pathways were lined with similar floral arrangements, candles, and the stairs were draped in a beautiful burgundy satin ribbon.  It was obvious that Brittany had spent so much time carefully choosing each detail, and it was time well spent.  :)

 

We started the day off at the hotel, where Brittany had her hair and makeup done.

Such a tender moment of her mother grabbing a sweet kiss as she finishes getting her dress laced up.

Brittany anxiously waiting for her groom to meet her at the top of the stairs for their “first look” before the ceremony.

Her dad, waiting for his beloved daughter to make her way down the stairs, looked so dashing and distinguished in his tuxedo.

Her gorgeous cake adorned with sugar orchids matched the floral decorations perfectly.

As the sun went down, the atmosphere lent its self to dancing and enjoying the evening.

I met this beautiful mommy-to-be at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens to capture the memories of her first pregnancy. She was just glowing and so anxious to meet her baby boy.

It was such a privilege to be able to provide these images for their family to cherish forever.

Girlie Cuteness!

This little angel’s session was scheduled for the day after all of those horrible tornadoes ripped across Alabama.  We were with out power after those tragic storms happened, so her little session had to be post-poned.  Even though the session took place later than we had planned, she did such a great job!   She fought sleep for a little while, but when she was out… she was out! :)

Here are a few of the precious images that we captured that day!

 

Note: My husband’s Aunt had brought us over the adorable planter below as a house warming gift.
I just knew that before I used it as a planter, I had to put a baby in it first. (It’s funny how a photographer’s mind works, LOL!)
It matched this newborn set-up SO well! :)
