Beautiful Pastel Wedding

Friday, October 28th, 2011

This beautiful wedding took place in the town of Mt. Laurel, which is a beautiful community in Birmingham, Alabama.  The town is so very charming and the perfect place for a wedding. The ceremony site was set up in the lush green grass, and the couple said their “I do’s”  under lights strung in the overhanging tree branches surrounded by friends and family.

The bride wore a beautiful Vera Wang ballgown with a blush bodice, and her groom wore a linen suit with a pastel striped tie.  The bridesmaids wore navy dresses, which looked so beautiful with the yellow, white, and blush floral bouquets that  they carried.

They looked perfect, the location was perfect, and everything about their special day was perfect. I want to give a special thanks to Miss Elizabeth Ann , I had so much fun shooting this wedding with her!  She is so sweet and such a great photographer.

Onto the photos…

Nothing like a little star treatment and recognition for the bride when getting her coffee! :)

Her dress by Vera Wang was so gorgeous hanging here, and even more beautiful when she put it on!

The bride and her father arrived to the ceremony on horse and carriage.
I can’t think of a more fitting way for her to make her entrance.  After all, she looked like a princess!

Amber + Brandon

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

Last month, I had the distinct honor of photographing the marriage ceremony of Amber and Brandon.  I was so excited when she contacted me because I had never shot such an intimate ceremony before.
I just love weddings so much, regardless of the size.  Big weddings, small weddings… a commitment and expression of love like that deserves to be documented in a beautiful way!

After the ceremony, we headed downtown to take some great portraits to commemorate this day and for the the couple to treasure forever. :)

Love, love, love this next image! :)

Picnic and Waterskiing Engagement Session!

Monday, October 17th, 2011

This engagement session was so much fun and exactly what an engagement session should be about… the couple!!!

Jennifer and David combined the theme of their 2012 wedding with their love of waterskiing to create the perfectly unique and custom photo session.  Because the session was so personal to them, they will surely treasure the images even more.  I had such a fun time with this amazing couple, and I can not wait until their wedding!

I recommend that all of my engaged couples think about what is special and unique to you as a couple and incorporate that into your photos. :)  It makes for some amazing memories!

This special engagement session can also be seen as a feature on the Ever-Ours Wedding blog!
