Here Comes the Bride

Mr & Mrs McDonald | Married

Malauri and Chance are married! This sweet couple tied the knot at a beautiful venue outside of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. With a hurricane brewing and taking aim at Florida, the love bugs were in abundance on their special day and the massive heat and humidity that we had been having gave us a break and it was a beautiful day! No humidity is just what the bride asked for, and God blessed her with a comfortable day!

Seeing Malauri walking down the isle with her daddy brought back many memories for me. I’ve watched her grow up since she was born and seeing the beautiful young lady that she is walking to her groom was such a sweet moment!

Congrats to the happy couple! Wishing you a lifetime of wedding bliss!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their wedding day!

Malauri | Bride

Malauri is married! The sweet couple said their vows yesterday, and it was a beautiful ceremony. A month before they said “I Do” I photographed Malauri for her bridal portraits. And, today I finally get to show them off!

It was HOT, but she was a trooper! We shot at two different locations, which gave her a good amount of different looks to choose from. Her makeup, hair, dress, everything was perfect, and even held up as we dodged rain showers.

Here are a few of my favorites from her bridals.

Mr & Mrs Morland | Wedding

Madelyn and Bobby Ray’s wedding might go down in history as the hottest wedding in April, ever. Hottest as in temperature and in chemistry. This was the first time I had met this couple in person, and their love for each other and for their family was a beautiful sight to behold!

I think everyone was happy the nasty weather that was headed that way held off till the next day. Thankfully the crazy wind kept us a bit cooled off throughout the afternoon and evening.

Despite the heat and wind, everything was gorgeous! The location, flowers, music, and the sweetest words spoken at their wedding made their day perfect! Both the bride and the groom’s dads about had me in tears several times!

Congratulations to Madelyn and Bobby Ray! I wish you and your family a lifetime of love and happiness!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their wedding day!

Malauri & Chance | Engaged

It’s safe to say that I feel old when I photograph an engagement session for one of the babies I used to babysit! I even remember feeding her Gerber sweet potatoes from the baby jar. And now, she’s beautiful young lady who is getting married!

Malauri and Chance had a fun session on her parent’s land in Mississippi. It was filled with fun, laughter, some strange looks from Chance (HA!), and even some rain. They were a fun couple to work with, and the camera loved them.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Mr & Mrs Upchurch | Wedding

Fall finally arrived in Alabama, and it made for the perfect day for Jordyne and Drew’s outdoor wedding. This was my first time to meet any of the Buckner or Upchurch family, and they were game for just about anything that day. Their wedding party was large, but extremely fun. I had a blast working with them to create fun and memorable photographs that they’ll have for a lifetime.

Congratulations Jordyne and Drew! I wish y’all all the best!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their wedding day.

Amberly | Here Comes The Bride

A few weeks ago, Amberly and her mom traveled over to Birmingham so we could get her bridal portraits taken before her big day. Her sister lives here, too, and she was able to glam her from head to toe.

Her wedding day was yesterday, so I’m sharing my favorites from her session.

We took these at the Botanical Garden here in Birmingham, and it was the perfect backdrop for these photos.
