Amber and Shane's New Year's Celebration

New Year’s Eve 2009 was definitely one to remember! Myself, April and Danielle had the pleasure of ringing in 2010 with an amazing couple- Amber and Shane. The couple exchanged vows at Oakhurst farms in WestPoint, Georgia. The romantic ceremony was complete with a gorgeous fireplace, candlelight and family and friends. After their vows, the couple celebrated into the night with their guests at the beautiful lakeside hall. We truly enjoyed being there and having the privilege to capture such an amazing celebration! A special thanks goes out to April with Once in Every Life Photography. Thanks and Congratulations to Amber and Shane!

A Fantastic Flowers Wedding

When we headed up to Sylacauga, Alabama on December 5th, we had no idea what we were in for! Nadine, Danielle and I had an absolute blast shooting the wedding of Britney and Clark Flowers. With this eccentric and exciting couple there was never a dull moment. The couple exchanged vows in a beautifully Christmas decorated church. The ceremony was extremely touching! After the pair said I do, we headed to the playground next door for a few fun pics. Britney and Clark were so awesome and completely willing to do anything! After playtime, the couple headed to their reception where they were welcomed by friends and family like celebrities down their own personal red carpet. A big thanks go out to the happy couple for letting us be a part of your special day! Congrats to Britney and Clark!

Our Special Moment Contest WINNERS

CONGRATULATIONS DARBY AND JONATHAN!

We had several entries into our contest and our judges picked a winner. Darby and Jonathan will be receiving a wonderful photography package from us along with all the bells and whistles that you would like for your wedding day, along with a bridal bouquet from Calera Quality Florist! They will be exchanging vows on June 26, 2010. Here is their story!

Just a little about us:

Jonathan is the true cowboy, farmer, and southern gentleman. He always opens the door for me and constantly reminds me of how much he cares for me. He is from Selma, Alabama, where he also has a farm. He will graduate from the University of Montevallo in May 2010.

I would describe myself as a typical southern belle. I grew up in Childersburg, Alabama and graduated from the University of Montevallo in 2006. I will also receive my Master’s in Education from UM this August. I teach 6^th grade at Homewood Middle School, where I also coach 7^th grade cheerleaders.

How we met (2007):

Jonathan and I were both at a party at one of my sorority sister’s houses. His fraternity and my sorority occasionally get together for events. All of the girls had just gotten back from a Japanese restaurant celebrating one of our friend’s birthdays. We were extremely overdressed- as most sorority girls are. J I noticed Jonathan, the shy southern “cowboy” in his blue jeans and boots, sitting on the couch by himself. He and I were the only two people in the house not drinking, so I figured we could hang out. I sat down beside him and began talking to him. We had the best conversation! I told him I needed to go home and get in bed because I was trying out a new church in the morning. He told me that his dad happened to be a preacher down the road, and then he invited me to church with him. I thought he was just being nice by inviting me, but a few weeks later he did end up taking me to church with him. During our long conversation that first night, he and I both realized that we had a great deal in common. We have been together for two years now. Recently, we just joined a new church together where we will also be married.

The Proposal (May 30, 2009):

Jonathan was very close to his grandparents, who unfortunately passed away before I came into his life. They lived in a cute little house in Mountain Brook, Alabama. The family still owns the house and is currently trying to fix it up. Jonathan had been spraying the weeds and working on the yard all day one Saturday. He asked me if I wanted to go out to eat that night. We ended up trying a new restaurant and really liked it. After we ate, he said he wanted to go to the Mountain Brook house to check on the yard and see if it looked okay. When we got there, I had to go inside to the ladies’ room. As I was coming out of the house he was coming in with a ring box in his hand. I saw the box and immediately my mouth fell open. Apparently, I surprised him, as well, because his eyes got pretty big. He asked me to marry him right there in his grandparents’ house and I, of course, said, “YES!”

I am currently moving in to the Mountain Brook house and he will join me there when we get married next year. It is truly a special place to us.

Amber and Shane's Engagement

On August 8th, Danielle and I traveled to Auburn to capture the excitement of Amber Truitt and Shane Curry's engagement.The couple was wonderful to get to know and we also got a history lesson on Auburn's beautiful campus! Amber and Shane will exchange their vows in West Point, Georgia on New Years Eve. Stay tuned for more engagment and wedding pictures from this great couple!

Shea and Brett's Wedding

On August 1st, Nadine and I had the pleasure of photographing Shea and Brett Watson's wedding at the First Baptist Church in Maplesville. The day started out a bit on the rainy side, but the wedding turned out beautifully. Shea was stunning in her classic ivory gown and Brett was equally as dashing in his black tuxedo. Together, these two were reminiscent of Barbie and Ken- perfect! The new couple celebrated in style with touches of hot pink sprinkled throughout the bridal party's attire and reception area. It was truly an honor to get to take pictures for such an amazing couple. More pictures to come soon!

I am pleased to announce that I have finally found a place that has awesome storybooks! These are great gifts for grandparents or parents! The storybook can hold 28 or more pictures and is 8.5x11. If you are interested please let me know and I can give you a price on your book.

Carmen's Bridal Session

I am so happy that I get to post these pictures now and talk about Carmen's bridal session! We had such a fun time with Carmen and her mom taking her pictures. We decided to shoot her bridal session in Birmingham at The Loft at Flower Stems, and around the Birmingham area. Carmen's dress was so pretty, and so were her flowers that Vince Gray (Flower Stems in Birmingham, Al) did for her. Carmen wanted us to wait on blogging or posting anything from her bridal session till after her wedding. Tiffany, Danielle and I had the pleasure of shooting Carmen and Seth's wedding on June 13. I hope you enjoy!
