Hallie & Will

Haliie & Will wed April 4th. The wedding was beautiful. I especially loved the details such as the natural flowers by Jon Martinez at Bloom. The Ceremony was held at Canterbury United Methodist and the reception followed at Birmingham Country Club.

Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine

We were in Chicago with Grace and Tracy at the Peninsula Hotel. Here is a sneak peak at what we shot. You will love the issue when it comes out in August. This is my all time favorite fashion shoot I have ever shot and totally different from any other bridal you have seen. The images will blow you away, when you see the whole series. When the issue hits newsstands you will see what I mean. It is smoking hot!

MJ 2 Day

Our Buddy Melissa Jill is offering a workshop in Sunny Arizona. You may remember her from the Zero to 60 workshop we did last August in Ireland. Melissa and I met at the Photogirls 2008 and have kept up since then. If you really want some insight into the wedding photography biz be sure to check her out.

Southern Dream Weddings

We will have a feature section in the new issue of Southern Dream Weddings. Check it out. The images were shot at Ross Bridge, Alene from I Do I Do did the design concept, Martie was their for Brombergs and Vince did the flowers from Flowers Stems. I think everything turned out beautiful. A very clean classic look for a Southern Girl. If you want to have the models fresh spring looks for hair and make up you can get them yourself by Jessica Riggins

Welcome to my home

As many of you may know we work from our home and I thought it would be nice to show some photos of it. We meet with brides and other clients here and have a studio in the back. This house has been a huge project! Many of our friends saw the before images and even a few saw the actual before in person. I thought ya’ll might like the after shots. We are very happy with the restoration on this 1929 house and wanted to post a little example of all our hard work.

I read this today in an email and thought it was very wise.

Watch your thoughts for they become your words

Watch your words for they shall become your actions

Watch your actions for they shall become your habits

Watch your Habits for they shall become your character

Watch your Character for it shall become your destiny.

Shalini Bridal Portraits

This weekend we photographed Shalini & CJ’s wedding. Shalini is Sikh & CJ is Punjabi so this was a new wedding ceremony style for us to photograph. They did a dual ceremony and when you view the images you will be able to see the differences.

Below are Shalini’s bridal portraits and more images will follow on the blog.

Thank you Dr & Mrs Walia for trusting Shalini’s wedding weekend events to Brett & I we completely enjoyed every minute of it!

This is love...

Chelsea’s bridal portraits were taken today at The Donnelly House here in Birmingham and they are amazing. I can’t wait until wedding day! She will marry in Jackson, Mississippi. The wedding I know will go seamlessly with the help of her mom and of course Shanna from A Southern Affair.

Kimberly

We photographed Kimberly’s wedding last year. The event was held out at Capps Cove in Oneanta, AL. It was a perfect day for them. These are the images Kimberly is considering for her canvases. Take a vote and let me know which one you like best. My favorite is the one I made into an antique finish. I know this will print beautifully on canvas. <#1#2

What people are saying

I was at B & A Warehouse on Friday night and chatting with Susan before our event started. While we were chatting she told me about a website called Wedding Wire. I was so excited to see two Five Star reviews on the site! Check out what our brides are saying.

Lindsay & Jonathan are saving the date!

Lindsay and I scheduled and rescheduled these portraits due to our crazy Alabama weather. I am so excited that we waited for the perfect day! The blue sky with the American Flag looks so iconic with the red top and sunglasses on Lindsay & Jonathan.

I also found out last night that Birmingham is getting smaller. As I was going through Jessica & George Lane’s wedding images last night during an album consult I saw a photo of them at the reception.
