I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful intimate in-home wedding this spring and I’m so excited to share Meghan & Brandon’s album with you all today. Meghan’s sister hosted their wedding in her lovely home and it was the perfect atmosphere filled with their family and we had the perfect gorgeous sunny day.
Today I’m showing off Alyssa & Corey’s wedding album! I met Alyssa a few years ago and I was thrilled when she chose me to create her portraits for her big day. She and I totally clicked and I swear we chat for 20-40 minutes every time she’s in even for just a pickup. And we are due with our little ones within days of eachother!!
We kicked off this beautiful wedding day at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel (which has the most gorgeous large and comfy suites that are the perfect getting ready spaces). And that even gave me and the gals a chance to sneak out back for a few images before we headed over to Scovill Golf Course for Alyssa to see her groom and create some more images pre-wedding!
One of Corey’s groomsmen might look a little familiar as he was also one of my grooms this year (you can see his wedding here).
Heather and Blair are the stars on the blog today! These two are the sweetest and their wedding day was full to bursting with love and family and fun. We kicked off the day at the day getting ready at their homes (where even Heather’s dog got fancied up for the special occasion).
This was my first wedding at First General Baptist Church and I have to say I’m a big fan especially with it being just walking distance to the beautiful Garden Path which we made our first stop after finishing formals inside! And Heather and Blair’s reception location was just as beautiful so we spent some time around sunset on the Hickory Point Golf Course grounds.
Their album is currently being hand-crafted in Italy and I cannot wait to see it in-person so soon!
I’m so excited to show off Amanda & James’ lovely wedding with you all today. I met Amanda and her momma at the Decatur Bridal Expo this year and they are both the sweetest people that I was so excited when they decided to book Amanda’s wedding there on the spot.
And these guys planned a beautiful wedding day! Often brides approach me with a bit of concern if they don’t want the whole shebang, sun up to sundown coverage of their wedding day. But I actually love the change of pace when I get to customize our wedding coverage to cover just what a couple loves most. Amanda knew she wanted the important portraits on her day with all the people most important to her and James but didn’t want to be on camera all day long. So we did just that… we scheduled just a few hours of coverage to create these portraits, capture their ceremony and spend a bit of time with her and James solo. And our timing was perfect… just as it started to rain we were finished and done and they were off to relax and party the night away.
Below is the final product from their special day and she’ll be picking up her album to show and share in person very very soon!
Ceremony: Crosspointe Community Church
Portraits: Scovill Park
