I have enjoyed getting to know Shea and Jeremy! Their friendship with one another is so true and fast, and I think being best friends with your betrothed really comes out in engagement pictures!

We spent a dreary muggy day out and about in downtown Birmingham, and loved every minute of it. Above all else, these two are FUN. And they took me to breakfast after our session - yummy. (That really sealed the deal on our new friendship)!

The spirit of their relationship is so aptly reflected in their images, and they just make me happy. I am SO looking forward to their upcoming wedding! Congratulations Shea and Jeremy!

On an absolutely breathtaking day in May, a beautiful wedding took place and a lovely couple made a lifelong commitment. This wedding has remained one of my all-time favorites…

Courtney and Shane tied the knot at The Sonnet House, a rustic, tucked-away jewel, in Birmingham, Alabama. The event was planned by Kathy Raughley Events, and oh my, they certainly created a photographer’s dream come true! With elegant floral arrangements by Kathy Miller, cakes to-die-for by Evelyn Criswell, and catering, and bands, and amazing cars…the list goes on and on.

We kicked off the day at a wonderful salon in Saks, complete with Mac make-up (my FAVE). The fabulous make-up artistry is the creation of uber-fabulous Jen Matthews of Porcelain and Pink. Check her out - this girl has some mad skills!

What really made this day so incredible was the relationship between Courtney and Shane - the tenderness and energy that they brought to their wedding day. I couldn’t have been more honored to have worked with them. They have both been a great blessing to me.

As a fun side note, I’d like to brag on the studio a bit and mention that The Powell’s pre-album design, created by our assistant and album designer, was perfect as is! There wasn’t a single change requested!

I wish Courtney and Shane all the best in their new life together. I am so very happy for you! Congratulations and Best Wishes!
