Pike Road, Alabama | The Oaks Plantation Wedding: Laura + Justin

It was one of those classic Alabama summer days. The blue sky, decorated with puffy white clouds, opened for an aptly timed afternoon shower just before Justin and Laura said 'I Do' in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at The Oaks Plantation in Pike Road. The combination of the setting and Laura's color pallet were pure perfection. Quite like she and Justin :)

Laura is a photographer and she filled her day with detail after detail. Much to my elation! Maybe it's because I've worked with Laura and know her outside of her being a bride, but I her wedding is definitely a favorite!

Time for the First Look. So much love and happiness!

Congratulations Laura and Justin!!

Friday Faves + Raves: Fall Edition

Happy Friday!!

Faves: Fall is my favorite

Y'all know how I feel about pumpkin spice lattes... obsessed is probably the word you're looking for. If you are what you eat then I'd happily turn into one :) Still, they are just one of a hundred reasons I love Fall and I seem to find new reasons every year. 

My new Fall fave comes from Bath & Body Works. I could bathe in this candle.

What is your Fall Fave?

Rave: 48 Days To the Work You Love

I'll be blogging about this one soon so I'll keep my thoughts short today and just say it's brilliant!!
I'm only on day 17 and am in love with this book. Have you read it?

One Point Five

Remember when being half an age was a big deal? Like when your Mom told someone how old you were, 'she's six' and you corrected her saying, 'I'm six and a half'. Well, everything old is new again... Happy 1.5 to my little Olive!

You look less like a baby every minute.
You like going 'side' to check the mail every day. (Even on Sunday)
You love reading 'ahbook' and making animal noises.
You stick your tongue out when I ask you what sound a lizard makes.
Your Dad and I are still amazed to see you walking.

Tuscaloosa, AL Wedding: Lindsey + Tyler

"I am thrilled to be shooting a wedding on the campus of my alma mater this weekend. It's definitely a full circle moment."

That was the best I could do to sum up my feelings in 140 characters or less. I'm not sure that 'trilled' was the right word. I don't think there is a word to describe how it felt. I was shooting in the shadow of my freshman dorm... literally yards away from the sorority house I lived in for 3 years while studying photography. Carrying my gear to the church I thought about how many times I'd lugged my camera and portfolio across the quad to class. I thought about how I missed it, but how satisfying it was to be doing it professionally. A full circle moment it was indeed.

I LOVED Lindsey's bridals and I was really excited to see what her wedding had in store. She and Tyler said 'I Do' at the beautiful Calvary Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

 

One of the sweetest moments during a first look. Just after seeing each other Lindsey and Tyler joined in prayer and all their 'nerves' melted away.

 

 

Mr & Mrs Odle!!

Congratulations Lindsey and Tyler!  I wish you all the blessings that come with a happy marriage.
