Brittany & Cooper | Downtown Birmingham, Alabama Engagement Portrait Session

DMP_9733.jpg

This Alabama bride-to-be was one of my first contacts to make in Birmingham, Alabama a year ago & we had an instant connection. We’re both dog MOMS - both to two adorably handsome Cavalier King Charles Cocker Spaniels.

Brittany works for an incredible non-profit here in our community, Hand-in-Paw, & she trusted me to photograph several of their events last year (*shameless plug, sign up for the Mutt Strut - it’s such a blast). Last year she got engaged to the best dog dad for Chester & asked me to photograph one of the most special days in her life. I about fell out of my chair with excitement!

Brittany & Cooper are two of the chillest people that I’ve ever met. They’re the type of friends who I could call that would always be down to grab a drink at one of Birmingham’s local breweries after work or meet up for dinner with the pups in toe. Their entire engagement session was so laid back & effortless as the they simply enjoyed being together.

Brittany chose the first location, Shoppe Bham. And I must return. It was the cutest little spot for some cozy, laidback engagement portraits.

Brittany is incorporating succulents into her wedding decor, so this detail shot of her ring is perfect!


Next stop, downtown Birmingham at the Elyton Hotel. If you think these portraits are great, just wait until you see the rooftop ones! >insert heart eyes<
