Shelby & Brandon June Wedding Alabama Gulf Coast

Do you remember those late night phone calls? The long distance drives to visit during your college years. The laughter shared during road trips to the beach. Each one of those moments brought you here. Today is the day you marry your best friend & will be able to call him your husband, finally. Today begins your day one. Your forever.

Shelby & Brandon are two of the sweetest people I have ever worked with. So gentle & sweet & true. You might even remember their beach engagement session from this spring - here it is for a refresher. So when June rolled around, I couldn't wait to photograph their wedding day. A chance for 100% rain & severe weather turned into a perfect overcast day with a little rain at the reception for good luck of course. Enjoy a few of my many favorites from their day one.

St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Parish provided the perfect location for Shelby & Brandon to become one. The grand architecture of the windows & wooden arches mixed with a simple shade of white made my photographer heart come alive. Not to mention the palm trees aligning the sanctuary reminding guests that you are near the coast.

The celebration continued over at the Five Rivers Delta Hall in Spanish Fort, Alabama with cake a dancing - my favorite!

The Nelsons | November 12th, 2016

'You will forever be my always.'

Holly & Ray are two of the kindest, warmest souls that we've ever worked with. From the initial meeting over coffee to their Dauphin Island engagement adventure session to this special day, what a journey & honor it has been to capture their love story. 

The bride, Holly, & her entourage got ready at the Fort Conde Inn. Hair & makeup was provided by the lovely ladies at Salon Thirty-One

Ah! First looks with dads are so special & this one was no different. 


Excuse me while I wipe the tears from my eyes! I love first looks especially theirs. <3



Holly & Ray said their vows in the beautiful St. Catherine Siena Parish Catholic Church on Springhill Avenue, Mobile, AL.

Bridal sessions - it's a love/hate relationship. They are normally taken a month out from the wedding date & are kept secret until then. And that's just not fair. Not one bit. 

Holly's session was breathtaking. We decided upon using their wedding venue, Mobile Botanical Gardens, as the backdrop & it was perfect. 

The Timeless Bride redesigned Holly's mother's dress from the eighties. Isn't that incredible?!

Congrats Mrs. Nelson! More from their wedding day coming soon!
