So, I’m kind of in love with this downtown Birmingham engagement session. Not to mention the couple and photographers, Rachel and Noah Ray, too. Engagement sessions are such a fun option for the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. to connect with their photographer prior to their wedding as well as a fantastic way to capture this season of their life together.

Lauren and I connected instantly when we chatted about her upcoming rooftop wedding at the Historic Kress Building, reminiscing about one of our past weddings at that spot. We all knew this was a match made in heaven.

Can I talk about this photography team, Rachel and Noah Ray Photography? We can’t wait to work with this awesome couple! With a bold and stylistic approach, this duo captures the moment in a modern and timeless sense mixing both film and digital. Like, I need to get them on speed dial for my Christmas cards, stat!

For now, enjoy this peek into a day in the life with Lauren and Max, who are embracing everything there is to love about Birmingham, complete with a visit to their garden plot at Jones Valley Farm. We’ll check in with them again next May, so don’t worry, there is definitely more to come.

Cheers! Courtney
