She’s a librarian. He owns Rojo. Together they are the completely chill and super stylish couple, Rachel and Clark. When I first met Rachel I instantly loved her. She has an infectious smile and a warm presence that you can’t help but want to be around and her sense of humor isn’t bad, either. Throw […]

Rachel + Clark: Engaged! {Birmingham, Ala. engagement session with Mary Margaret Smith Photography}

The look on his face. The best part of a first look is the look on the groom’s face when he finally sees his bride. When the bride gets all dolled up and she’s ready to walk down the aisle, but first she lets her groom see her…it’s priceless. I love first looks for so many […]

First Look

To say that we all felt that this wedding was perfect is more or less saying that Shelby and Griffin are perfect. It is easy to see why they had 14 people each in their wedding party, why their ceremony at St. Dunstan’s downtown was standing room only, why their party at Moores Mill Club […]

Shelby + Griffin: An understated summer wedding with Kim Box Photography {Auburn, Alabama}

I’m all about the affordable lifestyle and when it comes to weddings sometimes it’s hard to stay in budget. One way I’ve seen couples cut costs yet keep their weddings adorable, is by making signs.

Goodies for the Guests

Holly and Andrew have a super fun story, and while I don’t want to spill all of the beans just yet, let’s just say these two are true high school sweethearts. When she told me they were going to do their engagement shoot not far from where we live (oh yeah, did I mention Holly’s […]

Holly + Andrew: Engaged! {Birmingham, Alabama engagement session with AL Weddings}

There are two vital parts that go into getting married. First, the boy has to ask. Second, the wedding and then…boom! Marriage. Quite often I get sucked into all the fun little aspects of the actual wedding. Yes, that is a huge part but what about the engagement?! The engagement is the giddy, no stress phase. […]

Engagements

Recently I have gotten the privilege of being a bridesmaid in some of my dearest friends weddings. Little did I know, the bride and groom usually buy the bridal party a gift. I always thought the gift was just being able to be a small part of their special day, but often there is more. I’ve seen […]

Wedding Party Gifts

In my work as creative director for Invision Events, I get the pleasure of seeing and guiding our client’s wedding style coming to life. However, I am merely editing the style that our brides intrinsically have. They are the ones who know what they are drawn to and what they want to feel on their […]
