Also, be sure to check out Jennifer and Justin’s wedding day post here, which includes some of our favorites portraits EVER!!!
As the summer shooting season starts winding down for Stacey and me, we were so blessed to spend Saturday with Courtney and Michael, at one of the coolest little churches we’ve seen in a long time! We were also grateful for their willingness to brave the heat and shoot some portraits with us around Christ Church of Branch Cove. Courtney was styled to perfection thanks to Birmingham Glam!
Courtney was all about some killer details, including an awesome pair of PURPLE Manolo Blahnik’s. Seriously gorgeous! That, paired with some gorgeous floral arrangements by Carol at Lillie’s Flowers! Courtney and Michael’s purple-inspired pallet meant that we had some AWESOME color popping all over the place!
Their reception was help at the Newton-Davis House, and was a perfect combination of a casual backyard get-together, and chic wedding reception. So in love with the table centerpieces, made up of mis-matched white vases and more of Lillies handywork! And many thanks to wedding planner Anita Kanellis, who made the day run SO smooth!
Michael and Courtney, thank you so much for having us as part of your big day, and enjoy a few of our early favorites!

We absolutely love ever opportunity we get to shoot weddings for multiple family members, and thankfully, it’s been happening more and more lately! Stacey and I spent Saturday at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church with Brandon and Abbie, and having shot Brandon’s sister Miranda’s wedding early this year … we felt right at home with the family!
Despite some scheduling mixups by the church, Brandon and Abbie seemed to enjoy soaking in every moment of their day, from seeing each other for the first time right outside of Abbie’s classroom at OLS, to singing the Alabama fight song together before jetting of to Disney World, they never stopped smiling.
These two met while tailgating prior to an Alabama game in Tuscaloosa, so it only seemed fitting that they had a tailgate-themed wedding reception, complete with Crimson Tide tents, a banana pudding bar, plenty of crimson and white decor, and a football themed cake-topper! The icing on the cake, however, was when Abbie and Brandon changed into their leave outfits … with Brandon sporting a pinstripe seersucker suit, and Abbie rocking her grandmother’s wedding dress, which she had tailored into a shorter, sleeveless version. Stacey was smitten, to say the least!
Many thanks to the guys at Feel the Beat for playing some awesome tailgate tunes at the reception, and to Imperial Catering for making it even harder for me to stay on my diet.
Abbie and Brandon, thank you so much for sharing your day with us. We were truly blessed to have the opportunity to document this amazing day in your lives! We’re ridiculously jealous of your week-long stay at Disney World, but that didn’t stop us from picking out a few of our favorite shots from your day …
Wow these are so great guys!
Wow! Absolutely stunning, there are so many beautiful photos here that there’s no way I would be able to choose a favourite. You did a great job!
