Katie & Taylor

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our weddings in 2012 than with Katie and Taylor! I don’t think we’ve ever shot a couple that was more in to each other than these two were. :-) From the moment I shot their engagement session last fall, I knew we’d be able to just sit back and document their day without having to worry about any posing. True to form, they couldn’t keep their eyes off of each other from the moment Katie came down the aisle.

Katie and Taylor said their “I Do’s” at the epic Independent Presbyterian Church in Highlands, followed by a blast of a reception at the Inverness Country Club! The weather was perfect, and the newlyweds danced into the night amongst some awesome family and friends! We’re excited to kick a new year of shooting of with a bang … so here’s a quick look at a few of our favorites from their big day!

2011 Favorites: The Couples

Yup, it was a good year for portraits! We were so blessed to shoot with some amazing couples in 2011, and they were gracious enough to trust us documenting one of the most important moments in their lives. Last year brought us 31 wonderful opportunities to witness our clients saying “I Do”, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experiences (and images) we came home with!

Ok, so we may have gone a little overboard in the reception category …

2011 was packed full of wonderful celebrations, details, dancing, cake fights and sparklers. We tried to narrow it down, but it’s not as easy as it looks! So sit back, and enjoy a ton of our favorite details and moments from last year’s receptions!

2011 was a banner year for the Simple Color Colorbooth! It made appearances at 13 weddings this past year, and came away with some fun, crazy, confusing, and “interesting” images. It took us a while to narrow down a few favorites, so make sure and take a peek at our Facebook albums if you want to see more of last year’s Colorbooth craziness!

2011 Favorites | The Ceremony

Brandon — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:34:58 +0000

One of our favorite images from every wedding is the frame of the newlyweds coming back down the aisle after they say “I Do”. It’s an amazingly candid moment … unscripted and full of happiness. :-) We’re also big fans of ceremony details, and the “occasional” ring shots. Here’s a few of our favorite ceremony shots from this past year …

2011 Favorites | Getting Ready

Brandon — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:20:31 +0000

We’ve already showed off some of our favorite engagement and lifestyle images from this past year, but wanted to dedicate the rest of this week to just wedding images. We opted to separate our favorites from 2011 into the different parts of the average wedding day … starting with getting ready shots. So here’s a mishmash of a select few frames that we loved looking at from the past wedding season …

We strayed away from family and lifestyle photography a little this past year, but still had some wonderful sessions in 2011! It’s probably not a fair comparison, but the arrival of our first nephew was, by far, the highlight of our portraits. I’m guessing it’ll be that way for a long while now. :-)

That said, we were also grateful for all of our clients and friends who celebrated babies, pregnancies, and all around great moments with family this past year…

2011 was one our favorite years for engagement sessions! We shot in some gorgeous places with some wonderful couples. We planned on posting our top ten favorites this past Monday … but after a couple of nights of bickering over which were our top 10 … we opted to just post a bunch of our favs, in no particular order. :-)

Our 2011 Couples

Brandon — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:35:21 +0000

We can’t believe 2011 has come and gone so quickly! We had an amazing year full of wonderful moments with some great couples! From our first wedding with Sarah and Greg, to our final wedding a few weeks ago with Elizabeth and Chris, we were blessed to document gorgeous ceremony after gorgeous ceremony all year long!

Over the next week we’ll highlight some of our favorites from our weddings, engagements, and family sessions. But in the meantime, we wanted to say a big thank you to the 31 couples who asked us to be part of an amazing moment in their lives.

Elizabeth & Chris

Elizabeth and Chris’s wedding day proved to be the perfect way to end our 2011 weddings! They were married in downtown Birmingham this past Saturday at the gorgeous South Highland Presbyterian Church. The weather was absolutely perfect for portraits, Elizabeth was stunning her gown, and Chris looked very dapper in his tux and black bow tie.

The grounds around South Highland are by far some of our favorites of any church in Birmingham. That said, you’ll probably notice a couple of extra portraits from their session thanks to the pretty backdrop. :-) The newlyweds hosted an elegant reception at the Hoover Country Club, which included a delicious formal dinner, some great toasts, and a night of dancing.

To Elizabeth and Chris, thank you so much for a memorable (and photogenic) end to 2011. We felt privileged to be part of your wonderful wedding day! Here’s a few favorites from this past weekend ….
