Portraits

I’m not sure you’re ready for this blog post. It contains an image from every portrait session I photographed in 2023 and a highlight of every wedding. The reason I love photographing in Birmingham, Al is because you can drive just about anywhere in 15 minutes and have all sorts of scenery options at your fingertips. From the sunsets at Crest Road and crunchy fall leaves at Samford, to the downtown pedestrian bridge views to the cobblestone Morris Avenue, it’s essentially the best place to live. I’m so thankful for everyone who gave me the privilege of celebrating them in each season!

 

 

Weddings

In 2023, there was a noticeable shift towards authenticity and personalization in wedding photography. Couples embraced unique settings, incorporating elements that reflected their individuality and love stories. From breathtaking outdoor ceremonies to ceremonies in churches with much meaning … it was truly a year I’ll never forget. Are you ready for a recap?
