SEASONAL SESSIONS

“I had this vision of my wedding for years,” Kat says. “That it would be my friends and family and loved ones all dancing barefoot on the grass. I remember having a moment at the reception where I realized that was exactly what was happening and that it was even more wonderful than I imagined.”

“the whole wedding day to me was perfect and beautiful. But my favorite moment of the ceremony was towards the end when we were praying; DJ and I had our foreheads against each other and I peeked down and saw our hands together with our wedding bands on. It was something only I could see from my perspective and made me feel like we were the only two people there…”

Harper and Matt met at freshman orientation at Samford University, and had dated for four and a half years before they got engaged. Matt planned his proposal at . . .

“My favorite moment was the first look,” Matt says of the day he married Laura. “I had been anticipating that moment for 8 months.” . . . 

There’s something to be said for subtleties: the type of beauty that doesn’t jump out at you, waving it’s arms and saying “look at me, I’m pretty!” – but instead just sits there, patiently, knowing it’s lovely and waiting for you to discover it. In today’s wedding, it’s all about those subtle beauties, the delicate and the fragile, the unassuming and the lovely . . .

Have you ever experienced one of those rare moments of pure happiness, that you just keep coming back to think on it? Today’s wedding had a handful of those…

The weather on the day of this engagement shoot was blustery, but that just made shooting these two all the more cosy! I loved that they got to interact with the animals on the farm at Belle Meadows, and incorporate those shots in the session. Overall, the day had an English-countryside-esque outcome that we love, with all the brusque Winter character of the barren woods contrasting the warm familiarity of a farm house + delicately strung lights. Cosy cuddles on hay bales just add to the fun. What more could you want for a Autumn/Winter Engagement?

 

Harper and Matt were such a sweet couple to photograph! Their love for each other is so obvious, which makes my job as photographer that much easier.
