As Birmingham wedding photographers, these are the kinds of weddings we absolutely love capturing. Intentional, emotional, and beautifully true to each couple.

How Brady & Laurie Met
Brady and Laurie were introduced through Laurie’s sister, Emily. Which is proof that sometimes the best love stories start with a simple connection!
Emily and Brady worked together in the Emergency Department while Brady was in nursing school, and not long after, Brady made the drive about an hour and a half to Birmingham for their first date at Saw’s BBQ in Homewood.
Brady said he knew the date was going well when Laurie asked if he wanted to grab ice cream afterward. And from that moment on, the rest was history.
