Are we a good fit?
You've probably heard it before... Choosing the right photographer is one of the most important things for your wedding. One day when you're old and gray, you want to make sure you've got beautiful, high quality images that captured all the love and emotion to look back on... right? Of course! But what you may not have heard is that making sure you and your photographer "click" is just as important!

Laura
Hey y'all! I hope to be your favorite portrait and wedding photographer!
Where I'm from: I was born in Florida, just minutes from Kennedy Space Center. I grew up watching shuttle launches and playing at the beach.
8 years ago, at 23 years old, ​I made the life-changing decision to relocate and start over, here in the beautiful state of Alabama, known as "The Cotton State". I always felt at home in the woods and mountains - oddly enough, since Florida doesn't have those.
I fell in love with shooting weddings because of the truly raw emotions throughout the day - and I want to capture every single one of them!
​
Some of my favorite things to do include horseback riding, hiking, reading, and trying new restaurants and cuisines! I'm a total foodie and will never turn down an opportunity to grab a bite to eat!

Justin
Justin, my hubby, is our lead Videographer AND my 2nd shooter at weddings!
He also tags along to most shoots to provide assistance however he can, which includes lugging around my gear, providing his services as a human GPS, and saying silly things to get as many big smiles for the camera as he can!
Some tidbits about Justin!
Born and raised in Alabama, Justin is of course, an Alabama football fan. He is a retired farrier and former correctional officer. He loves sushi and plays videogames in his free time.
