Bridal Portrait – Bonnie November 24, 2009

Bonnie was absolutely breathtaking in her bridal portraits! We just had to share one… can you believe how beautiful her eyes are and how they just POP in that picture!?!

Dionne and David November 24, 2009

Dionne and David were married on Thursday, November 19, at Gabrella Manor.

The manor sits on the northeast side of Birmingham, Ala., and was built in 1938.  Aside from a beautiful setting, we also had a beautiful bride. She chose a simple dress and great headpiece with a birdcage veil. The style of the dress fit with the Manor beautifully. It truly was like stepping back in time. It was simple and classic. Think Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O.

It was a small gathering of immediate family and a few close friends. Dionne’s daughter looked awesome when she decided to wear the veil.

In the short time we were with them you could tell that Dionne and her daughter and David and his son had special relationships. These four together make a great little family!

Thanks for letting us share in this special time in your life! Congratulations Dionne and David!

Family Photos- The Williams November 24, 2009

We shot the Williams family last week at the Depot and it was great! Smith had a great time with the caboose and all the rocks and leaves there were to throw. It was especially thrilling when the real train passed by no more than 20 feet from us. Then the firetrucks that crossed over the bridge and the airplane that flew over… it was every little boys’ dream! (And every photographer’s dream too! So many great things to keep him smiling and enjoying himself!)

Here are just a few of the photos from the shoot for your viewing pleasure.
