colorado springs & estes park

a few weeks ago we traveled out to colorado for wesley’s cousin’s wedding. it was a bit of a whirlwind, as we were mainly there for the wedding, but we wanted to cram as much into three days as we possibly could. this is a tiny glimpse into our trip (if you want to see more of our day to day: check out instagram). we flew into denver, proceeded to drive to colorado springs for a two day stay and then it was back up to estes park with our last night spent in denver. although not all of the teague family was in attendance (we missed you daniel & laura!), we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the lovely (read: lucky) weather that we experienced. there was a massive snow storm two days before we got there and again two days after we left, but while we were there it was 70 & sunny. we’ve already been traveling a lot this wedding season and this was only just the beginning – we’re excited to document our trips along the way and hopefully share more with you here!

one morning we journeyed to a kitschy, little town called manitou springs. all of the shops were closed so we decided to mosey the streets and came across an outdoor arcade which was deserted and had a bit of a errie feel to it.

and this, ladies and gents, is where the wedding ceremony took place (!!!) it was amazing. every photographer talks about how nice it is to attend a wedding and not be working, but really, this was such a nice respite. and, of course, we still carried our camera and took the opportunity to take pictures of all the beautiful people in our family.

what. a. hottie.

the boys missing wesley’s brother, daniel…

walking around garden of the gods in suits and heels will get you a lot of stares and weird looks.

and here begins our trek through estes park…

lastly, a pretty killer pano shot from wesley’s iphone!

Kelly Cummings - So gorgeous! You are making me want to move to Colorado (which would probably make my rock climbing husband very happy)! All of the color in these photos is killer!

arrtie & alex | a southern wedding with a twist | columbus, ms

arrtie & alex’s night was such a classy, southern event. although it was not, in fact, their wedding, it was a beautiful reception celebrating the civil vows they’d made a few months earlier. these two smarties are both doctors here in birmingham, so it was nice for them to get away and let loose with their family and closest friends. the celebration took place at a stunning antebellum home in the heart of historic columbus, mississippi – the beautiful private residence belongs to long time friends of the bride & groom.

everything was perfectly created and coordinated by the lovely m. elizabeth events, and don’t even get me started on the food by kathy g. and co, but more on that later… on another note, we loved the traditional Indian details and garb sported by arrtie her family that night. we were blessed to work with such a fun couple and such wonderful vendors – cheers to happy couple, arrtie & alex!

and now begins the moment where you feast your eyes on all of the delectable eats, if you need to go grab a snack, it’s understandable. i did.

yes, that is a wall of salad!

and the desserts, oh, the desserts!

kathy g. & co gets major brownie points in our book – no pun intended! i’m pretty sure wesley and i had one of each!

their tent was lined with over 2000 lights – a fun alternative to incorporating string lights into your decor & a photographer’s dream!

lauren & michael | engagement | birmingham, al

we’re really excited for the september wedding that these two are planning at swann lake stables. lauren has been such a joy to work with in these months leading up to the big day. lauren is thoughtful and kind and truly giddy to marry the man of her dreams, while michael is so great at supporting her throughout the whole process. after rescheduling their engagement session for a number of weather related reasons, we finally got a perfect (and very green) spring day!

the winter’s end | wedding | a cozy, southern styled shoot

We’re so excited to share this shoot with you today. It seems like it’s been months in the making, when in all actuality we put this together with an amazing team of professionals in two weeks! We’ve been waiting to share it for a number of reasons, but if I had it my way, I would have had it up on the blog within days after shooting – I’ve been so impatient!

This concept was born out of a desire to capture one last bit of winter before spring made her glorious appearance. We were inspired by the idea of a cozy, overcast day (which we were lucky enough to have on the day of our shoot), snuggly blankets and richly textured pillows, homemade desserts, warm drinks and an earthy color pallete with hints of winter’s deep evergreens. We wanted to encompass the style and personality of our ideal wedding. We found our amazing cabin (built in the 1800s) nestled in the rolling hills of Sweet Apple Farms just outside of Birmingham. Our models, Lindsey & Adam, are madly in love and engaged in real life – not to mention, a very handsome pair! The bride wore an Ivy & Aster gown (Borrowed from the lovely Ivory & White boutique) that exuded bohemian elegance. Kelly of Kelly Dellinger Events tied all of the elements together and truly brought our vision to life.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom for a full list of the amazingly, talented vendors involved in this shoot! Also, follow our Facebook Page for future updates about this shoot!

“Never are voices so beautiful as on a Winter’s evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.”

-Virginia Woolf

caroline & david | 3 year anniversary | oak mountain

caroline & david have a wedding anniversary coming up and thought what better way to celebrate than have some photos made – i couldn’t agree more. i think it’s a great idea to have portraits made every 2-3 years of your marriage, even if the only thing that changes is your hairdo.these two recently made the move to birmingham from sunny florida and while they said the winter was hard to adjust to, they have found themselves frequenting oak mountain state park when the weather is nice, so, naturally we decided to shoot there. hope you enjoy these colorful candids!
