My colors aren’t pink and pink, they’re blush and bashful!  That’s probably one of my favorite lines from Steel Magnolias and this is probably one of my favorite weddings to date!  I love color, especial when that color is pink!  Carrie and Brett sprayed the city of Birmingham pink, pink and more pink for their […]

Harrison and Matt had a gorgeous wedding day, perfect conditions for some of my very favorite wedding photos. St. Mary’s Church is architecturally divine, and the ivy crawling up the walls is reminiscent of Oxford. This didn’t feel like a Birmingham wedding, but, rather, one fit for the royal family. Mariée Ami Wedding Planning Studio was the […]
