IMG_7522 While I was visiting my awesome friend, Amelia during one of my favorite trips ever, I got to help her out and photograph Emily and Matt’s wedding. And just like I fell in love with everything else in Birmingham, I fell in love with these two as well. Not to mention, their friends, the beautiful church, their wedding details, the food, the colors, everything really! Emily started the day at this salon, and just look at what a gorgeous day it was! OakStreet IMG_7259 After the salon we left for the church where she finished getting ready: IMG_7303 IMG_7306 Her shoes were so adorable! IMG_7282 Amelia made fun of me for loving all the fall leaves so much, but when you live around cactus you kind crave these things. IMG_7273 Matt’s gifts to Emily: IMG_7380 Their first look was soo touching. Can’t you just see how much he adores her?!! IMG_7368 Hmmm, seriously, just how cute can a couple be? IMG_7405 And super sweet too! IMG_7410 We then headed outside for some portraits: IMG_7424 A few candids of Emily while she watched Amelia photograph Matt: emilyflowers I loved these leaves under her bouquet! I have no idea what they are called, but if any of you flower experts know what this is, can you leave a comment below please? IMG_7447 IMG_7465 IMG_7474 IMG_7480 Emily was just so happy all day she was literally skipping through the streets during portrait time: IMG_7484 I love this wall Amelia found and I love it how Matt is just cracking up over something Amelia said. IMG_7494 IMG_7508 Emily was such a great bride! Look at her sitting on the ground in her wedding dress and as happy as can be :) IMG_7517 Orange being my favorite color, I LOVED her color scheme! IMG_7535 I had a great time photographing Matt’s portraits: IMG_7550 Some guy details… IMG_7607 And some girl details. Can you believe Emily made those gorgeous necklaces for her girls?! Loved them! IMG_7671 And just one more shot of the pretty pink/orange leaves I am obsessed with: IMG_7455 IMG_7714 I asked her to wear her basket like a purse for me and look at all the cuteness she came up with! flowergilremily Such cute girls! IMG_7823b IMG_7877 IMG_7858 While Amelia got ready for the ceremony I got to do a big bridal party shot. I LOVE big group shots! And do you see Dakota Fanning on the right? IMG_7935 I wasn’t allowed to take photos during the ceremony but I snapped this one through the window: IMG_7966 Mr and Mrs! IMG_7972 Pretty awesome party! Emily&MattReception Elizabeth reminds me of Reese Witherspoon! She was so much fun! IMG_8197 Emily dancing with her dad: IMG_8058 One of the funniest bouquet tosses ever! IMG_8231 IMG_8244 Morgan’s boyfriend caught the garter. I guess she’s getting married… IMG_8255 Congrats you two. It was such an honor to participate in your day. Amelia, thank you so so much!

    2. Love, love, love. Each one more than the one before it! And of course jealous that you got to work alongside the awesome Amelia. I especially adore the two detail shots of their waists and flowers together- it really pulls you right in. And was that really Dakota Fanning?

    46. Great pictures but how could you go wrong with the subject matter you had to work with?!

      Also, my mom used to grow those same purple/red “fuzzy” flowers you fell in love with. We called them “coxcombs”…like on a rooster. Not sure what the “actual” name of them are.
