A Battle House Renaissance Hotel Wedding in Mobile, AL | John + Tammy

Battle-House-Wedding-Mobile-Alabama-Military-125

I got the call at 10:30pm on a Friday night.  My plans for Saturday had fallen through, so when I heard Tammy’s voice on the other end of the phone, I knew there was a reason for it, ” Anna, I’m getting married tomorrow, and we don’t have a photographer,”

She was sweet and sincere, patient and kind, and my heart melted as soon as she explained the story.  She needed a photographer for her wedding day- hers had fallen through- and she was so very excited to start life with the man that had taken her breath away….

That’s when she told me about John.

Their romance started in high school.  John and Tammy were fond of each other all those years ago, but life pulled them in opposite directions, to pursue different things.  Years later, they reconnected.  They were friends, genuinely interested in knowing the ins and outs of where life had brought them.  Kids, careers, the military… these were things that dotted their everyday now.  Their friendship continued to grow and flourish as they shared life together, healed together and – of course- laughed together.  John had a way of making Tammy sparkle from the inside out, and Tammy had a way of making John feel like the most important man in the world….

As their friendship deepened and grew,  they treasured each other more and more as time passed by….  It was as if the world was made right when they had the other by their side.  Then, John asked Tammy to be by his side forever…. and Tammy said yes!

Photographing their big day was such a beautiful gift!  Though we had never met before, I felt as if I had known them for months.  John and Tammy’s Big Day turned out to be one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing.  That’s the blessing of it all- John and Tammy are like that.  They make life more wonderful, more fun, and they invite people to join in on the beauty of it all!

    What a perfect spot for a wedding. Your photos always make me want to get married again just so you can take my photos.

This girl is officially on maternity leave ! ✌🏻 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have had SO much fun photographing my clients, traveling & doing what I love during my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. My body has been pushed to the limit with 8-12 hour wedding days with my sweet little “plus one” safely housed in my belly. But y’all— I did it !! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the next few months I’ll be taking time to focus on my family of five (!!!🥰!!!) and rest. I’ll still be checking emails, & supporting my brides, but my email & response time will be slower than normal. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soon & very soon we will be meeting out sweet little girl & I cannot wait to introduce you to her. 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be on the lookout for mini session dates later this Summer !!!!

(& yes I did wear the same two amazing dresses all month, thank you very much 🥰)
About last night.... ⭐️🤍👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️
 
To say yesterday was incredible would be an understatement.  Allison and Justin's wedding day was full of wonderful people, beautiful details and so much LOVE.  I cried on and off the whole time (and lets not even bring up the fact that I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant) ;) !  I am so honored to have photographed such a beautiful day filled with such wonderful people!!
 
A special thanks to the amazing wedding vendors that I had the joy of serving alongside!!

Caitlin & Brad met me in Charlottesville, Virginia for their engagement session. They sipped wine at @kingfamilyvineyards , and we photographed the most beautiful session , all while it rained !! Can you believe it ?! We had 10 minutes of sunshine at the very end of our time together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the rain didn’t steal their joy ! If anything , the cloud cover made for creamy skin tones and vibrant colors that truly showcased their precious personalities!! I cannot wait for their wedding next May !!
