A Classic Heron Lakes Country Club Wedding | Mobile, Alabama Wedding Photographer | Meredith + Colby

Leave a Comment

rogersMeredith stepped into her wedding dress, the same dress that had been her mothers years before.  She took a breath and allowed those around her to pull it up and fasten it around her small frame.  Having been refitted, & redesigned, the elegance and timeless charm that had dressed her mother on her most special day, draped over Meredith in a similarly captivating fashion.  Slight exhales echoed around the room as eyes caught the dressed bride for the very first time.  The train filled the floor and Meredith smiled at her reflection.  The best day of her life was beginning and she had never felt more lovely.

Filled with intentionality and abounding in tender moments- that’s how I would describe the day that Meredith + Colby said “I do”.  From the birthday gift Meredith presented to me when I entered the room (she is the SWEETEST!) to the way Colby’s face lit up as he watched his bride walked down the aisle, it was the most wonderful day.  With a story that began in middle school, their love filled the gorgeous church and overflowed into the hearts of everyone attending the celebration.  I’m STILL swooning over the details and the wonderful people that were involved!

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 !!

Baby girl’s nursery is becoming quite lovely 🤍

And yes, this room doubles as our guest room. 🫶🏻

And no, guests won’t have to sleep with a baby in their room. 😉

Unless, of course, my mother in love is reading this. Then, of course you can have the baby in your room. 🥰
