Black Tie Wedding at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama – Mary Michael + William

Leave a Comment

There’s really nothing quite as magical as a Southern wedding, is there? Mary Michael and William’s wedding day was full of special moments and intimate details that created a magic that would rival any fairytale.

Mary Michael and William chose traditional, Southern details to compliment their venues and style. Mary Michael was stunning in her gorgeous bridal gown with lace overlay and satin button details. Her elegant gown was purchased from one of the most popular and chic bridal shops in Mountainbrook- Ivory and White Boutique.  Blush and gold hues adorned the bridal party and show-stopping florals – white ranunculus, hydrangeas, and roses, pink roses and peonies, and sprigs of eucalyptus. These dreamy florals were arranged by none other than the ever talented Wildflowers, Fairhope.

The couple hosted their wedding ceremony at the stunning St. Francis at the Point in Fairhope, Alabama.  St. Francis at the Point has become a consistently popular location for Southern Alabama brides and it’s so easy to see why.  The classic nature of the ceremony spot, paired with its reverence is the perfect ceremony location for Christian brides.   

The newlyweds continued their celebration at The Grand Hotel –  a beautiful venue located on Mobile Bay. Adorned with gorgeous landscaping and lush greenery, the venue also boasts an iconic and engaging history making it a perfect location for any Alabama wedding.  Guests enjoyed a magnificent reception filled with the yummiest food, the most incredible reception band, and fun activities like an interactive photo booth.  

Mary Michael and Williams wedding day was so tastefully planned by Jenna Laine and her crew.  It was easily one of the most magnificent weddings of the summer!

The best way to spend the day 🎃 The perfect fall The best way to spend the day 🎃 

The perfect fall day • hiking through the mountains • homemade costumes • intentionally visiting people we love • collecting leaves, treats & memories 🍁 🍬 🥾
Bare feet in a flower field, mountain air, golden Bare feet in a flower field, mountain air, golden light kissing cheeky grins, and the kind of laughter that makes you wish you could pause time.

The end of summer always feels a little bittersweet — a reminder that seasons change, little ones grow, and these ordinary moments become the memories we treasure most.

So here’s to an evening in the flowers, a golden sunset, and this beautiful, fleeting season of life. 🤍⛰️Want a session like this one ? I’m offering these in just a few weeks !!

Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit & the littles have their first day of school. 

So much joy filled our days this Summer. The beach. The lake. The river. Friends upon friends. Two lost teeth. Our first caught fish. The sprinkler in the backyard. Ella Langley on repeat. Learning to play games as a family. Friday fun nights.  So many adventures & not nearly enough time. We adventured. We tried new things. The sun bleached their hair & they each grew so much. 🥹☀️ 🌊
There’s something about fall that feels like comin There’s something about fall that feels like coming home.

Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, the golden light, or the way life naturally slows down after a busy summer. Whatever it is, this season has always been my absolute favorite. I get giddy just thinking about crisp mornings & cinnamon flavored things, crunchy leaves & flannel anything.

I love that fall invites us to gather around the table a little longer, cheer a little louder at football games, wander through pumpkin patches, and soak up the little moments that somehow become the biggest memories.

As a photographer, I get to witness this season through the eyes of so many wonderful families—and it’s a reminder every year that these moments are worth holding onto.

Tell me... half of you are ready for Fall to be here and half of you aren’t. Which team are you on ?! And what’s your favorite thing about fall? 🍂👇
Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four y Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four years of little Lina. Wow 🥹 She’s everything we prayed she would be & so much more. Lina is joyful, full of confidence, a lover of books , introverted & she’s never met a dog she didn’t like. Loving her is like watching your heart gain legs & curiously explore this big wonderful world. Our golden haired girl is so much fun. She loves “girl dates”, painting her nails, cooking with momma, anywhere there is water & “relaxing with a snack”. 

Angelina Joy, watching you bloom & grow is an honor. You radiate hope simply by being exactly who you are. I’m so abundantly grateful that I get to be your momma. 🫶🏻🐾🍓🌼🍭🫖

Young, wild and THREE ! Faith Marvelee you are al Young, wild and THREE !

Faith Marvelee you are all things vibrant, adventurous & you live life to the fullest. You are a living exclamation mark 🥹♥️ You have the biggest heart and love tending to those younger than you (babies). You love the idea of being a momma & are always quick to keep your siblings in line. Yo don’t do anything halfway- you’re ALL IN! If there is music, you’re dancing. If someone needs help, you’re the first to offer assistance. You rarely sit still & if you’re moving, you’re running. You’re my only child who potty trained in one week just because they wanted to! You’re spicy & fun, carefree and tender. I love you, little one. Cheers to three !!

Instagram went rogue & edited a handful of images in a weird black and white. Ooops !

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
