Winter Wedding at the Grand Hotel | Chase + Mary Catherine

Winter Wedding at the Grand Hotel

 Winter Wedding at the Grand Hotel | Chase + Mary Catherine

They had waited for this day for years.  Finally, they would promise each other forever and marry the person of their dreams.  Chase and Mary Catherine have a beautiful love for each other that is one of a kind.  Their Winter Wedding at the Grand Hotel was timeless, fun, and full of life, just like these two!

I love that their story starts when they were still teenagers.  In the hearts of two young high schoolers, their love began.  My favorite part?  It didn’t stop there!  Now, years later, they are married, and their Winter Wedding at the Grand Hotel was such a lovely affair!  From the sparkling keds, to the beautifully arranged, dusty colored flowers, the Mary Catherine’s winter cape, and Chase’s smile… ah!  The details of this wedding day made it absolutely stunning in most every way.  Mary Catherine and Chase had a sweet and tender marriage ceremony at St Francis at the Point.  After their ceremony they invited guests to celebrate their marriage at The Grand Hotel in Point Clear for their reception.

Snow in the South

Little did we know that this Winter wedding at the Grand Hotel would actually be the COLDEST wedding day of the year!  Snow fell in the South the night before Chase and Mary Catherine said “I do”!  If you’re not from here, that doesn’t sound like the grandest news.  But, for those of us that live in near Southern Gulf Coast, having snow fall was our own little miracle. The cape that Mary Catherine wore to shield her from the cole might just be my favorite touch from this wedding!  She looked stunning, both with the cape and without it.

Mary Catherine’s Bridal bouquet perfectly complimented the colors and details of the day as well.  Wildflowers in Fairhope, Alabama did an incredible job crafting the floral pieces and bouquets!  Wait until you see them!  The day wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise, and coordinating of Jenna Laine Weddings, who allowed for Chase, Mary Catherine and their families to be fully present and enjoy the festivities!  All in all this day was a dream, and I can’t WAIT for you to see it!

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 !!
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who r I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who radiated so much JOY!  Alida + Noel wedding day was SUCH a fantastic celebration.  From the sentimental moments, to the ones that left you laughing, each part of the day was filled to the brim and overflowing with love and joy.  These two got married in Harrisonburg, VA surrounded by their family and friends.  It was SUCH a marvelous day.  Can you feel the love through the photos?  I might be biased— but I totally can!!

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✨🫶🏻
