bryan + brigitte | durham north carolina engagement session

Shea — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:45:13 +0000

This was a very special shoot. I’ve known Bryan since 1st grade… we grew up just down the road from each other, and I left the country for the first time under his wing… and now, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come for one of my best friends… for Bryan has found his Brigitte. :) I can’t wait for their wedding this spring… and I actually get to ATTEND this one as a guest! These two couldn’t be more perfect for each other. View more of their Durham, North Carolina session here.

Just finished up part two of Allison and Daniel’s engagement session… we started this spring at their friend’s farm and finished up on a recent gorgeous afternoon in Port Royal and Adams, Tennessee. Can’t wait for their wedding in October… I just love these two. View more of their sweet session here.

It seemed like everyone was having a blast in the Boom Boom Booth this past weekend… just couldn’t resist making a little action movie of the photobooth at Megan and Eric’s Carnton Plantation wedding. Email the studio for more info on how to add this fun experience to your reception or event and view more of Megan and Eric’s wedding here.

Recently, I got to photograph the delicious new breakfast spot in Birmingham, owned by my friend Steven Jackson… Over Easy. We shot over 10 dishes from their menu and the interior of their fresh, clean and modern space. Steven’s wife and my good friend, Ashley, designed the logo and all the unique touches… especially fond of the gum-ball machine those gorgeous concrete countertops… If you’re ever passing through Birmingham, it’s a MUST EAT! YUM.

morgan + ed | dover tennessee engagement session

Shea — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:00:20 +0000

So excited about Morgan and Ed’s wedding tomorrow… wanted to share a few of their engagement session from this spring, that we shot (near and on) the front porch of their home in Dover, Tennessee.

lauren + tommy | a kennedy inspired engagement session

Shea — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 19:24:17 +0000

I get so excited when my couples have an idea or theme to work with. Lauren and I started sending images back and forth months ago… an engagement session to capture Southern charm; classic and timeless… with a style inspired by Jackie and JFK. View more of Lauren and Tommy’s sweet little session here.

kat + mat | gulf coast engagement session

Shea — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 21:34:51 +0000

Squeezed in an adorable engagement session while at the beach last week, on vacation… wait… what’s a vacation? Of course I still worked! Kathryn and Mat drove over from Mobile and we ventured all over Alys and Rosemary Beaches (gorgeous couple + gorgeous scenery + a beer or two = a blast).

I’m heading to New Orleans in a couple days to document their wedding and can’t wait. Thought I would share the spreads for their guestbook design… I include these photo-books with every wedding package and it’s a great way to share your engagement photos, for guests to write notes in, advice, etc… MUCH more fun to look at later than a ton of lined-up names on a page!
