Audie + Melanie | Wedding

Not long after I got the call to photograph Audie & Melanie’s wedding in the Gulf Shores of Alabama the BP oil catastrophe happened. You bet we were all watching the news threads daily for updates. A week prior I did their Engagement Session and things were still looking good. Fortunately the beaches were not affected Memorial weekend for their celebration!

Melanie LOVES the beach! The morning of each wrote a special message to each other in a bottle.

The morning was very emotional and full of sentiment!

Melanie & Audie decided to do a “First Look” Session. My favorite!!!

This makes me smile.

Melanie was a radiant Bride!

Vibrant floral color choices really enhance beach weddings!

Audie chose to wear traditional Philippine attire. Stunning!

So beautiful together, aren’t they?

Melanie’s something blue was worn on her feet! The barefoot sandals were crafted by Tina, Moon Twinkles.

It was a perfect day for a beach wedding.

The ceremony and reception took place at the Dunes & Indies Condominiums in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Audie’s mom prepared an amazing meal of traditional foods. Yum! I normally don’t get seconds at weddings, but this day I did!

Thank you Audie & Melanie for including me in your celebration! More images may be viewed in the gallery.

(Rotate screen) This year I was a bit ambitious. In-between school drop off and pickup one day - I designed a “look book” for the sunflower festival. There is a spread that shows how the lighting in the field changes by the half hour and sun vs overcast days. I’ll have a copy at the photo sign in table and my pod for those that would like to turn it’s pages… and maybe even see yourself as I know I have a lot of repeat clients each festival 🌻
Every wedding has that photo… this was theirs.

The one that somehow holds everything—the energy, the calm, the just-married feeling you can’t quite put into words.

But the truth is, it’s never just one moment.
It’s a whole in-between chapter.

The quiet moments, the laughter, the “what do we do with our hands?”
The way it all unfolds naturally when you’re just being together.

Part 1: finding the light, settling the nerves, easing into it.
Part 2: where the magic sneaks in ✨

This is what your portrait gallery can feel like.
