chris + abbey = marriage {huntsville, al}

chris & abbey are a beautiful couple who had an absolutely beautiful wedding. their special day was at the huntsville botanical gardens. let me just say, it was my first time there and i am SOLD. what an absolutely gorgeous venue. my assistant hanna and i could have walked around there forever. it was a photographers dream, so many beautiful & artistic places to take pictures. i could go on and on. but i won't, because the day was not about the gardens, but about this beautiful couple and the love that they share.

words like stunning, breathtaking, beautiful, & gorgeous do not even do abbey justice. i had a very hard time choosing a favorite bridal portrait of her because she looked perfect in every single one. that is not an exaggeration either. see for yourself :)

i loved the dresses that abbey picked for her bridesmaids and the colors looked great against all the greenery. the fact that all the guys wore white tuxes just added to the brightness & beauty of the day.

this is where the wedding was. told you- amazing! earlier in the day when we were scoping out photo options we saw how the whole area for the ceremony reflected in the water & knew we had to get a photo of that during the wedding. so, as i was up close & personal w/ the vows, hanna was kind enough to jog to the other side of the water & take this great shot!

such a fun wedding party!

the couple photographed just as beautifully together as abbey did in her bridals. and i had the same problem of not being able to choose just one favorite.

all the little details were in the same category as everything else from that day- stunning. the cake was simple & elegant and sat inside a cinderella carriage. the flowers were bright. there were floating candles, twinkle lights, & lanterns all over the reception. it was romantic & ethereal. a perfect way to end a perfect day.

congratulations chris & abbey! i pray a lifetime of love & blessings over you!

be blessed!
