There’s something so peaceful and romantic about the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and it was the perfect place to start Alyssa and Andrew’s engagement session. The greenery, the soft summer light, and all the blooming florals created a dreamy backdrop that matched this sweet couple’s energy so well.
Alyssa is one of those people who instantly makes you feel at home. We ended up chatting for over an hour on our consultation call, and it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. It was clear right away that she and Andrew are such a strong match—both kind, grounded, and so full of joy.










After exploring the gardens, we headed downtown to the beautiful Southside Baptist Church, a historic Birmingham favorite. The classic architecture and clean lines provided the perfect contrast to the organic feel of the gardens. Alyssa and Andrew looked effortlessly stylish and completely at ease, making for some truly timeless portraits.
They’re the kind of couple that radiates calm and connection. Every smile, glance, and quiet moment between them was so genuine—it’s exactly what I love to capture.












I’m already so excited for their wedding next year at Oak Meadow Event Center in Ohatchee, Alabama. If their engagement session is any reflection of what’s to come, I know it’s going to be an elegant, heartfelt celebration filled with laughter and love.
If you’re newly engaged and dreaming of a session filled with light, connection, and meaningful locations around Birmingham, I’d love to chat! Whether you’re thinking about the Botanical Gardens, a downtown spot, or somewhere completely unique to you, I’ll help you create a session that feels relaxed and true to your story.
