Mary & Jim in Foley, Alabama

Wes and I took a short road trip to Foley, AL to photograph the wedding of Mary & Jim. It's always a mystery when we go to shoot a wedding for people that we haven't met....but, we were definitely pleased when we saw such a sweet, cute couple. They have such a sweet story too! They have known each other since grade school and their families have been waiting a long time for this wedding. Jim works at a camera shop and is very interested in photography so we were honored that they chose us.


Meet the groom Jim! He is so handsome and is a sweet as he looks!


These shoes belonged to Jim's grandfather.....how cool?


They saw each other before the wedding which gave us time for some great shots....


It was really windy so we played with Mary's beautiful veil...




Wesley caught a shot of her through a palm....I like to call him the paparazzi!


I LOVE the moments just before that walk down the aisle....


Her mom and dad walked with her.... sweet The candle to the right was lit in honor of Jim's best friend who was deployed to Iraq.




This cake was absolutely happening.... It was made for photos!


After the reception we headed to Gulf Shores for some beach shots...


I think the next 15 minutes were the highlight of the day. What a gorgeous yet dreary sunset we had.....








They drove away with their own stick figure likeness on the window thanks to their friends ;-)
