Ronella & Skyler [engagement]

So excited that Ronella and Skyler picked me to photograph their wedding. From the very first meeting I had with them, I went on about how cool their names are.  Ronella’s sister is a fantastic family photographer in Birmingham and wanted to do the photographs but she’ll actually be IN the wedding.  So Ronella picked me! Woot!

Ronella and Skyer both are just fun, passionate people that are completely, madly in love with one another. It was definitely a joy to be around them and photograph their session.  We were having so much fun, it was hard to be serious at times! The results I couldn’t be more thrilled with! Check out a few of my favorites below!

After hanging downtown for a while, we went up to Lookout Mountain to finish our session at Sunset Rock. What a beautiful place!

We hiked in and knew I was in trouble when I had to go back up to the top.  Talk about winded! But I finally made it.

It’s so hard to choose my favorites. I was about to put “I love this photo!” above every one of them but decided I didn’t want to annoy my blog readers.  Hope you enjoyed the photos. Check back for their wedding photos in May of next year. It can’t get here fast enough!
