PUBLISHED IN ALABAMA WEDDINGS

Ellie and Matt kicked off their destination wedding weekend with portraits before their Rehearsal Dinner in Alys Beach, where her family has a home. Right as we began shooting, a marine layer rolled in (cue Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic”). I love the misty moodiness it gave their images. We roamed the pathway in front of the house where they laughed, sipped on champagne and walked hand-in-hand amidst the beautiful architecture that is Alys. February is the best kept secret on 30A, especially for a wedding! The last two years I have photographed weddings on this same weekend with perfect 71 degree temps and sunshine. Cheers to winter weddings at the beach!
