Being a photographer who is new to Birmingham, Alabama I love exploring all the different locations we have at our disposal for portrait sessions. Avondale Park was next on my list & Kayla & Garrett were on board for an adventure. To which I am so glad!

We started their Birmingham engagement portrait session in Avondale Park. From the stone amphitheater to the little creek, treasures were everywhere. It’s like we jumped across the pond to somewhere over in England, you know the cute little towns where epic love stories are written.

Kayla & Garrett have been dating for 6 years. They met through mutual friends & after just three dates she knew. Garrett was soon to follow, “I love how she loves me for me. She doesn’t try to change me.”

^ Adding this portrait to my all time favorite black & white portraits.

We stumbled upon this little sunflower garden & had to stop. Garrett used a bouquet of 24 sunflowers, her favorite, and one rose to propose.

Thanks for spending your afternoon roaming around Avondale with me! I cannot wait for your fall wedding in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
