Weddings at the History Museum of Mobile always have a special place in my heart—it’s truly one of my favorite venues to photograph. The architecture, the light, the character… it’s a dream for creating beautiful, timeless portraits. And this wedding was no exception.

The day started with such a fun, high-energy vibe. The bride and her girls spent the morning getting ready dressed in bold Barbie pink, complete with laughter, music, and even some jumping on the bed—yes, really! It made for the most fun, joy-filled photos. The bride’s mom helped her into her dress, creating a quieter, emotional pause before the day picked up speed.

The bride shared emotional first looks with both her dad and her brother—each one a reminder of how deeply loved she is. And when it came time for the first look with her groom, he made sure to keep it light and funny to help ease the nerves. It was such a sweet way to settle into the day together.

We took full advantage of the History Museum’s stunning spaces for portraits. Every corner has character, and I had so much fun capturing these two in such a unique and meaningful setting.

Their ceremony was short and sweet, but not short on emotion. The moment the bride walked down the aisle had her mom in tears, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the front row. Then came the party! The reception kicked off with the live band and the dance floor quickly filled up. From the first dance to the last song, it was clear this group came to celebrate—and they did just that.

It was such a joy to be a part of this day and to photograph a wedding that was equal parts stylish, emotional, and full of personality.
