Lauren + Jeff 05.10.08

We're back with Lauren and Jeff, and their adorable back yard wedding.  All of the pomp and circumstance with weddings is a beautiful thing, from the satin and lace to the confection cake concoctions.  But every now and then, it's refreshing to see a couple approach their wedding with elegant simplicity and really focus on the ultimate agenda of joining two lives forever.  Take a look at some of my faves from their day, and keep reading for more on the Larkins and their expanding family!

Introducing Maleigh Jaye!

I'm excited to introduce the newest edition to my extended family, Miss Maleigh Jaye.  Maleigh is the daughter of my cousin, Misty, and her husband, Jason.  She is also the fourth great-grandchild, and the only girl on that list.  So that means pink is a must after having such a long run of little boys!  We had a fantastic newborn session, bringing in some vintage elements, and a lot of girlie accents.  Below are some of my favorites, as well as a slideshow of their session highlights!

 

Krystal + Ron 05.10.08

We're back again!  Summer is always our busiest season, so blogging is starting to become more of a luxury these days.  Just to keep the flow going, some of these entries over the next few weeks are going to be short and sweet, letting our readers get to know our work, as well as a little about some of our clients.

Krystal and Ron were married in 2008.  They were our first wedding at the beautiful Historic Lowry House in downtown Huntsville.  It was a gorgeous day, and the Smith-Evans guests enjoyed the afternoon sun during the outdoor reception.  Every wedding has something unique and memorable to us.  For this event, it was the food!  Krystal's mother catered the event.  As an avid sampler of wedding cuisine, I can say with confidence that wedding food is either tasty or pretty, rarely ever both.  However, that day, not only did everything look awesome, it was sinfully delicious.  Five stars for Mrs. Smith!

Expecting Ernestine Camille

We're back again with Charlene and Trey!  The Barneys are expecting their first little bundle of joy any day now.  The couple asked us to photograph this next big event on the anniversary of their previous family milestone; the couple's 2 year wedding anniversary.  We enjoy a spring stroll through the park, talking about doctor visits and family names, and the general excitement of anticipating that first child.  Charlene and Trey are going to be wonderful parents.  We can't wait to meet Ms. Ernestine Camille!

Charlene & Trey 04.04.09

Charlene and Trey have been another fantastic couple that has stuck with Simpkins Photography over the years.  We met Charlene at a Huntsville bridal fair.  After our first consultation, we knew it was going to be a great fit.  They are just wonderful, sweet people; the kind of clients photographers hope for.  We were invited to photograph their Birmingham wedding in the spring of 2009.  Charlene had prepped for the big day down to every last detail, including finding a beautiful spot to take the wedding party for some fun photos.  This still remains one of my favorite outdoor locations.  Just the size of the fountains bring an epic feel to the whole session.  My favorite point during the whole day was the private time with just the couple.  Charlene and Trey were truly enjoying their experience, laughing and being so affectionate.  You can tell that each of them knew how lucky they were to find their perfect match.  Have a look at some of our favorites from the Barney wedding, and keep reading to see the Barney maternity session as Charlene and Trey prepare to welcome their first child soon!
