Fairytale Engagement Session at Mosher Castle in Fairhope, Alabama | Kayla + Jerrad

5 Comments

Fairytale inspired engagement session featuring Kayla and Jerrad

“True love isn’t easy, but it must be fought for.  Because once you find it, it can never be replaced.”  -Prince Charming, Once Upon A Time

Kayla’s face illuminated with joy as Jerrad twirled her around.  We all watched as her dress flared and fell with the sudden burst of wind underneath it.  Her dreams of having a Fairytale Engagement session were coming true right before her eyes, and the happiness that radiated from her smile was abounding!  With Kayla’s princess curls and Jerrad’s Prince Charming stature, it was so easy to see why these two wanted to do a Fairytale inspired styled shoot for their engagement session!  The best part?  We photographed their engagement session at a CASTLE!

The Fairytale Castle

Dean Mosher is an artist in the Fairhope, Alabama area.  With a love for all things art, Dean created his home studio to reflect that of a Fairytale Castle.  Complete with mulit-colored shingles, a drawbridge, and tower, Dean’s handiwork is absolutely astounding.  The details he’s incorporated are truly enchanting, and he’s not finished yet!  One of the final details on the home is set to be completed this month!  A copper dragon will top one of the towers and truly add the most incredible touch to this Mosher Castle masterpiece !

The details from Kayla + Jerrad’s fairytale engagement session came together in such an authentic way.  For these two, life is too short to live life in anything other than a fairytale.  Kayla and Jerrad both treasure each other deeply, and they love anything that reminds them of the joy they bring to each other.  They became friends in high school, and that friendship blossomed into something more a year later.  Now, years after that, they are as in love as ever and planning a wedding!  It’s absolutely adorable to watch them interact!  From Jerrad’s noble presence and Kayla’s princess-like charm, these two really are the perfect match!

The best way to spend the day 🎃 The perfect fall The best way to spend the day 🎃 

The perfect fall day • hiking through the mountains • homemade costumes • intentionally visiting people we love • collecting leaves, treats & memories 🍁 🍬 🥾
Bare feet in a flower field, mountain air, golden Bare feet in a flower field, mountain air, golden light kissing cheeky grins, and the kind of laughter that makes you wish you could pause time.

The end of summer always feels a little bittersweet — a reminder that seasons change, little ones grow, and these ordinary moments become the memories we treasure most.

So here’s to an evening in the flowers, a golden sunset, and this beautiful, fleeting season of life. 🤍⛰️Want a session like this one ? I’m offering these in just a few weeks !!
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who r I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who radiated so much JOY!  Alida + Noel wedding day was SUCH a fantastic celebration.  From the sentimental moments, to the ones that left you laughing, each part of the day was filled to the brim and overflowing with love and joy.  These two got married in Harrisonburg, VA surrounded by their family and friends.  It was SUCH a marvelous day.  Can you feel the love through the photos?  I might be biased— but I totally can!!

Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit & the littles have their first day of school. 

So much joy filled our days this Summer. The beach. The lake. The river. Friends upon friends. Two lost teeth. Our first caught fish. The sprinkler in the backyard. Ella Langley on repeat. Learning to play games as a family. Friday fun nights.  So many adventures & not nearly enough time. We adventured. We tried new things. The sun bleached their hair & they each grew so much. 🥹☀️ 🌊
There’s something about fall that feels like comin There’s something about fall that feels like coming home.

Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, the golden light, or the way life naturally slows down after a busy summer. Whatever it is, this season has always been my absolute favorite. I get giddy just thinking about crisp mornings & cinnamon flavored things, crunchy leaves & flannel anything.

I love that fall invites us to gather around the table a little longer, cheer a little louder at football games, wander through pumpkin patches, and soak up the little moments that somehow become the biggest memories.

As a photographer, I get to witness this season through the eyes of so many wonderful families—and it’s a reminder every year that these moments are worth holding onto.

Tell me... half of you are ready for Fall to be here and half of you aren’t. Which team are you on ?! And what’s your favorite thing about fall? 🍂👇
Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four y Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four years of little Lina. Wow 🥹 She’s everything we prayed she would be & so much more. Lina is joyful, full of confidence, a lover of books , introverted & she’s never met a dog she didn’t like. Loving her is like watching your heart gain legs & curiously explore this big wonderful world. Our golden haired girl is so much fun. She loves “girl dates”, painting her nails, cooking with momma, anywhere there is water & “relaxing with a snack”. 

Angelina Joy, watching you bloom & grow is an honor. You radiate hope simply by being exactly who you are. I’m so abundantly grateful that I get to be your momma. 🫶🏻🐾🍓🌼🍭🫖

Young, wild and THREE ! Faith Marvelee you are al Young, wild and THREE !

Faith Marvelee you are all things vibrant, adventurous & you live life to the fullest. You are a living exclamation mark 🥹♥️ You have the biggest heart and love tending to those younger than you (babies). You love the idea of being a momma & are always quick to keep your siblings in line. Yo don’t do anything halfway- you’re ALL IN! If there is music, you’re dancing. If someone needs help, you’re the first to offer assistance. You rarely sit still & if you’re moving, you’re running. You’re my only child who potty trained in one week just because they wanted to! You’re spicy & fun, carefree and tender. I love you, little one. Cheers to three !!

Instagram went rogue & edited a handful of images in a weird black and white. Ooops !

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
