Just last week, I tweeted that I was on my way to shoot the Alabama wedding of my favorite Southern Belle, Brooke! Well, here she is! No, it’s not the wedding yet. Oh, how I wish I was that fast! It’s actually the Nashville Bridal Session we did a couple of weeks back. Although Brooke hails from teeny tiny Section, Alabama (yes, it’s as small as the name sounds), she’s got a personality & smile that light up the entire South! She’s quite a beauty too! We started this day off at an AMAZING Bill Chapman Estate in the heart of Brentwood, followed by a short trek over to the beautiful Wolf Den Farm. Brooke was quite the trooper, managing to look gorgeous all day, in spite of some serious humidity & afternoon showers. I can’t wait to share some of the wedding day pictures! Stay tuned…

Serena Robbins - Joy Marie, this shoot is fantastic. Not only is the bride absolutely gorgeous, but the shoot feels like you’ve brought your West Coast FASHIONISTIC flavor to the South! We need more of this down here!!! Love it!!
Jenny - OMG- she’s gorgeous and the pics are AHHHMAZING!
Rhonda Johnston - You never cease to amaze joy marie. Beautiful bride, beautiful setting, amazing pics. I can’t wait to see what the wedding looks like. If this is what Brooke looks like when it’s rainy & humid, I’m seriously jealous of what she’s like when it’s 70 degrees and dry. WOW!!
Rosemary Hayes - I live in Huntsville and am so jealous that you were here and I didn’t get to meet you. I found out about you from an acquaintance of her fiance’ and have been stalking your blog ever since. Your work is just so beautiful and Brooke is AMAZINGLY gorgeous.
Jessie - Bringing that LA flavor to the South. Love it!!
Janet Linville - The engagement photos were beautiful, with so much fun and energy. The bridal portraits are gorgeous…Can’t wait to see shots from the wedding.
Brenda Brown - I know how beautiful Brooke is, and you have done an outstanding job portraying this beauty. All photos I’ve viewed thus far have been outstanding with varied scenery. I am anxious to see what you have done with the actual wedding photos. Can you really beat these???
Colleen Hopwood - Joy Marie, You took the most beautiful pictures of my favorite little bride. She is a joy to work with isn’t she. You will do very well here. Let me know if I can help you with anything.
Sincerely,
Colleen Hopwood
