Engagement Session

Melissa & Taylor’s Franklin TN Engagement Session

Published on September 19, 2018 by Heather Durham Photography1 Comment

I’ve known Melissa for years. We first met because of our mutual love of photography at a professional conference in Las Vegas. She is a sweet soul with the kindest heart and I’m thrilled she has found her soulmate in Taylor! She waited on the Lord and he gave her the desire of her heart.

Melissa and Taylor traveled from Birmingham to Franklin a few weeks ago for their Engagement Session and we had the best time catching up! I’m looking forward to their intimate wedding in Birmingham on December 1st.

Mary Lauren & Michael’s Memphis Engagement Session

Published on June 1, 2018May 31, 2018 by Heather Durham PhotographyLeave a comment

I love to travel and explore cities in the name of work. I haven’t been to Memphis since college, and I would be shooting on three different occasions in Memphis for Mary Lauren and Michael’s portraits and wedding, I decided to head over the day before their Engagement Session to get reacquainted with this cool southern city and Home of the Blues.

Mary Lauren and Michael are both from Memphis, so it was important to them that I capture some of the iconic locations in their Engagement Session like the pyramid, M Bridge, Peabody Hotel and Beale Street Landing. We also strolled the beautiful gardens at Memphis Botanic.

The thing I love most about an Engagement Session is the opportunity for me to get to know the couple better before their wedding day. I can’t wait to go back for Mary Lauren’s bridals at her family’s home in June and their wedding day in July. For now, let’s go walking in Memphis with this fun couple…

Sam & Cynthia – Franklin, TN Engagement Session

My first time meeting Sam & Cynthia was when they flew in from Houston for their Engagement Session here in Franklin, TN. They are Auburn grads who will be getting married in Birmingham this June, and will live in Houston. I had a great time getting to know them as we worked our way around the Westhaven Community, downtown Franklin, Harlinsdale Farm and ending in a field full of purple clover. I love it when the spring color starts popping out in March! Bring it on!

I had so much fun with Hamilton & Jake during their Engagement Session in downtown Franklin! I wasn’t available to shoot their upcoming wedding in Birmingham, but excited with them for their nuptials and move to Nashville. Glad we’ll have some more Birmingham natives in this town! They are such a sweet couple and it was fun roaming around on a beautiful fall afternoon with them. Jake is one lucky guy!

Cat & Chris’s Franklin TN Engagement Session

I met Cat through one of her best friends, Niki, who was another one of my Birmingham brides. Cat and Chris have been very patient, putting their wedding plans on hold while Chris has been in the service. He’s home now from duty and they are so excited to finally be able to have the wedding day they’ve been dreaming of!

Cat and Chris came to Franklin for their Engagement Session and I loved getting to know them better as we meandered around Westhaven and Harlinsdale Farm. They have such a sweet love for each other as you will see…

Katie & Matt’s Downtown Birmingham Engagement Session

Published on May 25, 2016July 6, 2017 by Heather Durham Photography1 Comment

Last month, I met these cute University of Alabama grads downtown for their Engagement Session. Katie, was a Crimsonette at Alabama, and Matt is a law student, so Katie came up with a cute idea for an image which represents their time at the U of A. When Katie showed up for our shoot in her Christian Louboutin shoes (a graduation present), I knew we were going to have a really good time showing them off.

I swear it might have been one of the easiest Engagement Sessions I’ve ever shot. They were such naturals in front of the camera! They roamed all over this town kissing and laughing while I clicked away. They needed very little coaching from me because their love was quite enough. You’ll see…

Can’t wait for the bridal session and December wedding with planner Handley Breaux Designs!!
