Karah and Josh put so much trust into me for this session. We got off to a bit of a rocky start, as they were running late and it was already an unusually dark and rainy day, even for fall in Gadsden, Alabama. But the magic of fairy lights, high ISO, and a couple that loves each other pulled through and we were able to make the very best of it! We did their first look outside the Glasshouse, and then we were able to spend some time in the flower garden as well.

I wrote this guide during my time photographing in Alabama. I’m now based in Seattle, Washington, serving the Pacific Northwest — but I’ve kept this post up because it’s still helpful for couples planning weddings in the area. If you’re planning a Washington wedding, I’d love to connect!
