Joyful Fairhope Wedding at Sacred Heart Chapel | Sarah & Will

If I could sum up Sarah and Will in just a few words, it would be pure joy. The kind of joy that’s contagious and full of life—the kind that leaves you smiling long after the day is over.

From the moment I arrived at Sacred Heart Chapel in Fairhope, Alabama, everything about this day just felt happy. The love these two have for each other, for their families, and for life itself is something really special—and it absolutely shined through in every single photo.

A Joyful Spring Wedding Day

The weather couldn’t have been more dreamy for this spring wedding on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The timeline flowed seamlessly, the laughter never stopped, and the golden Fairhope sunset at the end of the day was absolute perfection. As a wedding photographer, these are the kinds of days I dream about—where every detail feels effortless, and every moment is filled with emotion.

A Cheerful Color Palette

One of my favorite parts of this wedding was the color palette. Soft blues paired with touches of buttery yellow—literally the perfect match for Sarah and Will’s personalities. Cheerful, light, and full of sunshine. 💙💛

These colors worked beautifully against the chapel’s classic white backdrop and the soft coastal light Fairhope is known for. It was the perfect Southern wedding aesthetic—romantic, joyful, and timeless all at once.

A Photographer’s Dream

Sarah and Will reminded me why I love what I do. Their wedding day was effortless to capture because they were fully present and genuinely enjoying every second. It wasn’t about the perfect poses—it was about laughter, connection, and the little in-between moments that made the day uniquely theirs.

And as a little bonus: scroll to the end of this post to see some of my very first film photography images from a wedding day. I’ve loved experimenting with film lately, and I’m so excited to start incorporating it more often. The way these images turned out is everything I hoped for—timeless, rich, and full of depth.

Sarah and Will—thank you for being such a beautiful reminder of joy. Your wedding day was filled with sunshine, laughter, and love, and I am so thankful I had the honor of capturing it all. Y’all made it easy.
