Mayfield Vintage


In a recent initiative to promote local Birmingham stores and vendors with photography and features, my friend, Megan LaRussa of Southern Femme, and I have united our forces. Megan is an excellent stylist (I must admit my inferior wardrobe skills made me a bit skeptical when I saw the outfits she and Savannah, her intern, put together for this shoot), and Hayley and David of Mayfield Vintage were awesome guinea pigs for our collaboration. I had seen their etsy shop online and met the two of them at Bottletree's craft bazaar a few months ago (it should be a bizarre, in my opinion), and their style lent itself very well to our aesthetic. The clothes speak for themselves, so I'll try to be minimal in my conversating.


Be sure to visit the Mayfield Vintage Etsy shop for the items above (obviously they are one of a kind since the pieces are vintage, but currently the Striped Jewel Tone Summer Dress and Rose Blouse are listed, and several of the others to come. They have a ton of other really cute clothes as well, I'm loving the sailor blouse, barefoot originals red sandals, and the blood orange tunic blouse. Plus, Mayfield Vintage is local to Birmingham and both Hayley & David are really cool people. If you want to inquire about one of the pieces above (blouses, tees, skirts and dresses all by Mayfield Vintage, most accessories & pants belong to the models) you can contact via etsy or by email, mayfieldvintage(at)gmail(dot)com.

Enormous thanks to Hayley, David, Emily, Megan, Savannah, Rachel, Kendrick, Lillian, and Garrett for making this shoot happen.

Erica & Yorgos: Ceremony

The best part. Erica had been planning the look of the ceremony for months and I really love her all white theme. The bridesmaids and groomsmen in white and the bride and groom in a champagne/khaki set look amazing together. It made for such a classy look, and subtle is the new black. Sorry to inundate the blog with images, but I'm in love love love with this wedding, if you couldn't tell already.


A never-before event on the blog, this image was taken by my darling husband, Garrett! He's a natural with the camera and I'm so lucky I got to take him along as my second-shooter. I'm hoping I can convince him that he's in love with it too, because every time I'm at a wedding my heart beats fast as I watch a couple in love and think about us. It's really good therapy for people in relationships, it reminds you of the good things and I love it!





I love the look on Yaya's face.


At the beginning of the ceremony the rings were passed around to each guest so that they could bless the rings. I freaked out a little at the rehearsal when I heard that it was going to happen (what if someone drops the rings!) but of course it went without a hitch (except for the actual hitching, which happened later). It was a really special part of the ceremony and it's great that the group was small enough to make it a reality.






Erica's dad read a passage of scripture and Yorgos's dad officiated!







Pay close attention to the blonde groomsman.



He was our major excitement for the day, as he passed out halfway through the ceremony. Apparently the same thing happened at Yorgos's parents' wedding, so it must be lucky.







Here's a final image from Garrett as well. I better watch out, he's got some skills.
