Alisa — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:55:57 +0000

Welcome 2012! 2011 definitely went by like a flash and 2012 has a lot to live up to! I have some very big announcements and big changes for 2012 and I couldn’t be more excited! Soooo, What is it???

Alisa Lynn Photography and Jessi D Photography have combined our talents to form a new brand of Southern wedding photography with High Cotton Photography.

What does this mean? Well, it depends on who you are.

If you are one of my amazing 2012 brides… you’ve got great timing! This new partnership means that you will not only have me shooting your wedding, but Jessica too! *unless your wedding is on a date that she had previously booked. It also means that you will see our transition as I start blogging and updating Facebook under our new brand. For all of my ALP past clients, it means that online proofing will still be up at least throughout the end of this year as I finish up previous bookings. All new weddings will be posted and proofed on the High Cotton Site.

If you are engaged and looking for a wedding photographer… don’t wait any longer. Contact us now as our 2012 calendar is booking quickly.

If your a fan and want to stay up-to-date with what I’ve been shooting… you should go like us on Facebook, tweet us on Twitter and check out our new website.

What it means for me is that my job just got way more fun and I get to offer you an even better experience! It also means that I will be blogging over on the High Cotton Photography blog. Make sure to check it out!

Special thanks to Courtnie from Poppy Pedals who worked with us to create the High Cotton Photography brand!

Out of Office

Alisa — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:44:28 +0000

Laura+Justin=Married!

Alisa — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:49:36 +0000

I have been looking forward to Laura and Justin’s wedding for a while. Laura and Justin are both photographers. As many of you know, Laura has shot with me for almost two years now. During that time, I have heard bits and pieces of all of the details that she and Justin were planning for their wedding. I knew it was going to be great! In fact, it was so great that when I decided to blog, I had over 200 photos tagged. I think I had to narrow down the list at least 3 times to finally decide what to blog.

Laura and Justin were married at The Oaks Plantation in Montgomery, AL. We had a true Alabama summer day with blue skies and just a few clouds that came and went. I had an awesome day with these two and with their friends and family. Congratulations Laura and Justin and a big thank you for choosing me to be a part of your day! Also, a big thanks to Jessica Drosyk for shooting with me!

Liv and Brian- Sneak Peek

Alisa — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:42:37 +0000

Here is a little sneak peek at Liv and Brian’s beautiful wedding. I am still in process of getting these finished up but I know from speaking with Liv that she can hardly wait to see a few. I picked out a quick set of my favorites to share.

Christina and Brock- Sneak Peek

Alisa — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 23:47:59 +0000

Here’s one of the weddings that I am currently working on. Christina had asked earlier in the week if I could give her a sneak peek. How could I not share photos of these two? I have loved working with them and had so much fun at their wedding. I can hardly wait to share more! Also, thanks to Jessica D for second shooting! She captured the 3rd image below that turned out to be one of my many favorites from the day.

It’s Published!!! Southern Living Weddings Magazine!

Alisa — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:09:43 +0000

To say that I was excited to receive an email from Southern Living Weddings Magazine is a little bit of an understatement! In the south, most people could sum it up to ” I was tickled pink.” Well, I guess you could say for my personal feelings, it was that expression times 10! I was probably more of a bright red or “hot pink” color. I’ve known for the past couple of months that Hayley and Charlie’s wedding had been picked to be featured in the Real Weddings section of the magazine and I have been waiting anxiously for the preview. I knew what images I had sent them, but I didn’t know what they had picked or how the layout was put together. Last week, I received an email from the editor with all of the details of the upcoming print release and a photo of the cover. She said that my copy of the magazine was on its way to my P. O. Box. Well, it arrived on Friday! This edition has a ton of ideas, information and photos of real weddings, cakes, details and things that you should consider when planning a wedding. If you are in the midst of planning or if you just like to look, make sure you grab a copy today! I’ve included a photo of the magazine cover below so you will know how to spot it on the shelf! Hayley and Charlie’s wedding is featured on pages 48-51. Be sure to check it out!

Even though I can’t give it all away, I did grab my camera and snap a pic of the first couple of pages from the layout. You’ll have to buy the magazine to see the rest

Kristin and David

Alisa — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 02:23:16 +0000

Here is a peek at Kristin and David’s recent engagement session. Just a few weeks ago, we had a great time walking around the Samford campus. It was a cool Sunday afternoon and we were lucky enough to have the fall colors still on the trees. Samford’s campus is pretty year round, so I always enjoy shooting there. Kristin and David made the day even better by laughing and being super fun. The session also gave Kristin a little break from all of the exams and studying that comes with being a law student, so I think it was a nice “get-away” for her too! I can’t imagine being in law school and planning a wedding at the same time. I am sure that is why Kristin incorporated Meghan Cease into her wedding plans! Meghan is the owner of M. Elizabeth Events and does a phenomenal job as a planner. I can’t wait to see all of the ideas and planning come together for Kristin and David’s wedding next August!

A quick favorite

Alisa — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 07:03:05 +0000

Yes, I am still here! It is extremely busy around here and I haven’t got around to adding new photos to the blog. However, I did want to share a quick favorite of this gorgeous couple! I had lots of fun spending time with Whitney and T.G.!

Madison

The statement “yes, she is 14″ can have completely different meanings depending on the person that I am speaking to. For us and for those who haven’t seen her in a while, it seems like she definitely should not be 14 yet. She definitely has grown up in the blink of an eye. For others that do not know her, that same statement usually comes to verify that she is 14. Most people see her and assume she is not just having her 14th birthday but is at least a couple of years older. I on the other hand, I am secretly wishing she still looked like a little girl. We are learning all about teenagers around our house. While it is mostly good and fun, I will admit that I am not quite ready for all of the things that being a teenager brings to the table. I am learning to let go a little and grant a little independence but wow, that is so stinkin’ hard! It makes it a little easier that she is a smart girl who seemingly overnight has become a hilarious, beautiful and fun loving person. She is also a fully socialized teenager. Who knew teenagers had so many phone calls to make?
Madison’s birthday was last week and one of her “birthday wishes” was a photo session. She is definitely proving she is one of my own She loves taking pictures. You would think that scheduling a photo session shouldn’t be too hard when your mom is a photographer, but it actually is sometimes hard to find time to dedicate a complete session to my girls. So, for some long overdue pictures and in honor of her birthday, we spent a little time yesterday running though some fields not far from our house and using some of the areas close to the studio. Here are a few of my favorites and some photos for a birthday wish granted =) Happy Birthday Madison!
