Mark and Kahlil’s day was the kind of wedding that makes you pause, breathe deep, and remember what love is really about. No crowded timelines, no strict traditions, just two people promising forever in the quiet beauty of the Birmingham mountains in their own backyard.
Their elopement was as effortless as it was intentional. We spent the afternoon wandering the mountain trails, soaking in golden light, and capturing portraits that felt as natural as their connection. The two of them laughed, shared soft moments, and held space for each other in a way that was deeply moving to witness.
As an inclusive photographer, moments like this remind me why I do what I do. Love is love, whether it’s celebrated on a mountain, in a backyard, or anywhere in between. Mark and Kahlil’s day was a beautiful reflection of that truth.
After portraits, the two joined their closest loved ones for an intimate dinner party. No big production, no distractions, just good food, heartfelt toasts, and the warmth of community (And a good bit of happy tears). It was the perfect ending to a day built on simplicity, authenticity, and love.
Mark and Kahlil’s mountain elopement is proof that your wedding day doesn’t have to follow any rules. It can be laid-back, deeply personal, and exactly what you want it to be.
