Second shooting is such a valuable part of wedding photography. It gives me the chance to capture a wedding day from another perspective, document the in-between moments, and contribute to the story of a couple’s day alongside another amazing photographer!


On May 2, 2026, I had the opportunity to second shoot a beautiful wedding at Ross Bridge Hotel in Hoover, Alabama, alongside Anna Grace White.


Since I was second shooting for Anna Grace, I’m sharing just a handful of my favorite highlights from the day rather than a full wedding gallery. I wasn’t there for every part of the celebration, but I loved getting to capture these moments and document the beauty of the day through my own lens.


Ross Bridge Hotel was a beautiful setting for a wedding, and it was such a joy to be part of the team capturing it all. From the thoughtful details to the candid moments happening throughout the day, these are a few of the images I’m excited to share.


A special thank-you to Anna Grace for having me along to photograph this wedding with her! I’m grateful for opportunities like this to keep learning, creating, and capturing meaningful moments alongside other talented photographers.
