A couple of weeks ago we got to enjoy the first real glimpse of spring with a way-cool couple, Tori and Mitch. We hit it off with them pretty quickly, hugging by the end of our first meeting at Engaged! wedding library in Homewood. Tori told me they wanted something rustic and vintage for their engagement photos, so we decided on the always-picturesque Old Baker Farm, east of Birmingham in Harpersville. Jerry Baker was kind enough to give us the run of his family-owned farm for our engagement photo session. I think it’s about 100 years old. Jerry and his wife host Civil War re-enactments there from time to time, which prompted Tori to nickname it her Sweet Home, Alabama photo shoot, for the Reese Witherspoon movie. By the way, that was the first movie I wanted Daniel to see when he made his first trip to the United States, not long after the film came out!

When you’ve been in the city for a while, seeing about a dozen animals march across the farm, unprompted, to the barn is quite a sight and we all just loved it. There were goats, sheep, horses, chickens, a mule teasing a couple of baby goats and a donkey bringing up the rear. The chickens wandered around us during the first photos, and one of the three adorable dogs brought Tori and Mitchell a fresh farm egg as a welcome gift. The red horse you see was quite the camera hound, popping his head into quite of few of the photos! We had such a great day and the photo opportunities were endless.
