The Scene: Morris Ave in Birmingham, Alabama
“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember
If you’ve ever walked down Morris Ave, you’ll know that it has a certain magic to it. This historic street, located in the heart of Birmingham’s Loft District, is lined with unique buildings, quirky shops, and, most notably, its cobblestone street that evokes a sense of nostalgia. With its blend of Southern charm and urban edge, it creates an atmosphere that perfectly matches the vibe of Annie and Kelvin.
The cobblestones, with their rough-hewn beauty, acted as a perfect contrast to the soft glow of the golden hour sun. With its historic architecture and picturesque streets, Morris Ave served as more than just a backdrop — it became a character in this story.
The Couple: Annie & Kelvin
Annie and Kelvin are a dream to photograph. Their connection is palpable, radiating warmth and joy. From the moment they stepped onto the cobblestones, their chemistry was undeniable. Whether they were sharing a quiet moment, laughing together, or simply walking hand in hand, their energy was infectious, making each shot feel effortless.
Annie, with her effortless elegance, complemented the rustic charm of the street beautifully. Her timeless dress seemed to flow like a breeze, adding a softness to the industrial backdrop. Kelvin, on the other hand, exuded cool confidence. His style was effortlessly chic, perfectly capturing the spirit of the street and of their relationship.
The Story Through the Lens
Throughout the shoot, we moved through the streets of Morris Avenue, capturing moments as they unfolded. The cobblestone paths created a natural flow for the couple, encouraging movement and spontaneity. Annie and Kelvin’s connection was a story in itself — one filled with laughter, quiet moments of tenderness, and a deep sense of partnership.
One of the highlights of the shoot was when the sun dipped just below the horizon, casting a warm, golden light across the street. The soft glow seemed to encapsulate the love between them, adding an almost cinematic feel to the images. As the light shifted, so did the mood of the photos — from playful and lighthearted to intimate and romantic. It was clear that every shot was more than just a moment in time; it was a reflection of their journey together.
The Magic of Cobblestones & City Streets
There’s something inherently special about shooting in an urban setting, particularly one as rich in history as Morris Avenue. The cobblestone streets added a layer of texture to every frame, grounding the shoot in a sense of place. Birmingham’s combination of industrial architecture and natural beauty proved to be the perfect juxtaposition for Annie and Kelvin’s story.
The timelessness of the street paired with the timelessness of their love made for a truly unforgettable experience. It’s easy to see why Morris Avenue continues to be a favorite spot for photographers, couples, and creatives alike.

As the shoot came to a close and the last rays of sunlight faded, we couldn’t help but reflect on how special the day had been. Annie and Kelvin were an absolute joy to work with, and Morris Ave provided the perfect stage for their love story to unfold. Each image tells a part of their journey together, capturing the essence of their relationship in the most beautiful way possible.
It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful a single street can be. The cobblestones, the history, and the couple’s connection all came together to create something truly memorable.
