About

If you do anything long enough you begin to see it for what it really is. We’ve been shooting weddings for 4 years now and feel like we’ve wrapped our minds around who we are and why people generally book us. If you’re reading this then you’ve probably got a lot of decisions to make about your wedding and we want the decision to use (or not use) us to be the simplest one you will make. Here are a few things you should know about us:

* We are a husband and wife team. We work (well) together. Every wedding we shoot is covered by both Corey (left) & Erin (right). Don’t worry we leave the kids with the grandparents!

* We are storytellers. From getting ready to leaving the reception we capture images that cover the life, emotion, & reality of the entire wedding day. This is our highest priority.

* We LOVE portraits. We put a lot of time and thought into the location and composition of our informal portraits. The accents to our storytelling are the interesting & unique portraits of the bride and groom and wedding party.

* We are easy to work with. We believe weddings are a celebration and need as little drama as possible. Through tight organization and a laid back attitude we do all we can to make the day go smoothly.

If you’re interested in more information please contact us at infor@nolenphotography.com or give us a call 205-919-1897 and we’ll be happy to provide you a pdf of our wedding packages. In addition we always love to meet prospective wedding clients in person and are available for a consultation.

This husband and wife team will blow your mind. I promise.

Corey & Erin are a perfect photography match. Their talents are varied, and you are left with the most comprehensive wedding images imaginable. I have the beautiful, classic portraits that I wanted alongside fabulous photojournalist images that tell the story of my wedding day. More than that, they capture images that highlight all the details and emotions of the day.

I wanted them so badly that I hired them and flew them to Napa, California, for my wedding. I don't care where they have to go - you should hire them!

The Nolens were such a pleasure to work with. We didn't "notice" that they were there, which is a sign of a great photographer. They were very relaxed and made us feel the same way. I would highly recommend them!

Nolen Photography is Amazing!!!!! They were absolutely wonderful to work with and took incredible pictures!! Still 5 months later everyone in our wedding party/family and friends are raving about how they loved them and how beautiful our photos turned out! They are fabulous with kids and truly make taking many hours of pictures fun!! I was a very type A bride and wanted everything perfect and they truly did not disappoint!! I would recommend this husband and wife team to EVERYONE looking for a photographer! I know I will use them again when I need some beautiful pictures taken!

When my now-husband and I arrived for our engagement session, we were admittedly incredibly nervous about being awkward in front of the camera. Both reserved, quiet people, we were slightly dreading the next two hours! Erin and Corey quickly melted those anxieties - their laid-back, patient attitude helped calm me down and created a space for us to just be ourselves and interact. The big day had the same easy-going feel. I was blown away by the results of each shoot. Erin and Corey's photos were just the mix of story and art that I wanted. They caught moments that I had completely forgotten, and captured the details that made our day our day. I had mentioned to Corey that I loved the old glass light fixtures hiding in corners throughout our venue and I was shocked to see all of the cool ways they showed up in the background of our shots. Two of my bridesmaids also booked Erin and Corey, which says a ton! My only regret now is that we didn't get a photo with Erin and Corey, as they were such a huge part of our day.

Cannot imagine a better choice to photograph your wedding! The Nolens were so professional and yet so laid back and personal. I absolutely love my wedding photographs, and I have the fondest memories of working with the Nolens. They really prioritized capturing our engagement, wedding, and relationship in a way that was so personal to us, and that was a priceless quality! Would recommend them without hesitation.

Corey and Erin Nolen did an amazing job on the photography for our wedding. They were more than just photographers, however; they became our friends. These two care more about making money- they truly embrace the excitement of this time in your life and just happen to be able to put that all into tangible memories. I cannot wait to have them photograph us again in the future as we begin to add on to our family with little ones!!

Photography is one of the most important wedding expenses you pay for as a bride. Your big day comes and goes so fast, and the only thing that you have to remember the moments are the photos. I can honestly say the photographs Nolen Photography took on our Wedding day told the story of our special day from start to finish. I loved how Erin followed me through my day from getting ready with my bridesmaids to walking down the isle. She didn't miss a moment and while she followed me Corey followed my husband and his groomsmen. Also my husband and I both agree that Erin and Corey went above and beyond and didn't just take photographs, but took the time to get to know us as a couple. They brought a sense of ease and comfort to an overwhelming day. We highly recommend them to all of our friends. They are worth every penny and more.

Erin and Corey shot my wedding in June 2011 and I could not have picked better photographers! Not only were they a BLAST to work with but they were professional and got all the great shots I wanted! They were prompt in getting my wedding pictures back to me and they all looked fabulous. Their prices were more than fair - after talking to more of my bride friends, I think Nolen Photogtraphy is one of the best prices in Birmingham. I can't say enough good things about Corey and Erin and would 100% recommend them - they were probably the best vendor I worked with for my entire wedding! Thanks Erin and Corey :)

Nolen Photography did a great job capturing all the special moments at our wedding. Erin not only shot our wedding day but also our engagement photos and a bridal session. She was so easy and pleasant to work with. The Nolen's know what they are doing and are a great husband & wife team. Their work and quality are hard to beat. You'd be lucky to have them shoot your big day.

Her photography is GORGEOUS, first of all. She is extremely easy to work with, knows what she is doing and is sensitive to the mood of the day. She was never pushy, yet she kept everyone in the wedding party organized and on schedule throughout the day. I recommmend her to everyone I know.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
