Hi! My name is Tecia McLaughlin, and I have been a wedding photographer for eight years. My sincere passion is capturing the moments that brought tears and laughter at each wedding.
I love creating a relaxed personable experience that will be obvious from the moment we meet. I want your event to be extremely documented, so I believe MORE is better! I want you to have all the shots you want, and the shots you didn't know you needed. Real, candid, artistic and fun is my approach. My pictures are bright, colorful and full of life.

Avalon was amazing to use. Our engagement photo session was very sweet and intimate as they made us feel very comfortable. I am very camera shy so that all made the difference for me. On our wedding day they captured beautiful pictures of the happiest day of our life. The sweet photographs are so talented and way better than what I could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend them to anyone in Alabama and we will be using them again for our future chapters in life.

Our photographer was absolutely wonderful—— she caught every detail of our wedding and more !!!! We couldn’t have asked for any more or better shots of the wedding itself, the wedding party, the reception, dinner, dancing! She caught every detail, each funny incident, all the activity and each and every guest ! The quality of pictures was excellent — variety was beyond our expectations — she made the wedding into wonderful memories for all! Very professional——-I would highly recommend this photographer!!!! Very reasonable!!!!!

I was astounded at how incredible how amazing the pictures were. A few people even mentioned that a few were magazine worthy!! I was beyond elated at everything and the entire wedding. I can’t praise these guys enough. It truly was a fairy tale dream wedding all around. These guys were incredible. I’d give them 10 stars if I could, they just made everything easy and my mom and I didn’t worry about a thing!!

Our photos are gorgeous! Ticia and SaVanna were incredible. They were so helpful and made sure we would be happy with our gallery. I tear up every time we look at our photos. They captured the day perfectly!
Our schedule on the day was changed for first looks, but it worked out in the end. They worked on their vacation to make sure we got our galleries back promptly.

Leticia was AMAZING from start to finish! She laid everything out step by step on how to make the planning process easy and she was available LITERALLY 24/7 and was always super friendly and helpful in the best way possible. If you need a Wedding Planner/Provider in the gulf coast area, I HIGHLY recommend her! She took all of my stress away and was supportive throughout the whole process and really does care about making your day special!

"Wow, I can't say enough good things about our photographers Ticia and her daughter, Savanna! They went above and beyond for our special day at Smith Lake, a remote location in the boondocks. They hiked with us through the woods to capture breathtaking photos at the waterfall, despite tics and spiderwebs. The scorching heat didn't faze them, and they transformed our pictures into sheer beauty. What's even more incredible is that this was all arranged on very short notice, and they were incredibly reliable, showing up early and even lending a hand with my dress, as our wedding was an intimate affair with just my partner, our dogs, and us, and they made it perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional photography services!"

Leticia and Savannah didn’t disappoint! The pictures were beautiful and high quality; not a bad one in the bunch! We enjoyed working with them both—so very nice, easy to work with, and totally professional. We didn’t even notice they were there at times and yet, they captured all the big and small details of the wedding! I would definitely recommend the option of two photographers; they were wonderful!

Ticia & her daughter Sav were such a joy to work with on my wedding day. Not only did they capture the most beautiful shots of both myself, as well as family and friends, they were so helpful and kind while doing so. I really felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything photo wise, because these two had everything handled. They know how to pose you so that you look your best, and their photography is truly stunning. I’m more than overjoyed with Avalon Photography!

We booked Leticia and SaV a year out, and they worked so hard to make sure we were all on the same page. As wedding day arrived, I was so nervous, but they helped me relax and enjoy the entire process. Our pictures were amazing and we got them so fast. They took our Pinterest board and created the poses. We needed them to be a little more hands on (we needed help!) but it felt very natural and fun. I would recommend them to anyone.
