Jenna + Mark: St. Mark | The Club

WOW. Wow. and wow.  This wedding was definitely something to write home about.  The ceremony was beautiful with a full mass and a beautiful sounding choir that filled the church with melody.  The Club (although very beautiful) had never looked better all thanks to Jill Sampson, with Weddings by Jill and lighting by AG Designs.  

 

The entire event was under the careful instruction of Alene Gamel with I Do, I Do Weddings.  Alene is a perfectionist and perfection is what Jenna and Mark were given.

 

There are so many details that I could talk about.  Pink draping everywhere!  The 7 tiered (or more!)cake by Jan O'Donnell, delicious!  The many food stations.  The fireworks display that was out of this world!  And then an extra treat!  The guests came back in from outside and saw the newly formed cheesecake station!  Perfection, I am telling you.  

 

And then you have the little details that most people might not see, but mean so much.  My favorite was the vintage broach on Jenna's bouquet.  It was her grandmother's.  What a special way to honor a loved one. 

 

The band!  Hands down, the BEST!  The Atlanta Show Stoppers.  They were show stoppers!  I love the snapshot photo below of our couple dancing and singing on stage with the band.   Wonder what they are singing?  Never fear, we have the video that goes along with this picture.  They will be able to relive the day over and over!

 

I know that Greg Hawkins with Studio G captured some beautiful and fun photos!  His assistant for the day was Marsha Perry!  What a great team!

 

As I look back on my original notes from my meeting with Jenna.  Her vision was to have an inside garden with pinks and greens.  Well, this garden was fit for a queen!  

Jennifer + Phillip: Trinity UMC/Pine Tree CC

This couple - what a delight they both are to be around.  I fell in love with Jennifer the moment we met!  We were so honored to be a part of her wedding.  The day started at Trinity United Methodist Church and ended with a lively reception at Pine Tree County Club. 

The beautifully orchestrated day was the result of the months of planning and organizing by Catherine Franklin with Engaging Celebrations.  Gorgeous floral arrangements on all of the tables provided by Carol Riley of Lillies.  And the day wouldn't be complete without the photographers - Charles and Amber Ford, who always keep the day filled with laughter.  

Let's not forget Barnaby.  He served as the ring "bear"er that the flower girl escorted down the aisle. If you haven't already guessed, Barnaby is Jennifer stuffed bear that goes everywhere with her!  He even went on their honeymoon.  But no worries, he had his swimsuit packed.  A REAL bear wouldn't go to a tropical paradise in a tuxedo.  I mean, really. 

Kristi + Caleb: Rosewood

There is just something about a wedding at Rosewood in Pinson, AL.  Even with the imminent threat of rain 30 minutes before the ceremony, the sun stays shining just long enough for the bride and groom to have a wonderful wedding!  And that is what happened for Kristi and Caleb.  It was perfect!  And I saw one of my high school teachers.  

Molly + Kevin: Highlights

Want to see an amazing wedding?  Check out the highlights of Molly & Kevin's big day from this past summer.  We just love their family and friends!  Their parties are not too shabby either!

Stephanie + Steven: Double Oak CC/LincPoint

A couple of weeks ago we were honored to be a part of the wedding of a great couple and their families.  Stephanie and Steven were married at Double Oak Community Church under the direction of Beverly Andrews with Engaging Celebrations.  It was actually Beverly's home church, so her husband, Jim, was running the sound and light board.  I do have a special thanks to him for upping the lighting just a bit for a light greedy videographer!!! Hee Hee.

 

After the very romantic ceremony, we all traveled over to LincPoint.  This was our first time working at this venue!  After 7 years, we don't get to work at new venues often, so it was so much fun!  Andy Tolar, Design Productions, had transformed this area into a beautiful masterpiece.  It was amazing! Geoff, with Jamm Entertainment provided the entertainment for the evening and kept everyone dancing!  

 

If you are a follower of our blog, then you know that I LOVE to post sneak peak clips for our couples.  Normally, I will post fun dancing or a small edited portion of the couple's 1st sighting on the blog, this time I decided to post getting ready footage.  I didn't include all of the details from this couple's day in this edit (ie. wearing funny glasses with a mustache that moves up and down so that the her dad wouldn't cry when he saw her in her dress). One of my favorite clips is the expression on the bride's sister's face after putting on the veil.  How neat it must be to have a sister!
