McClain + Chris: Shoal Creek

On the most perfect weather day of the year, McClain and Chris chose to exchange their vows in front of their friends and family.  Condoleezza Rice was even there!  Well, she was playing golf outside, but still it was LIKE she came just for the wedding.  

Shoal Creek Country Club is such a beautiful venue and this time of year, it is just perfect!  McClain was such a relaxed bride - I think she really enjoyed her day.  Kristen and Mary Catherine with Arden Photography were there to provide the memories.  

Fun, fun day! So many little treats for the guests throughout the evening. Donuts and milk shooters to name one!  The band, Burning Las Vegas, kept everyone dancing and our cameras rolling to capture the fun.  

Mindy with M. Elizabeth Weddings and Events was in charge of the day.  She kept everything moving smoothly and under control.  Most brides don't even realize all that the wedding planner does on the day of.  There is always a fire to put out somewhere!  

Here are a few stills that we pulled from the raw footage.  Enjoy the fun!

Karly + Garrett: The Sonnet House

On a beautiful Saturday in June, Karly exchanged wedding vows with her best friend, Garrett.  The Sonnet House was the gorgeous backdrop for this gorgeous bride.  Surrounded by their family and friends, the couple enjoyed perfect ceremony music by Cahaba River Strings and lively reception music by Total Entertainment.  

 

My favorite moment was when the bride's dog came up to the bridal suite to say hi.  He was in his tux!!!!  You can check out the photos from the day from Jessica Wright by clicking here.

Meredith + Dale: The Sonnet House

You might recall last July for our anniversary trip, John hired the most amazing and beautiful makeup artist, Meredith Brown.  Well, Meredith is not only our friend now, but she first was our bride.  

 

We were excited about the wedding day for many reasons, but mainly because we were able to be a little out of the box.  We shot the entire day with our 1970s Super 8mm camera.  I can't wait to see how the footage turned out.  The film must be sent off to a lab for processing.  Now don't worry, we shot the ceremony with "real" video cameras too, just in case the 30 year old film missed a beat.

 

She and Dale had a beautiful wedding at The Sonnet House.  The food was great, flowers were beautiful, it was just a perfect day!

 

Planner: Molly Shook.  Photographer:  David Shirk with Unplugged Photography. Flowers: Carol Riley with Lillie's.  Catering: Kathy G. Cake: Dreamcakes.  Hair and Makeup: Jessica Lazarus and Kerri Bunn. Ceremony Music: Cahaba River Strings.

 

Great times!
