Tom + Susan: Riverchase UMC | Ted's Garage

This past weekend we were honored to be a part of the marriage of true love, originally set up by a Greek Matchmaker.  Alene Gamel with I Do, I Do Wedding Planning recommended us to this couple and we are so glad that she did.  We had so much fun all day!  

 

These images were taken when Jerrod Brown, John and I kidnapped the couple for an excursion, much to the dismay of both the church director and Alene!!!  (The church was undergoing construction and we had to find a place to play!)  JB found the perfect place!!!  Imagine the emotion that we have in the video - can't wait!

 

Sure this was my most memorable part of the day, but there were so many facets to the wedding.  Beautiful ceremony, fun dancing at the reception.  Beautiful flowers by J Ross with Norton's. Delicious food by Kathy G. Yummy cake by Olexa's!  Az-Izz rockin' Ted's Garage.  James Meredith from Coats Classic Cars picking the couple up.  

 

And the best thing, is that everything ran smoothly and to a self-proclaimed control freak bride, that made the day!  Go Alene!

 

 

 

 

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!

Jessica + Brandon: Tuscaloosa

Surrounded by their family and friends, Jessica and Brandon were married at Calvary Baptist Church with the wedding reception held at Indian Hills Country Club.

 

The most usual thing that I saw at the reception was a 3 foot high Auburn tiger cake.  I was told by the groom's family that it was difficult to find someone willing to make and bring a tiger cake to Tuscaloosa!!  (I need to post a picture of this thing - wow!!!)  If you know John and I, you know that we are not football fans.  We do understand the rivarly between these two teams.  I am glad that they found someone willing to make their groom's cake!!!

 

The couple left their reception in style in a vintage car from Coats Classic Cars.

Hilary + Chris: Mathews Manor

Another hot day for another beautiful wedding with a beautiful bride and her handsome groom!  Hilary and Chris were married at Mathews Manor with the talented Amber and Charles Ford there to photographer every detail.  

 

After a short ceremony, the guests went into the nicely air-conditioned Grace Hall to dance to the music from DJ Silky (!!) aka Danny Brewer with Feel the Beat Entertainment.  We had to keep a careful eye on the groomsmen - you never knew what they were up to!!!  

 

It was such a fun day!  

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!
