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!

Alabama Weddings Photo Shoot!

Several times a year wedding vendors work together to provide inspiration to all brides through photo shoots for Alabama Weddings Magazine.  It usually consists of a pretty long day, but the results are worth it! Our contribution was to film the setup of the different "scenes" plus a little bit of clowning around of the vendors.  The location was a bit unusual, but Ted's Garage Cafe turned out to be perfect for the day.  It was really fun!

Although the edit of the video is not completed just yet, I wanted to say thanks to all of the contributing vendors!

Awesome (and amazing!) photography by Jerrod Brown.

AliceAnne + Josh: Auburn, AL

AliceAnne and Josh's wedding was the most exquisite wedding I have ever seen!  From the sanctuary turned garden oasis at Auburn United Methodist Church to the beautifully decorated reception at Moore's Mill, every detail was perfect, thanks to wedding planner Beverly Andrews of Engaging Celebrations.  

 

Design Productions provided amazing uplighting for the tents, Diane Olexa made the largest bride's cake EVER, and we got to work with Jamie Burnett (photographer) for the 1st time.  We are so very fortunate to get to do what we love!
