Blog Index

We have tried to design our blog for our fans, friends, and family to keep up with what we are doing each week.  It is also a good way to get to know us.  Or maybe just a way that I (Angela) can talk up a storm without John getting annoyed.  We will see...

Also included are the Insider's Tips, which started out as a challenge to post one tip per week for an entire year.  We hope that you will find that they are not just the normal information you find out there in wedding world, but more unusual tips that can only be found when you live on the inside.  Ha!  Really, we just attend a lot of weddings.

Allyson + Tyler: Mathews Manor

Aly and Tyler were married on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Mathews Manor in Springville.  The bride arrived to Micah's Meadow by horse and carriage and she looked like a true princess!  After a flawless wedding ceremony, the guests relocated to Grace Hall for the reception.  

 

One of the flower girls and the bearer for the wedding were very special to Main Street Productions.  They were the niece and nephew of the bride AND the son and daughter to one of our 2006 couples, Ashley and Brent.  Not only was it great to see those beautiful children, but getting to see a former couple is always great! 

 

Feel the Beat played fun music that got everyone on the dance floor all afternoon! And Greg with Studio G captured all the great memories!

Sarah + Matt: Mathews Manor

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Sarah!  To date, maybe one of my favorite brides.  Yes, she is beautiful and works the camera like no other, but she has such a beautiful heart as well.  It truly was a pleasure to be at her wedding.  
 
All through the ceremony, she kept whispering to Matt that she loved him (thanks to our wireless on the groom, we could hear every word).  She was so excited to be getting married to her high school sweetheart!  It was refreshing.
 
A special thanks to Greg Hawkins (Studio G) for not only referring us to the McAllisters, but also putting up with us all day as we both captured such an amazing day.  I have seen the pictures and they were FABULOUS!!!  We can't wait to share the sneak peak!

Traci Mathews & Jason Creel!

We had the privilege of being able to be a part of the greatest wedding of the year! Traci Mathews married her sweet beau, Jason, at her parent's house in Springville, AL. Many of you know Mathews Manor - great venue to work. The Mathews have always been one of our favorites in town. Probably 5 years ago, we left a battery at their house and Mr. Mathews was so kind to save it for me; I will always remember that!
 
When their daughter started to plan her wedding, she really had the upperhand compared to most brides. After all, the family plans and hosts weddings for a living. I would hope that because of this, it was more relaxing, calm, and enjoyable for everyone! There were a lot of people in attendance to wish Traci & Jason a great start to their new life together.
 
Not only was it a special wedding, but it was also the launch of a brand new site for Mathews Manor. In the hopes of expanding, the Mathews bought the property across the street from their current location. It is a fabulous meadow with the heart being an amazing 75 ft high tree! It was this tree that captured Traci's heart. And it was her dad that made it all happen in a very short amount of time.
 
Our favorite part (which seemed to be made for a photo session) was this beautiful stone bridge over a small creek. Wow! It is perfect! The creek even had a small path so that you could stand in the middle and take your shots up toward the couple on the bridge.
 
The following clip was taken from the photo session where Traci and Jason saw each other for the 1st time on the day of their wedding. Very sweet!

Avalos-Ryan Wedding

Vanessa came to us last minute needing a wedding videographer.  She had hired a "national" videography company that turned out to be a scam!  I was very glad that we were able to help her out!  Most people have never hired a videographer before their wedding day - they don't know what/who to look for.  It can be a little overwhelming.  


She and Chris had a wonderful evening at Grace Hall at Mathews Manor.  Debbie, her family, and her staff always do whatever they can to make the evening the best!  Sure, the weather was terrible, but they couldn't do much about that!  

Congrats to Vanessa and Chris!  Enjoy this short clip of their 1st dance.  As with all of our "honeymoon" clips, these are meant to be a sneak peak at some of the footage that we got at the wedding.  It is lightly edited only.
