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.

Brandy & Trey: Mountain View Gardens & Ballroom

It was a lovely day for an outdoor wedding for Brandy and Trey.  The landscape is just so beautiful at Mt. View, that it always makes for a perfect day!  And once again, that was the case for our couple. 
 
Working with Amber and Charles Ford (Amber Ford Photography), we were able to capture the wonderful emotion of getting ready to Brandy & Trey seeing each other for the first time through the romantic ceremony to the end of a very special reception. It really was a perfect day!  I hope that they had a great time on their honeymoon!

Byars-Benefield Butterflies!

What a great day for a Sunday afternoon wedding.  Jennifer &  Caleb were getting married at 5:00 at Mt. View Gardens & Ballroom in Springville.  It was a little on the cool side, but I try to never complain about such things!  The rain ended about 1 hour before the ceremony start time.  John and I had just arrived to find that the lawn side ceremony had been placed inside because of the rain.  We were about to set the cameras up when it was decided to move everything back out by the pool!


Everyone who could started grabbing chairs!  The owner of Mt. View, Debbie, was sweeping the puddles from the aisle so the dresses would not get wet.  We had an assembly line for the white chairs to be reset outside.  200 chairs takes a little while, but with a few minutes to spare, we got everything rearranged! (And had time to mic the groom and get the cameras ready!)

It was a great wedding!  Jennifer loves butterflies so they were incorporated into all aspects of the day.  I have to say the multi-colored butterflies on the wedding cake was just beautiful!

Thomas-Kennedy Wedding Sparkles

Shemika & LeBarron exchanged their wedding vows by the pool at Mt. View Gardens & Ballroom in Springville.   I have never met a bride that loved sparkles so much - anything that sparkled.  The details that she put into her wedding day did not go unnoticed.  The first thing that caught my eye was her tiera; the sun hit it just right and she was sparkling!  She even had tons of crystal swans all over the reception!  We might have to add in some additional sparkles during the editing!
