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.

Alabama Weddings Magazine | Behind the Scenes | 2012 | Norton's

Now that the long anticipated magazine release is out, you can see the beautiful photo shoot of Norton's Weddings & Events.  Sure it is a long day filled with lots of hard work, but you do get to hang out with your "work friends" so it makes it all worth it!  

For this shoot, J Ross with Norton's trasforrmed the venue into a garden oasis.  You can see all of the pictues in the 2012 Alabama Weddings Magazine.  Here is the behind the scenes video that we did of all of the fun that goes along with a photo shoot!  A special thanks to Jerrod Brown Studios, Olexa's, Bella Couture, Mr. Burch Formal Wear, Melissa Moore Bogardus (makeup), Bromberg's, Andy Tolar with Design Productions and The Garage.

Leann + Alex: St. Marks/The Sonnet House

What a picture perfect day - well, kind of!  It definitely kept us on our toes!! From lighting strikes to heat strokes, you really never knew what was going to happen from one moment to the next.  But thankfully the day was under the direction of planner extraordinaire, Beverly Andrews with Engaging Celebrations so I wasn't worried!  And neither was Leann, who was as calm as she could be.  I really think she was having a great time as she should have been.  

 

My favorite memory of the day was right after the bride and groom saw each other for the first time on the side lawn of The Sonnet House.  Together with Jerrod Brown (Photographer), we were capturing this romantic, perfect time.  The groom was about to tell the bride how gorgeous she looked on the grounds of the Sonnet House when Beverly and her wonderful assistant, Catherine, both shout RRRRRUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!  I look over my shoulder and see this huge rain cloud coming right toward us - you could actually see it come across the lawn in a line.  Crazy!  Beverly picks up Leann's silk dress and basically shoves her inside to safety and we all follow!  Nuts! I have a feeling that is one first look that no one will forget!

 

Other Wedding Professionals:  J Ross with Norton's Flowers, The A-Town A-List (Band), B & A Catering, Dreamcakes, Katie Moon (makeup).  Great wedding!
