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.

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!

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.

Floral and design by J Ross with Norton's.  

Lighting design by Andy Tolar with Design Productions.

Makeup by Melissa Moore Bogardus.  

Thanks for including us Michelle and Carla!
