Claire + Josh: Canterbury & Old Overton CC

The most organized bride to date.  I even had my timeline two weeks before the wedding!  I couldn't believe it!  Claire had planned every last detail of her wedding day and kept everyone on top of things throughout the day.  From the bridal party getting ready at Canterbury United Methodist Church to leaving on the favorite mode of transportation for the groom, the day was flawless.  The groomsmen were even dressed and ready ONE HOUR before they really needed to be for photos.  WOW!  Brides, we might can get a copy of the email that Claire sent out to all of the groomsmen because something she said worked because they were not only on time, but also WAY early!

 

We got an amazing shot of the bride walking down the aisle to her groom during the wedding ceremony.  This task is sometimes hard to do at strict churches, but we got it!!!  Beautiful, heartfelt ceremony.  The reception was quite a party, including a performance of "Proud Mary" from the bride's mom and band!  

 

The perfect day ended with sparklers and the couple riding off in a golf cart (something that we had not seen before) from their wedding reception!  

 

Jessica & Patrick with Super T

So Jessica really might be wonder-woman!  She is the queen of multi-tasking - school, family, planning a wedding - she does it all!  She, with the help of Alene Gamel, with I Do, I Do, put on a fabulous wedding weekend.  Actually Jessica told me that the fun began one week prior when family started coming into town.  It was all worth it in the end!  Everyone had a great time and the wedding was just beautiful! 

South Highland Presbyterian Church was the setting for the wedding ceremony.  After that, the guests were invited to the Old Overton Country Club for a big reception.  You know, we have had some really great bands this summer at Old Overton - and this weekend was no exception.  The Tyrone Smith Revue (known around the World as Super T) was amazing!  Of course we didn't expect anything less!  Everyone had a great time dancing with the band - even the bride and groom!  Please note the guy doing "the Carlton" - great stuff!

Dance Off!

Last Saturday while Jessica and Paul were mingling with their guests at their Old Overton reception, we caught this great dance off between Total Assets and a wedding guest.  We thought this was really entertaining and not something that the bride and groom (or their families) even saw!  

You know, you can hire a band for your wedding or you can hire entertainers.  These guys were entertainers!  

Another great thing about this wedding is that we got to work with one of the best photographers in town!  Artography!  Andrea and Les have always been the best crew to work with.  And their work is always fabulous!  

Other wedding day facts:  Fun rehearsal dinner filled with great toasts to the couple held at The Club.  Ceremony was performed at Riverchase United Methodist Church.  

Heat Wave!

It is not even August and we are melting around here. I was so thankful that we didn't have an outdoor wedding on Saturday or so I thought...

Brookwood Baptist Church was the perfect setting for Haley and Clay to get married. It was standing room only in the church! After a very sweet ceremony, we were off to Old Overton Country Club. We have been there many times, I don't know why I never remember that the band is always outside. Maybe because they set up a tent and you really don't notice that you are outside. Except in this heat! Tons of fans were actually doing a pretty good job of keeping it manageable, and it definitely didn't stop people from dancing!

I am so excited about all of the great dance footage that we got! Everyone was having a great time! And the band, WOW!!! Their energy was contagious; their talent unsurpassed! (I actually emailed another bride when I got home late that night to tell her about the band). If you are still looking for a band for your wedding, you have to check out the Michel Jons Band. I have the contact info!
