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.

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!

 

 

 

 

AliceAnne + Josh: Auburn, AL

AliceAnne and Josh's wedding was the most exquisite wedding I have ever seen!  From the sanctuary turned garden oasis at Auburn United Methodist Church to the beautifully decorated reception at Moore's Mill, every detail was perfect, thanks to wedding planner Beverly Andrews of Engaging Celebrations.  

 

Design Productions provided amazing uplighting for the tents, Diane Olexa made the largest bride's cake EVER, and we got to work with Jamie Burnett (photographer) for the 1st time.  We are so very fortunate to get to do what we love!

Taylor & Johnny: The Sonnet House

So I was told that in Beverly Andrews' (Engaging Celebrations) 15 year history of planning weddings, that she never had had a wedding rained out.  But it really did look like rain for Saturday, so a tent was ordered, set up and decorated.  When we arrived at the Sonnet House to start getting ready coverage for the beautiful Taylor, the weather was perfect!  And it stayed that way until they were leaving when a little mist started.  You couldn't have asked for better weather or for a more beautiful wedding!  Every detail was handled perfectly by Beverly and her staff.  I always say this, but when you have a professional wedding planner caring for your wedding, it runs so much smoother.  HIRE A PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PLANNER!

 

A few years ago, we worked with Angela Karen Photography for the 1st time.  We were so happy to be able to do so again this weekend!  And it was so much fun!  I know that we were able to get some amazing footage so I know they did too!

 

Olexa's crafted the most beautiful wedding cake, and of course, it was delicious!  For guest favors, Pastry Arts put 2 baby bites into a take home box!  Soooo cute!  Vince with FlowerStems arranged amazing flowers, with beautiful Fall colors.  And finally, all of the guests had a wonderful time dancing to Nationwide Coverage!
