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!

 

 

 

 

Sarah + Jimmy: RUMC & Riverchase CC

We started out the wedding weekend with Sarah and Jimmy and all of their family and friends at a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.  I always say that when filming rehearsal dinners, the most interesting part is always the toasts.  Especially if everyone went to school together and are willing to share great stories! It makes for great footage!

 

For the wedding day, we had the opportunity to work with wedding planner, Molly Shook of Swanky Socials.  The wedding ceremony took place at Riverchase United Methodist Church with beautiful flowers by Kathy Miller.  Sarah was absolutely stunning in her White Room gown.  Beautiful girl!  From there, we followed the photographer (Artography) to the beautifully decorated Riverchase Country Club.  

 

Everyone had a great time dancing with the band!  It was a long day, but worth it! We got some amazing footage!  

 

Jessica + Slade: Riverchase UMC & Matt Jones Art Gallery

Beautiful, Jessica and the not so bad Slade (kidding!!) were married at Riverchase UMC on Saturday. We had the opportunity to with with Greg Hawkins of Studio G.  His photos are always amazing!  They never disappoint!

For the wedding reception, we went to one of our favorite reception sites, the Matt Jones Art Gallery!  The place is just naturally beautiful!  And is always managed perfectly by the GoPro team.

Here is a clip of Slade and Jessica sharing their first dance!

Lacey + Tyler: Riverchase UMC/The Club

During the midst of our crazy, busy week, we were able to capture Lacey and Tyler on their wedding day!  After a full house ceremony at Riverchase UMC, the wedding guests made their way to The Club for dinner, drinks, and dancing! 

 

We had a couple of connections to the bride and her family – 1) John knew the bride’s parents from Spain Park High School where they both were involved in the Football Coaches Show and 2) Lacey’s matron of honor was a former MSP bride!  We love to see familiar faces!  (Although it was probably 3 hours into the evening before things slowed down enough that I was even able to say hello to Natalie)

 

It had been a few years since we had been given the opportunity to work with Marsha Perry Photography.  We were excited to see her in action (instead of just at vendor meetings)!  All of us spent the evening chasing down the bride and groom and their guests  - making sure that we were capturing just the right moments. 

 

The band did a great job of keeping everyone on the dance floor.  It was a party like no other!  Below is a small highlight clip that we provided to the bride and groom as their sneak peak!

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.
