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.

Jenna + Mark: St. Mark | The Club

WOW. Wow. and wow.  This wedding was definitely something to write home about.  The ceremony was beautiful with a full mass and a beautiful sounding choir that filled the church with melody.  The Club (although very beautiful) had never looked better all thanks to Jill Sampson, with Weddings by Jill and lighting by AG Designs.  

 

The entire event was under the careful instruction of Alene Gamel with I Do, I Do Weddings.  Alene is a perfectionist and perfection is what Jenna and Mark were given.

 

There are so many details that I could talk about.  Pink draping everywhere!  The 7 tiered (or more!)cake by Jan O'Donnell, delicious!  The many food stations.  The fireworks display that was out of this world!  And then an extra treat!  The guests came back in from outside and saw the newly formed cheesecake station!  Perfection, I am telling you.  

 

And then you have the little details that most people might not see, but mean so much.  My favorite was the vintage broach on Jenna's bouquet.  It was her grandmother's.  What a special way to honor a loved one. 

 

The band!  Hands down, the BEST!  The Atlanta Show Stoppers.  They were show stoppers!  I love the snapshot photo below of our couple dancing and singing on stage with the band.   Wonder what they are singing?  Never fear, we have the video that goes along with this picture.  They will be able to relive the day over and over!

 

I know that Greg Hawkins with Studio G captured some beautiful and fun photos!  His assistant for the day was Marsha Perry!  What a great team!

 

As I look back on my original notes from my meeting with Jenna.  Her vision was to have an inside garden with pinks and greens.  Well, this garden was fit for a queen!

Abby + Holder: Brookwood Baptist/The Club

Abby and Holder were married at the always beautiful Brookwood Baptist Church. The difference at this wedding - the entire city of Mtn. Brook attended!!!  It was a packed house!  But Abby was gorgous and so happy and Holder looked very debonair.   

 

We were fortunate to not only work with one of our AWEP/Photographer friends, Marsha Perry, but also Gretchen and Buddy Birdwell too!  We knew the day was going to be a blast!  And that the photos were going to be over the top!

 

After the wedding ceremony, the couple traveled to their reception at The Club.  It was stunning!  My oh my, the cake.  Wow!  Beautiful!  Really every part of the reception was beautiful!

Ashley + Jon: First UMC | The Club

Elegant.  I really think that is the perfect term to describe Ashley and Jon and their wedding.  The wedding ceremony was held at First United Methodist Church downtown under the direction of Jackie Gaut with Dana's Floral Design and Weddings.  So of course, the flowers were magnificent too!  

 

A couple of surprises for in store for the bride and groom on their wedding day.  During the wedding ceremony, the groom pulled out a surprise 2nd wedding band for his bride.  Later that evening, during the magical reception in The Club's ballroom, a surprise fireworks show was held just outside.  Just breathtaking!  

 

LaCour Photography out of Atlanta was great to work with!  And captured photos through out the dancing-filled night!  What a night!

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!
