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.

Bill + Ali: Canterbury | Vestavia Country Club

Earlier this year we were approached by a romantic gentleman who wanted a unique way to proposal to his sweet girlfriend on Valentine's Day at the Alabama Theatre. John created the ultimate romantic movie, ending with Bill telling Ali how much he loved her and how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.  This was all shown on the big screen at the Theatre and when it was over, Bill was on one knee with her ring. It was beautiful!  And the best part, she said YES!  

 

So fast forward several months to a beautiful day in September.  Bill and Ali's wedding day.  Held at the always lovely Canterbury United Methodist Church, the ceremony was so touching - one I will never forget.  The guests danced the night away at the Vestavia Hills Country Club.  We had a hidden camera at the reception (this is not unusual), but when it was discovered, the bridal party had a great time dancing for it!  I might even have a shot of the groom bending down and kissing it!  Wow!  That is a MUST shot in the final video!!!! 

 

Here are a few stills taken from the wedding day.  I loved combing through the footage.

 

Please take a look at Ann Wade's images from the day. Fabulous photographer!!!  Here is her blog post.

Whitney + Billy: Reid Chapel & VHCC

This past Saturday we worked some of our favorite vendors to create a beautiful day for Whitney and Billy.  Anita Kanellis with AK Brides planned Whitney's wedding of her dreams.  Lighting was provided by Andy Tolar with Design Productions, making Vestavia Hills Country Club a beautiful shade of pink!  A couple of weeks ago, we did a photo shoot with Southern Bride Magazine where Rob Ingram was the photographer.  It was nice seeing him again at the wedding.  Another friend, Laura Eason had the very large task of doing makeup Whitney, her mom, and all of the bridemaids! Everyone looked beautiful!  Amazing band, Az-Izz, had everyone dancing so much that no one wanted to leave!  The day couldn't have been more perfect!

Jim & LeeAnn: Canterbury UMC | Vestavia Hills Country Club  

What a difference a week makes!  No rain, beautiful clouds, great day!  Jim and LeeAnn picked a beautiful March day to be married in an elegant black tie affair at Canterbury United Methodist Church.  We were delighted to work aside Brandon and Stacy Gresham of Gresham Photography.  Their images always look incredible.

 

Guests walked into the Vestavia Hills Country Club to romantic lanterns hung from everywhere they could be!  Rustic and old English!  I was right behind an excited LeeAnn when the club allowed her to sneak a peak of the ballroom before whisking the couple away for dinner.  Nationwide Coverage started the evening playing like they were a lounge jazz dinner ensemble.  Very classy.  I had not seen this side of them and was very impressed! Of course as the evening progressed, their energy level only increased and kept the guests on the dance floor for the entire (exhausting) night!!!   Nationwide Coverage entertained like no one else could have!!! (I have free demos if you are still looking for a band) 

 

It was a night to remember for all involved!  I can't wait to see the edited footage!
