Your wedding video doesn't have to be boring

WHAT!!!!!!  Not all wedding videos are created equal.  Some are too quick, some are too slow, some have too much drone footage in them (yes, I said it).  I've seen some that are boring.  It doesn't matter if you had an 8-piece band at your reception or not, the video doesn't have to be boring.  

A wedding day should be a joyous occasion.  It's a time to celebrate!  If you want a wedding film that shows your friends and family dancing and having a great time, let us help!  

5 pretty awesome groom's cakes

I think one of the best trends over the past few years has been on groom's cakes.  A little while back, I did a post about showing school spirit in the creating of a groom's cake, but sometimes we see that it goes so much further than that.  And it's fun!  Plus look at the talent and creativity right here in the South!

Here are my favorite (and off-beat) groom's cakes, in no particular order...

1 - A drum set by Barb's Cakes at a recent B & A Warehouse wedding.  

2. Are you a world traveler?  Olexa's can make this fun cake for you!  Thanks B & A Warehouse!

3. Passion for fishing? This cake by Magnificent Cakes is perfect for you! Shared from The Sonnet House.

4. Whiskey anyone?  I can't locate the baker but Arden Photography at Windwood Equestrian was able to capture it before guests "drank" it! 

5. Ok, this might be my favorite. I love Charlie!!! Thank you Ann Wade Photography for sharing. Cake made by The Frosted Affair!

Lizzie and Rod | The Grand Bohemian Hotel

New venues are pretty exciting for wedding people!  And when you have a hotel like the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mtn. Brook, you know everything is going to be amazing!  We were actually part of the first wedding ever at the hotel so there were new places to explore for photos/videos.  I think the wedding turned out beautifully, as did the wedding film!

Ginna and Ty | Mountain Brook Country Club

Ginna is one of those people that you can see across the room and instantly know that you are going to love her.  She has a smile that can light up any darkness!  We were so honored when she and Ty chose Main Street to be a part of their wedding.  From the lovely flowers by Lillie Jane to dancing the night away with wedding band Az-Izz, the day was flawless.  That might have also had something to do with wedding planner, Anita Kanellis. Watch the video and see Ginna's dad serenading his bride on stage with the band.  I'm so glad that we were there to capture that PRICELESS moment.

Liz and Chris | Reid Chapel | The Club

So today is December 19, 2015 and it is a pretty special day around here.  Our Director of Awesome, Chris Carr, is getting married to his long-time girlfriend, Amy.  We are so happy for them!  What does this have to do with Liz and Chris' wedding film?  Well even though I asked our Chris not to stay up all night finishing this film, he did.  He wanted Liz to have her wedding film before he took a few days off for his honeymoon.  And he blew it out of the park too!  It's incredible.  That is why we call him our Director of Awesome. 

There is just something about Liz.  As soon as you meet her, you see it, you feel it.  After many years of dating, she and (her) Chris tied the knot late summer on Samford University's campus, at Reid Chapel.  It's gorgeous!  For their wedding reception, they traveled to The Club and had a blast dancing with the band all night, fabulous fireworks, and the cutest interactive father/daughter dance ever!

Amanda and Blake | Douglas Manor

Any gal that LOVES a fountain Diet Coke as much as I do, MUST be an awesome person!  And after waiting 5 years, Amanda and Blake were ready to get married!  Ready to have lots of fun on their wedding day!  Working at Douglas Manor is always a highlight, just as much as working with our friend David Boyd!  Fantastic photographer!

Christie and Corey | 6th Avenue Baptist Church

This latest film comes from the talents of Chris and Trip.  They work so well together and it shows in this beautiful film for Christie and Corey.  

The day started off at the Sheraton in Downtown Birmingham.  Christie and her girls were relaxed and just having fun (by the way, this is the way it should be)!!!!  Their wedding ceremony took place at 6th Avenue Baptist Church with their fun reception at the Harbert Center. And yes, that was the bride and her father, Whipping and a Nae Nae'ing! Love it!
