Timeless and elegant, that is how we would describe Madison and Warren’s wedding day. With an all-star team, lead by Becky’s Brides, we just knew the day would be perfect. And really how cool is it to get married at the Baseball Field? We are so fortunate that here in Birmingham we have so many awesome wedding venues!

I love it when I'm scrolling along, minding my own business, and one of our beautiful brides catches my eye.  Today I found Anna Laura and David's wedding featured on Bromberg's Wedding Website.  

These two really have a fantastic love story.  You should take a minute to visit the Bromberg's website to read it for yourself.  It's one of the best!   

And click here to read the recap post that I did (including their gorgeous wedding film)! You know what, I'll just add the wedding film here too, just to make it easy on you!

This throwback is not on a Thursday, so maybe it doesn't count.  Regardless there were so many special moments in the day that I wanted to relive, so we edited a 15 sec Instagram video of Shannon and Peter's wedding day.  I've also noticed that I never did an official blog post for this film so I will include the full wedding film as well.  

I love the excitement the bride and groom had for getting married.  I love the look on the Mother of the Bride's face when walking her daughter down the aisle (jewish wedding: it is customary for both parents to walk the bride down the aisle). The surprise fireworks at the end of the night at The Club are always spectacular!  

But more than anything, we love doing Same Day Edits or Next Day Edits.  Not only is it the biggest rush of adrenaline that we ever have, but YOU get to see your wedding with all of the emotions almost immediately!!!!  This is how it works.  We are filming and editing all during the day (takes more people on our end).  When the band takes their second break of the evening (or at another chosen time during the wedding reception),  we pull out a projector and WOW, you are reliving the best day of your life.  Take about the WOW factor!!!  We can only do a limited number each year, so let me know if you want us to do a Same Day Edit for you!

Still in love with this #NextDayEdit for our awesome couple!

It was love at first sight.  Maybe not really for the bride and groom, but for me when I first met Anna Laura.  After 15 minutes of talking with her, I knew that we wanted to be a part of their wedding day.  I was so happy when she picked us!  There were so many wonderful details that were going to give the day that extra special touch. And I have to say, even though I was talking with basically royalty, I felt that I was chatting with my closest girlfriends.  Anna Laura has that effect on people, even with all of her accolades through the Miss Alabama pageants.  

She was well on her way to assembling an awesome wedding team.  I don't know if I can say it enough - it really does make a difference when you pick quality, "great" vendors.  Everyone works together to make sure the desired result is achieved - making the bride, groom and their families have the perfect wedding day! Ashley with I Do, I Do Wedding Planning planned an amazing Reid Chapel ceremony with a fun reception at B & A Warehouse, both in Birmingham, AL.  

My favorite part of her wedding film was when the flower girl kept glancing at Dave when his bride was walking down the aisle.  Watch it for yourself and see. Sooo cute!!  What's your favorite part?

For the past few years, we have seen the popularity rise for Same Day Edits (you can read about them here), but recently the Next Day Edit appeared on the wedding scene.  As a vendor, I am not sure that they are any easier than a SDE; they actually might be harder to produce (because you are tired from the wedding already but still have to stay awake and edit throughout the night).  But the impact is still very high.

For this clip, our family wanted a little entertainment for their Farewell Brunch at ALOFT Hotel on the Sunday following the wedding.  We created this piece to not only help everyone to remember all of the details that came together to make a fabulous wedding but it also gave their family and friends (that were absent) a way of feeling a part of the celebration.

It was delivered that morning and our wonderful editor, John, came home and promptly went to bed!
