A bride with a beautiful smile, a loving groom and surprise fireworks! What a night!  We love that Jennifer enjoyed her wedding day so much that she wants to do it all over again!!!  You can tell by her smile throughout the video that she was having the time of her life!  

Jennifer with her planner, Rachael Grammer with Two Hearts Weddings & Events assembled a great team for the late Summer wedding.  Jerrod Brown Studios' work is always stunning and he didn't dissappoint this time either.  And talk about gorgeous flowers! Wow, HotHouse Design Studio hit it out of the ballpark!  

And remember I mentioned that surprise fireworks.  It was awesome. Watch their highlights clip to see!

You couldn't have asked for a more perfect day with the ceremony and wedding reception at the newly renovated Wynfrey Hotel/Hyatt Regency.  Stephanie and her mom had teamed up with Alene Gamel of I Do, I Do Wedding Planning and created a beautiful and heartfelt wedding day with a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony.  (Not to mention, I think they chose pretty great teams of photographers and videographers too!) You can read Alene's recap of the wedding here.  Plus you will get to see all of the beautiful photos by Reichmann Photography.  The flowers by Leah Hazard were gorgeous!  And the centerpieces she created were truly breathtaking.  

And of course, watch the wedding day highlights below to get a glimpse of their fun wedding day!

Sunny yellow flowers everywhere that perfectly matched Kelli's sunny disposition.  That is what stands out most about this wedding.  Kelli had assembled a great team of vendors which always makes the day easier, smoother, and really better.  Anita Kanellis of AK Brides was the planner, David Shirk of Unplugged Photography (and Ari) were doing their thing that they do so well, Coats Classic Cars was on site, Design Productions made it all lovely, Heidi Elnora designed Kelli's perfect wedding gown, and The Club's service at the wedding reception was exceptional. Watch Kelli and Robert's highlight video to see the fun!

Fun! Fun!

When Megan's mom bragged about her beautiful and talented daughter, as all moms do, I really didn't think much about it.  Obviously I could tell how proud she was.  But then when I met Megan, I understood!  She is a beautiful and successful woman and we all had so much fun on her wedding day.  And Joel is just the perfect guy for her.  Enjoy their wedding day highlights from Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Hoover, AL and a reception at The Club.

You might remember seeing a previous post about this wedding when I received a beautiful thank you note from Abbie's mom.  Read it here.  So you already know how much I love this family.  It is with much joy that we release their wedding day highlights. Just look at all of that gorgeousness at Shoal Creek Country Club! Thanks to Stacy Richardson Photography and Carol Riley (Lillie Jane's Flowers).  

Perfection. That is the only word needed to describe Abbie and Neal's wedding day. Take a look for yourselves. Music provided by Song Freedom.

Wow, what can I say about this couple!  I loved them!  They were the kind of couple that you want to hang out with after the wedding.  You want us to come over for Thanksgiving, sure.  THAT kind of couple.  They were getting married for alll of the right reasons.  They loved each other so much and it shows all throughout the video. 

Lou Ellen and Jeff assembled a great team for their wedding, held atThe Sonnet House in Leeds, AL.  Together with their photographer, Brandon Gresham of Gresham Photography, we were able to capture their true love all day in a fun atmosphere.  Every girls' dream! Watch their highlights and see if you just don't smile.

ALL of the credit for this video goes to a guy that has worked with us for years behind the scenes.  He shoots with us, edits for us, talks tech to John when I could care less.  Justin is a great guy, who happens to have loads of talent.  He shot and edited this wedding for Main Street Productions.  He is starting to have his own following among MSP brides! 

When Leigh Ann and Josh were planning their wedding at Rosewood in Pinson, Alabama, Renee (the owner) told them how important video would be.  Thankfully they listened.  Just a short time after the wedding, Leigh Ann's beloved grandmother passed away.  We all know our loved ones won't be with us forever but something about them leaving us unexpectedly makes it harder.  Not only do they have wonderful memories of grandma dancing at the wedding reception, but they also have a wonderful video to watch.  Thanks Justin!

For some time now, I have been debating on whether to publish this post.  But I think I am to the point now where I hope that it will do a lot of good. 

Wedding vendors are a tight knit group.  We work hard, put in more than our fair share of hours and then get up and do it all over again.  We also socialize with each other.  When you don't have normal co-workers to complain to, be excited for, you look to each other for valuable information or reassurance.  The good ones realize what an important day your wedding can be and are excited about being a part of it.  

But what we are hearing is disturbing.  Brides are talking with each other about how to get discounts from vendors, or how to yell and scream to get something for free. I even saw a chain of posts on The Knot's forums on this very thing.   The advice consisted of being dishonest in talking with her vendors, using cut-throat tactics, all just to get some small percentage off. 

I would just like to say that this is not the best approach.  Here is a little known secret in the wedding industry. 

Be really nice to your vendors.  Treat them as an artist of their craft.  Treat them like real people.  Respect them. 

You might be suprised what you get for free.

I LOVE this couple!  They are beautiful on the inside and outside, with a whole lot of fun mixed in.  Alicia and Evan live in Montgomery with the cutest pooch around!  Evan plays for the Toronto Blue Jays (I'm told this is professional baseball, sorry sports fans, I can't keep up!!) and I bet he is good at his job.  From my first conversation with his mom, I could tell how proud she was of him. It was an honor to be able to document this FUN wedding for their families.    

This highlights video makes me smile, all 4+ minutes of it.  I love the flower girl's subtle reaction to the bride and groom's first kiss. I really love the way this charming groom takes off the bride's garter.  It was hilarious! Oh and look for the clip of the bride's father wheeling across the dance floor.  Priceless.

One of Birmingham's best hidden gems is a place in Chelsea called Autumn Ridge.  It is a beautiful home that serves as a fantastic place for a wedding.  The ceremony area overlooks a massive open sky that is instantly calming.  Check out more details from this new venue by watching Liz & Nick (and Luke's) wedding highlights.
