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!

Summertime here in Alabama can be tricky for hosting an outdoor wedding.  Thankfully for Lauren and Brian (and their friends and family), it was the perfect day for an Aldridge Gardens' wedding.  A special thanks to Sam for doing an awesome job on this project!

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!

Being the wedding industry, we have to remember that not everyone lives and breathes weddings and events like we do.  Sometimes we have moms of the brides that haven't planned a wedding in over 20 years.  

A couple of months ago, I was chatting with a MOB that had called about using us for their wedding videography. The bride was getting married in May of this year.  After telling the mom that we were not available, she made a comment that I had not heard before.  She said, "I guess there is no such thing as a June bride anymore." Although I was raised in the South, I don't know a lot of the typical Southern phrases.  So I consulted Google.  

According to folklore, "The goddess Juno was the protector of women in all aspects of life, but especially in marriage and childbearing, so a wedding in Juno's month was considered most auspicious."  Well there you go.  

Wedding season, here in the South, can range from March until October, and many brides choose the cooler months to have a Winter Wonderland-themed wedding.  We don't find that June is the only month that people want to get married.  Some months are so busy you forget to eat (almost!).  To get the pick of the vendors you want, plan on booking them a year out. It's not always necessary, but remember June is not the only month that brides want to get married.

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?

Michelle and Donnie have a beautiful love story.  We were so thrilled to be a part of their Sunday afternoon wedding at The Sonnet House, in Leeds, Alabama.  

"Michelle chose soft, neutral colors for her wedding. For her bridesmaid’s dresses she handed out paint chips to her girls with the color palette she wanted. The result as each bridesmaid wearing a beautiful dress {in the proper color scheme} that was perfect for her body and most likely a dress they will wear again. The flowers were romantic, whimsical blooms and garlands perfect for a fall day." - The Sonnet House.  To read more, click here.

It seems like once a month we have a wedding or corporate event at The Club (Birmingham, AL). Of course they produce beautiful weddings, but the view of the city of Birmingham is the BEST!  

The ladies that run the sales and marketing department are second to none.  You are always greeted with friendly smiles.  I tell everyone that will listen, it is the only venue in town that can serve 300 people a hot, fresh, plated meal at a wedding. It just further shows their aim for perfection and professionalism. 

This video promo uses clips from several weddings and events that we filmed.  You will see the behind the scenes set up transforming the big room into a magnificent ballroom.  You can really imagine your wedding being held at The Club! 

Once you have booked The Club for your wedding, contact us for your own wedding video!
