After bonding over the love of golf, Jordan and John were married this summer at Sylacauga, Alabama at the First Baptist Church with the reception held at the bride's parents' house. Their wedding day was filled with emotion, excitement and cute golfing-related details!  Thanks to John and Amanda for doing such a great job on this video!

Sometimes weddings (and wedding films) take on different meanings as life happens.  You start off planning the wedding of your dreams.  You pick fabulous vendors, the most beautiful venue and everything is perfect. Two weeks before the wedding, your groom's mom gets diagnosed with cancer. The wedding turns into a celebration of life to give the family the strength to battle what's ahead. It's a fun party!  Everyone has a great time!  You go skipping off on your honeymoon with your handsome groom and come back with a little "surprise." Just another reminder what is truly most important in this world.  Congratulations Lindsé and Andy - on the wedding, the marriage, the baby on the way and for wonderful test results that came back from Andy's mom! Enjoy your wedding film!

My favorite parts of this wedding day are the first looks!  Megan's first look with her dad will bring tears to your eyes!  Every girl needs a dad that loves her this much!!! When it was time to see Levi for the first time, you can hear how taken back he was on the way she looked. After gushing on how beautiful she looked, Levi commented,  "You make me look really ugly right now."  ha! Love it!!! Take a listen for yourself!

If you know me at all, you know I love Ross Bridge.  I love it for weddings, for playtime by the pool, even for the breakfast brunch!  Add to that a very sweet bride and her loving parents and it was an event I did not want to miss. 

It was one of those meetings where I fell in love. I try not to let this happen, but it does.  I was so happy that they chose us for the wedding because that meant I could spend more time with them!  Sure, Saman is beautiful, very intelligent and so wonderful to be around.  Did you know that she actually had marriage proposals from around the world!!!!  But she chose to marry for love, a MIT professor (or was it Harvard???  Doesn't matter, he's smart, cute, nice and compliments her so well) who swept her off her feet. 

Just watch the video to see his reaction to seeing her for the 1st look!

When I first spoke with Juli (and Jacob) I was amazed at how they were functioning so well in their life.  They both had full time jobs while planning a wedding and building their dream home.  This dream home was to be the wedding site.  But they were calm.  They had been dating for years and they were ready to finally be married.  They had pride for their house and were excited to share it with friends and family who were to gather to celebrate the couple exchanging their wedding vows. 

When we arrive on site, we can see why this site was the only choice for the wedding.  It was gorgeous!  The view was incredible!  And the house was beautiful!  The only thing more beautiful was the bride.  I loved how their friends, who were basically family, all came together to make the day perfect.  Even when the guitarist blew a circuit during the 1st dance and all of the lighting went dark, it was still perfect, because it allowed for an impromptu sing-a-long from the entire crowd.  It was a good lesson that at the end of the day, no matter what happens, you still get to marry the person of your dreams. - Angela Deaver

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!
