Alabama Wedding Photographer ~ Emily and Matt ~ Part 2

Thursday, April 11, 2013

Reception Venue:  The {extremely cool} Avon Theater, Birmingham, AL
Catering:  Happy Catering
Baker:  Audrey Odom
Band:  Fountain City Players
Rental and Lighting:  Fun Source, Inc.

Emily’s sweet 97 year old grandmother watches as Em dances with her father.

Reception fun.

I can’t remember exactly what Dad’s speech/toast was about, but I think it had something to do with money…

If you’ll look closely, I think someone had a little help catching the bouquet.

I hope you’ve enjoyed getting a glimpse of what my day was like with Emily and Matt.   With Part 1 and Part 2 of their blog post, I mainly wanted to share the emotions and the fun that was had that day.  The day was honestly stress-free and so comfortable and I think what I took away from it the most was their love of each other, their family and their friends.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your day guys!

You looked stunning Emily.

The First Look.

The most emotional First Look I’ve ever photographed.

Dad’s job while waiting on the ceremony to begin was keeping Em’s veil off the floor.  He definitely took his responsibility very seriously and did a great job….  :)

The girls waiting their turn.

The ceremony.

Matt helps Emily into the Jag to go to the reception.

Part 2 coming tomorrow!  The reception was held at the beautiful Avon Theater.

I’ve driven by these dentist offices in Mobile many times, but have never actually been in them until recently when I shot these images for their new and upcoming revised website.  This was so much fun photographing these rooms and offices.  One of the doctors referred to this office as  his baby and pride and joy.  It was definitely obvious just how much pride he does have for his work and his patients.  These offices were so much fun to just be in, it made me wish I were a patient of there too!
