Real Brides & Weddings

Story and photos by Megapixels Media Not only did we focus on a bold color science but we also played with different textures. Habitats venue has a beautiful dark wooden floor and white brick walls that we accented with black paint splattered balloons. Large potted tropical plants also decorated the venue along with authentic floral arrangements by The Rogue Petal Co. The couple’s outfits were also carefully chosen for this shoot. the Groom wore an emerald tailor-made suit from Shaw’s Covenant with gold accents and inserts. The Bride wore a lustrous white gown from Garnish Boutique and a custom crystal crown by Bridal Styles Boutique. She also wore hand made jewelry and hair accessories from J’adorn and a Ruby ring flanked by 2-carat pear diamonds. Our table was decorated by Aeboni of Plan Accordingly Events and highlighted with healing crystals …

Story and photos by Dani Nicole Photography  This was another one of my COVID affected couples who decided to turn the lemons life handed them into celebratory lemonade. They rescheduled their big wedding to the fall, but wanted to still get married on their original wedding date, so over the course of a few weeks, they planned an intimate gathering that turned out to be simply breathtaking. In the backyard of Brad’s cousin’s (the officiant) townhome, Chelsea set up a DIY ceremony area lush with pampas grasses, white ceramic vases, and candles, and created a modest boutonniere for her groom. They draped gauze fabric over copper rods and borrowed a large area rug from the neighbor. Set against a sprawling ivy-covered brick wall in soft filtered sunlight, it was the perfect area to exchange vows. Speaking of that rug-lending neighbor …

Photos and story by Gabriel Conover Photography  I have not shot many weddings at country clubs before, but Alta Vista Country Club was just absolutely beautiful. It’s so easy to take the beauty that is right next to us for granted. Mimi and Paul met me for their engagement shoot at Crystal Cove a few months before the wedding. We talked a lot and shared as much as we could about our lives in the couple of hours we got together. The beach was peaceful and serene. There were not many people there and the weather was so kind to us. Their wedding day was even more wonderful. The tears were all real! The ceremony was focused on Mimi and Paul’s relationship together and with God. Alta Vista Country Club truly provided the most beautiful ceremony site for these two …

Photos and story by Ariel Cameron Photography  This Styled Shoot was inspired by the desire for the bride and groom to have their European dream wedding in a different way because of the pandemic many brides and grooms are facing today. StoneWood Farms in Tuscaloosa, AL, is a dream venue for couples in the Southern part of the US to experience the beauty of European-styled venues while remaining close to home. Kingsley (Kali) and William (Dean) were prom dates in high-school so being able to have both destination inspiration while remaining close to the home they love made the day even more special. The bride’s beauty in the Build-a-Bride dress is unmatched. From the grand entrance staircase to the small floral details, this timeless shoot will give hope to brides having to adjust their big days closer to home.

Philippson and Brenna have been dating for 7 years before he finally decided to *pop the question* on the day before Thanksgiving right in front of Brenna’s fourth-grade students! Along with two of her favorite past students to accompany him during our big moment. It was very appropriate for him to ask her in school as they went to the same high school together.  Although he had a failed attempt at talking to her back in the day (or so he says… She recalls no such encounter) they reconnected a few years later when they began secretly dating. And here they are! Since they have been together for so long, their engagement has been moving pretty quickly. Their winery wedding is set for 11/28/20.

Photos and story by MPImages Photography This styled shoot is taken in a beauty event space named White Fallow Estate in Buford, GA. It was a bright warm Sunday evening when these couples joined us for some fun. One is a real couple, and you can certainly feel the love these newlyweds shared.

Story and photos by Justine and Wayne Phillip and Katherine were able to keep their original wedding date and everything went perfect. They got ready at a new hotel downtown, got married at the Cathedral, and had the reception at a revitalized church that has been turned into a vintage/modern venue. The trolley transported the wedding party and the couple left on a Pedicab. Katherine’s colors were beautiful sea salt and white.

Photos and story by Lisa Gemperline Photography Kylee and James had a wedding date planned then COVID-19 came along and they were married sooner than their wedding day with just their parents, a preacher, and a videographer.  They wanted to have landscape wedding photos once her dress was altered.    She was not married in this dress because her dress had not come in time for the sudden ceremony.  It was one of the most beautiful nights I’ve ever seen on the island and I can’t think of these pictures being taken on any other night so it must have meant to be.

Story and photos by C. Baron Photography In Mansfield lies a castle-like venue in Artiside – Chase & Aizia chose to marry in such a venue to create a dreamy gothic evening ceremony. Their super cute fur baby even walked down the aisle as well! Meeting in college, Chase & Aizia immediately hit it off with their love of baseball and all things gothic. We couldn’t be happier for these two!

Story and photos by Brandy Angel Photography Madison is a bride that is used to overcoming hard things. She has had two open-heart surgeries since she was born and is undergoing her third this December. When she began planning her dream wedding to her high school sweetheart she had no idea that she would be dealing with a worldwide pandemic, nationwide protests, and CDC guidelines that caused her to cut down her guest list to 40 people and find a new venue just two weeks before her wedding date. Luckily her father’s friend had the perfect place for their wedding and everything came together seamlessly. Mother Nature even delivered the most perfect sunset I’ve seen all year.  It just goes to show that no matter what happens on your wedding day that seems like it could ruin everything if you …

Photos and story by CG Wedding Photography Shaun and Jean-Pierre made a wonderful wedding couple and they chose to start their day in­ their own way. Taking more of an American approach, they had a first look moment on the grounds of Rivervale Barn. They decided to help each other get ready for their wedding and it was such a beautiful touch The reflections of them in the water are some of my favorite photos from the Surrey Wedding Photography portfolio. Heading back up to Rivervale Barn and these two were ready to become a married couple. It was such an amazing moment for not only them but all of their family and friends too. The lamp up the aisle was a simple touch that added to the bright colors of the room and the couple lead each other down …
