Jenn & Tim
Jenn and Tim prove that no matter how far two people start off from each other, life finds a way to bring them together. Their story is one of destiny, faith, and love (definitely love)! What better place for a new chapter to begin than overlooking a lake?
We loved …
… Tim did not want to let her go! After their first look and photos together, Jenn went to go back inside and Tim reached for her. He did not want her to leave his side. Even as they were getting photos taken only a few yards from each other, they kept stealing glances at each other. Their forever began at that moment and they did not want to miss a minute of it! This is one of the great things about couples seeing each other before the wedding, you get to spend one of the biggest days of your life hanging out with your best friend.
… their personalized vows! If you watch our films, you already know that we LOVE personalized vows! Jenn and Tim used their personalized vows to, not only share their promises to each other, but also to share parts of their story with their guests. I’m sure some of the guests did not realize Tim had forgotten to pick up his parents at the airport and drove a thousand miles to see Jenn. It is a beautiful thing to get a small glimpse into a love (their love) that would make you forget everything else around you.
… they are animal people! We have a slight obsession with our dogs, so we love that Jenn and Tim are dog people. They are even dog foster parents for Two by Two Animal Rescue. Of course their pups had to be a part of the wedding day! They were dressed in their finest and were happy to be a part of the day.
… the lanterns! The evening ended with floating lanterns filling the sky. It was romantic, magical and the perfect end to the day.
Thank you Jenn and Tim for trusting us to capture your destiny! We loved every moment of it!
A couple of fun facts: We got to see Trish and Richard at the wedding! They had just celebrated their first anniversary. It was our second weekend in a row working with J.Woodbery Photography.
No matter how far two people may start off from each other, life finds a way to bring them together. A thousand miles wasn’t enough to keep these two apart. We are pleased to share Jenn & Tim’s story.
Camille & David | Napa Valley Wedding
We first met Camille at a wedding we were filming in 2010. She was the (super talented) photographer and we instantly clicked with her. Flash forward to earlier this year, when I received a text asking if we were available for May 4th for someone who was “possibly engaged.” We were beyond excited for Camille and could not wait to meet David! Camille is seriously so sweet, funny, genuine and honest, you instantly want to be her friend!
Camille is multi-talented, and is not only a talented photographer, but also a talented nurse. When she was working in San Francisco as a traveling nurse, she fell in love with Napa. So, she decided to have a destination wedding in Napa and have all of their friends and family fly in for an amazing experience.
We loved …
… the southern charm they brought to California! The south is all about friends, family, good food and drinks. The long rectangle tables were great for conversations as food was passed down the table. Laughter filled the vineyard.
… friends and family traveled from all over to Napa! Having a destination wedding creates an intimacy among everyone there, because they all had gone to great lengths to be there for Camille and David . Joy and love radiated from every guest there.
… they let the wedding reflect them! Camille and David chose a location that they fell in love with and did not let their geographic location limit them. They made their wedding about them and everyone else was lucky enough to go on the amazing journey with them.
… the head over heals love! They were so excited to be marrying each other. The way they talked about each other, looked at each other and held on each other simply radiated love! Every couple should be consumed with each other on their wedding day.
… they let the venue serve as the decor! Their wedding was gorgeous! However, instead of going overboard on adding to the vineyard, they let the beauty of the vineyard act as part of the decor.
… their vendors were not limited to the region they were getting married in! Camille and David’s wedding video and photos were really important to them. So, instead of hiring someone in Napa that they did not know, they chose to bring the people they trusted with to them. Most wedding videographers and photographers love to travel! So, find someone you really connect with and bring them to you. After all, you will be spending a lot of time with them on your wedding day. Make sure they make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Thank you Camille and David for trusting us to capture your amazing wedding! We feel lucky to have gotten to witness your amazing love!
Christi & John | The Battle House Hotel
Christi and John’s friends realized they were perfect for each other! However, it took Christi and John a little longer to come to the same conclusion. Once they realized it too, they did not let Christi’s recent move to Memphis stand in their way!
We loved …
… their style! Christi and John’s wedding had the perfect mix of classic, history, glamour and intimacy. The Crystal Ballroom at the historic Battle House Hotel in Mobile, Alabama was the perfect backdrop for family and friends to celebrate Christi and John’s marriage. Christi dress looks like it was made to be worn at The Battle House!
… their smiles! They did not stop smiling all day! Throughout the morning Christi reminisced about meeting John and their relationship. They both kept saying how they could not wait to see each other. Once they were together, they were not more than an arms distance the remainder of the day!
… their faith! Christi and John began their relationship with God as the center and as they begin their marriage, they continue to put Him first. It is a beautiful thing!
Congratulations Christi and John! Thank you for trusting us and letting us be a part of your beautiful Mobile wedding!

Thanh + David | The Sonnet House
Thanh called us a couple of weeks before their wedding because they had decided they really wanted a wedding film. Thanh’s smile and energy just radiated through the phone and we instantly wanted to be a part of their wedding! Of course when we found out her wedding included some of our favorite people in Birmingham, The Sonnet House and Simple Color (Brandon & Stacey Gresham), we knew the day would be great!
We loved …
… that Thanh and David have been together since high school (they are now med students at UAB)! They were both a little nervous before the first time they saw each other, but once they were together they both relaxed. They fit together so well, like best friends should.
… the coming together of their two families! Thanh’s family and Vietnamese heritage blended perfectly with David’s family. Throughout the day, all four of their parents were after together dancing, laughing and even sharing a few happy tears. It is so beautiful to see two families truly became one!
… how gorgeous Thanh was! Seriously, she could not have been more picturesque. And her smile lit up the whole place!
… the ringbearer Knight! He was seriously the most excited (and cutest) ringbearer Knight we have ever seen. He took his job very seriously and was going to save the princess. 
… the vintage car they left in! The 1959 Jaguar Mark IX Saloon from Coats Classic Cars made for a gorgeous getaway.

Rakia + Patrick
Not too long after Rakia and Patrick were engaged, we had a Skype meeting. We instantly felt bonded to them! So, when April 20th finally arrived, we were so excited for their wedding!
We loved …
… their love and respect for each other! Within minutes of being around them (or watching their wedding film), you instantly see how head over heels in love they are. We love the look on Patrick’s face as he sees Rakia for the first time walking down the aisle. And Rakia does not stop smiling all day long! The looks they give each other will seriously make you melt!
… that Rakia and Patrick planned their wedding together! Weddings are often viewed as the bride’s day, but the wedding day should represent the coming together of two lives. Rakia and Patrick both spend lots of time putting thought into the details of their wedding day. When we arrived Saturday morning, Patrick was putting the last touches on the centerpieces. Also, Rakia couldn’t help following up on things while getting her hair and makeup done. Everything was perfect in the end and the day was a perfect representation of them!
… their great dance skills! It was so much fun watching The Hassell’s dance. It’s just the beginning of a lifetime of fun and laughter for them!
Thank you Hassell’s for allowing us to witness an amazing love story! We are so happy for you! You were no “Hassell” at all!
