A Sweet Wedding from Jennifer Jones Photography

August 4th, 2010

IMG_0686On Saturday, July 24th, I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Hillary and Jon in Birmingham, AL.  They were married at The Cathedral of St. Paul.  What an amazing church.  The evening light streaming in made the Cathedral especially romantic.

The church recently built a new hall that is truly a wonderful for space for any reception.  From the ultra large wooden french doors leading to a terrace, to the the balcony from which the newly married couple made their first appearance, it oozed romance and elegance.

Hillary looked so beautiful in her designer wedding gown by Watters fromThe White Room.  Her shoes were Stewart Weitzman’s from Saks and her jewelery from Jcrew bridal. The girls wore beautiful black bridesmaids dresses designed by Lula Kate from Bella Bridesmaid.

The men looked so handsome in a traditional black tuxedo.  The cater was Cafe Iz.  Oh my gosh, the food was spectacular.  They served beef that was prefectly tender, as well as shrimp, which was a huge favorite of the guests.  There were also crab cakes, cheeses and even chicken tenders…Music was provided by the Motown band, Momentum, from Atlanta. People ate and danced until well after midnight…

I had an up-close and personal chance to see how attentive Hillary and Jon are to one another.  What a joy to see two people so happy!  Congrats to you both! –Jennifer Jones Photography

Wedding Workshop with Dianne Walters!

July 29th, 2010

Today was our first Engaged Wedding Workshop! It went so well and the brides just loved having that one on one time with a wedding expert to ask all their struggling planning questions. We learned all the main reasons why we need a planner on our big day. Reasons why a professional can handle a timeline of when brides need to be announced the first time as husband and wife, coordinate the entertainment for announcing when to cut the cake, making sure that the bride and groom have not a clue if something goes array. A special thank you to Dianne Walters with Successful Events Plus! If you are engaged and are complating having someone to be responsible for your timeline of events please call on Birmingham’s expert: Dianne Walters
