Rebecca and Josh got married on a quiet winter day in January, at the Huntsville Country Club in Northern Alabama. In the morning, they each took time to get ready on their own at first, using it as an opportunity to contemplate and relax. As they finalized their prep for the wedding, they finished up getting ready with their parents and wedding party.
The bride, Rebecca, wore ballet flats as her wedding shoes! She chose a wedding dress with soft fabric and intricate beaded lace from Madison Town and Country Bridal, and found earrings that mimicked the beading in her bodice.
A close family friend did the florals for their indoor wedding ceremony, tying in ferns, white roses, baby's breath, and lilies to bring it all together. They set everything up in the main room of the Huntsville Country Club with a circular wedding arch.
Prior to the wedding day, Rebecca, Josh and I had gone to visit the wedding venue together and discuss lighting situations. Because it was a January wedding, we knew that the sun would go down quickly, and there was a good chance we would run out of light before their ceremony since it was scheduled for 4pm. So we decided to add some lights to the wedding ceremony setup to change the ambiance without having to use flash and potentially being a distraction while they got married!
After their ceremony, we went out onto the back lawn of the Huntsville Country Club and we did their wedding portraits with flash out on the golf course, with the lights of the wedding venue behind them.
They planned a choreographed first dance for when they got back to their wedding reception, and an outfit change!
When it was time for everything to wrap up, we did their bubble exit! The family had filled their getaway car with balloons, so they got held up for a moment before they were off.
MEET SARAH
Alabama & Southeastern Wedding Photographer
Inspired by genealogy and family legacy, I go into every wedding day with the knowledge that your wedding photos are some of the only photos that stick around generationally — they are a critical part of the story your family will learn about you! I consider it’s my responsibility and privilege to help tell that story honestly and elegantly.
You should probably know: I will cry during your dad's speech. I will be getting down on the dance floor with your guests. I'll help you plan intentional time with your partner and closest friends and family on your wedding day — and step back so that you can experience those core memories without interruption. I'll guide you through portraits and wedding prep, work closely with your other vendors to make the magic happen, and capture every moment of your wedding day in all its glory.
If that's the kind of wedding photographer you're looking for...
You're in the right place.
