Natalie & Beau sneak peak from the Salter's

Mick and Rita Salter of Salter Photography, who are always such a joy to work with, were the photographers for Natalie and Beau's Big Day. Mick sent me these shots last night just to wet your appetite... watch out for this wedding in Southern Wedding Style Magazine's print edition (launching this fall!). Thanks so much Mick and Rita for these fabulous pictures and for a fantastic evening!!!



5/9/07 UPDATE: here are more fun pics from our in house photographers extraordinaire... Kim Sellers and Samantha Crooke.... enjoy!

Congratulations Natalie & Beau!

There just aren't words for how phenomenal this wedding was! Stay posted for several blog entries to come about Natalie and Beau's BIG DAY... and it was BIG!!! Belly dancers, martini slides, and a gorgeous and gracious family are just the beginning of what made this night my favorite wedding of all time. Here's a sneak peak of Amanda, Danielle, Sam, Kara Marie, Natasha and I in the photo booth! CONGRATULATIONS Mr. and Mrs. Pollard!!!

Congratulations Erin and John!

This weekend, Amanda and I had the pleasure of celebrating with Erin and John, along with their families and friends. Erin and John live in New York City, so they bravely planned from afar. Their amazing ceremony took place directly on the beach with the reception at Portofino Resort on Pensacola Beach. The chef and restaurant staff outdid themselves for the occasion. Check out the pictures below of the celebration.

The two lone groomsmen who started the much needed "South Side" Dance Floor. This picture was taken before they advertised for others to join.

Celebrating their victory of bringing the "South Side" Dance Floor to life!

Betty Weber's cake was a hit, as always! This is just the top layer that was left for the bride and groom.

John's Dad and Stepmother led the way on the dancefloor!

Congratulations again and, please, keep in touch. Best wishes for the future!

We are busy and HAPPY! This work is awesome and we all feel blessed to have the honor to do it each and every day. Here are a a few behind the scenes shots of what our office looks like right now - candy (125lbs!) and parasols and lounge furniture, oh my! : )
