Dane and Abbi

It was a beautiful summer day on May 16th when Abbi Barr and Dane Brown tied the knot at Mt. Zion Baptist Church! She looked like a goddess in her Greek-inspired wedding gown! Even Dane looked great in his tan, summer-style suit.

Abbi's bridesmaids all wore dark blue and carried coral colored roses. Abbi's bouquet had a special element, it was wrapped in lace made from her mother's wedding veil!

The couple took a stretch Navigator limousine to the reception at the Hilton Garden Inn. Both Abbi and Dane are Auburn fans. (The reason for their color scheme, I suspect!) The groom's cake was the Auburn University logo!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brown! We wish you a lifetime of laughter and love!

Josh and Meagan

May 9th was a pleasant summery day out at Oakhurst Farm for the wedding of Josh Fryer and Meagan Lee. Meagan was a beautiful bride with a spunky spirit! She carried a bouquet of spring wildflowers in pinks, yellows, and purples. Her bridesmaids carried similar bouquets and wore coral-colored dresses.

At the end of the outdoor ceremony, Josh took Meagan into his arms and dipped her back for a romantic kiss! It was very unique, creative, and fun!

The reception was also held at Oakhurst and everyone had a great time. Meagan left out no details! She was the first one of our brides to decorate the fireplace with a portrait from their engagement session! Our good friend Benji of MBS Entertainment played the tunes that kept everyone dancing into the night. The cakes were made by Taylor Mack and were absolutely gorgeous!

We got wonderful pictures of Josh and Meagan in front of the beautiful Oakhurst sunset... we get to witness the most colorful sunsets at Oakhurst! At the end of the evening, Josh and Meagan had an awesome sparkler exits... running through them three times! It was a blast! Best wishes to you Josh and Meagan! We hope your life together is as fun and full of love as your big day!
