Ben and Heather, December 20th


On a cloudy winter day in LaGrange, Georgia, Ben Huddleston and Heather Buchanan were married at First Baptist Church! It was a candlelight ceremony, which we haven't seen in a very long time. There were candles all over the altar as well as in the aisle as pew markers. Each candle lit by florist Vicki Rockwell and her husband!

Heather's gown was a classic, elegant design. It was a strapless dress with sparkling detail at the waist and buttons all the way down the back of a train. She looked like a movie star! She carried beautiful red roses that matched her bridesmaid's dresses. The bridesmaids also carried roses, but theirs were peachy-orange and yellow.

Speaking of the bridesmaids...they were a fun group! The groomsmen were too. They were all happy for Ben and Heather's big day, but didn't hold back on the wisecracks and practical jokes!

The reception was held at Oakhurst Farm. The hall was beautifully decorated by the White Orchid. As usual, Kimble's catering provided an elegant selection of delicious food. The bride's cake was pretty, with a sparkling 'H' for a topper, and was designed to be a replica of the detailing on the bride's dress. Instead of a groom's cake, they had a cheesecake bar! There were several different flavors of cheesecake to choose from.

The bride and groom along with the wedding party and guests, danced the night away to DJ Benji Shephard's great music. One of our favorite parts of the night was watching Heather's mom and dad boogie! They had a great time!

The bride and groom had a unique idea for their Signature Mat portrait. Instead of a white mat, they got a black mat, and had the wedding party sign it in silver. This made it an even more special keepsake for the couple to cherish.

Best of luck to you both, Mr. and Mrs. Huddleston! Congratulations on your big day!

Oakhurst Farm Bridal Show

Julie and I had a lot of fun yesterday (January 18th) at the Oakhurst Farm Bridal Show! This show is always fun because we get to spend more time talking to brides, moms and even grooms!

Julie and I personally talked with over 30 brides at the show, and many of them were familiar with our work! There were several that we'd met the past week at the January Wedding Extravaganza!

Our booth just happened to be located right in front of our friend, DJ Benji Shephard of MBS Entertainment! His great music kept Julie and I pumped up and energetic through the whole day!

Please leave a comment and say hello if you're visiting the site because you met us at the Oakhurst Show! We'd love to hear from you and look forward to working with you!
