Tate and Becca

A little bit of drizzly rain was not going to stop Becca and Tate's big day at the Rankin Gardens and Atrium on May 2nd! It lightly rained off and on all day, but it certainly was not a spolier to the fun! We had a BLAST working with Becca and Tate!!! Both are so incredibly funny and entertaining and not to mention awesomely photogenic! Becca was a vision in her strapless dress with sparkling detail on the waist. She chose an ocean blue color for her bridesmaids dresses. Becca carried a beautiful bouquet of springtime wildflowers and her girls carried bouquets of wildflowers and roses... all designed by the one... the only... Mayumi Hashiyama of Designs by Mayumi. Mayumi's floral designs are always magazine picture perfect!

This wedding had an extra special bridesmaid. Julie and Keith's cousin, Felicity Ligon, drove in from North Carolina to be a part of the wedding party and activities. We miss you already Fleecy!!!

Becca and Tate's families and friends had a great time at the reception, which was catered by the Rankin Quarter. Becca took some time out of reception mingling to boogie down with her bridesmaids. Becca has quite the moves and Tate's not too shabby either! :)

Tate entertained the guests with a mock "strip tease" dance while taking off Becca's garter! Everything was going great until while removing his jacket, he swung it around, and accidentally smacked Becca in the face with it. Umm... not a great way to start the marriage Tate. Ha! It was a cute quick moment that of course Julie captured so Tate can be reminded of it forever. Hee hee.

Congratulations Becca and Tate! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your awesome day! We hope you had an awesome honeymoon in Jamaica! Hugs! Julie Hedges

Melvin and Amy

March 7th was a beautiful spring day for Amy Cotten and Melvin Steed! They got married at the Virtuous Living Chapel in Columbus. Amy looked beautiful in her strapless dress with sparkling detail on the bodice. She chose a pale, springtime blue for her flowers and bridesmaids. Both her and her bridesmaids carried blue hydrangeas.

The wedding party and both families were very excited for the big day. To make it even more special, Melvin's father, a pastor, officiated part of the ceremony, welcoming Amy into the family.

The reception was held at the Rankin Quarter. All of the guests and wedding party had a great time dancing with the bride and groom. At one point, Melvin's groomsmen talked him in to doing the 'kickworm' dance from the 80's!

We wish you all the best, Amy and Melvin!
