Scottie and Katherine’s wedding held a special place in our hearts. Stacey and I spent a good bit of our time at Samford with Katherine, and Stacey continued to study with her all the way through grad school. So when Scottie approached me about shooting their big day (Daringly before the proposal), there was no way we could say no.
It’s been a joy to photograph a couple of big moments leading up to their wedding this past weekend … including the proposal story last winter, and their engagement session last month!
Shooting their wedding was doubly fun for us, since we share a good number of mutual friends, making Saturday feel less like work and more like a grad school reunion!
Thank you Katherine and Scottie for inviting us to share this awesome moment with you guys! As you enjoy the “secret” honeymoon in Mexico, here’s a couple of shots from your wedding day!
A neat little fact … Scottie and Katherine each had their portraits taken at their respective alma maters …. Birmingham-Southern and Samford …
Almost all of Scottie’s groomsmen were HUGE ultimate frisbee players … so despite some scorching heat, they decided to take off the coats and through the disc around for awhile …
Vulcan Park is such a great place to have wedding receptions. Unfortunately, the weather was less than cooperative with us … and soon after we finished the first dances … some crazy rain clouds forced everyone inside …
But thankfully, with some help from the guys at the reception, we were able to move the party inside, and rock out with Van from Feel the Beat Entertainment!
Loved the glow sticks!
We headed up to the top of Vulcan for a few shots after the rain stopped, and Scottie opted to throw the garter down to his groomsmen a hundred feet below!
And YES, the Colorbooth was in full swing during the reception! So even when the rain forced everyone inside, there was no shortage of fun portraits!
