picture ledges

We noticed that our brides liked to hang things in the lobby so a few months ago we installed some narrow picture ledges on the long wall where you enter. I liked this photo from Bailey and Nathan's wedding (in the current issue of D Weddings). The photo was taken by Katie Norris. I did a rough sketch that shows the placement of the ledges. The spacing allows for both tall and short objects, there is even room for a life size bridal portrait (although you might want to think about where you are going to hang such a thing after your wedding)!

tasha and matt

Tasha had such a fun positive attitude during the planning process! Such a sweet couple and so in love - it really comes through in this video by the very talented When It Clicks! The beginning of this video is a great example of a "first peak" They really enjoyed their moments together and just forgot the camera was even around.

Style Me Pretty Feature

We are so proud to have Rip and Vanessa's wedding featured on Style Me Pretty! The photographer was Ben Q Photography. Click the medallion for the full feature.

Brittany and Chris

With lightening quick speed, Laura Parker of Fairy Tale Photography got these images to me from last Friday's wedding. Brittany and Chris had a fabulous combo ceremony and reception at the Annex. My favorite of these is of Chris twirling Brittany as they went down the aisle.

Joy's Bridals

Joy was such a sweet bride to work with! Now that she is officially married (as of yesterday) I can post these bridal portraits, her look is so Old Hollywood. FYI, we let all our brides book a bridal session or engagement session at the Annex for free. photographs by Derrick Oliver

Joy Got Married!

I had to post the snow photos before I posted this wedding, can you believe that it snowed just a couple of weeks before Joy's outdoor wedding. She had everyone on their knees praying that it would be nice weather and that is exactly what she got! She even got to go barefoot down the aisle. About half the guests brought blankets (suggested in the invitations) and the other half had chairs - 300 people total! No photographer credit here, just little amateur me. I will try to get some professional images soon.

Next I will post her bridal photos, I have had them for a while but had to promise to keep them private so Eric (her groom) wouldn't see!

Snow!
