Hannah and Garret’s Wedding day was transcending, traditional, and elegant.
They chose our Exclusive Package that included a second shooter added on.
Their wedding was shot in Dream Field Farms in Union springs Alabama, (near Montgomery), and the bride is actually from this area and the venue is her family’s!

P.S- Checkout the cutest little detail in their wedding accessories that says “Better together, like Milk + Cookies”. Such a sweet detail!

This venue was phenomenal! The bride and groom had an artist capture their alter setting in a painting to have a sentimental keepsake of their big day!
Mary, the second shooter, and I left early to get lunch in a historic town nearby. The drive felt like nothing catching up with her!

Garret actually was the accountant for CMC for the past two years, and now he’s a CMC groom and we work together at our day jobs!

The first look with this CMC couple allowed us to get all of the family photos before the ceremony, which saved us SO much time!
Garett had the sweetest reaction to his soon-to-be-bride and having a second shooter really allowed us to capture it to the fullest extent!
(A huge reason I am a fan of our associate photographers system at CMC!)

Hannah and Garret both have such tender and caring hearts, seeing their love for one another was so easy to capture while working with them. I am so thankful to have them as a CMC couple!

This bride also did a first look with her bridal group and her dad!

The bride and groom did a private dinner alone before the ceremony!

Photographer Tip:
Private dinners are a great way to have a moment alone and soak in the whole day. The bride and groom chose to do this, then when they were done all of the guests and vendors were done eating, ready to document more photos including the couple seeing every guest.

This was my first ever wedding having a fog machine during the first dance, and WOW did it stand out for their pictures! It not only made the moment memorable for everyone, but also made the pictures magical!

You’d never guess by the reception pics, but this was a DRY wedding! Mary and I left smiling and saying it was by far one of the best receptions we’d done. The bride and groom were completely showered with love and laughter, and guests were having a blast dancing and singing, it really was just so much fun!
