Emily& Rustin: Arden Photography

The day that I met Emily, I knew I wanted to be her photographer!  She had the sweetest personality and we immediately clicked.  This was one of those weddings where we basically spent the day hanging out and taking a few photos here and there.  I didn't meet Rustin until the rehearsal dinner but I knew who he was before I was introduced.  He was exactly the way Emily described him, charming and handsome; the perfect combination.  I thought to myself "Wow, does she even know how lucky she is"  and "Does he even know how lucky he is"?  The wedding day was a replica of these two personalities; two beautiful people, two amazing stories and too much love to ever imagine!  The day was filled with tears of joy, laughter and pure excitement as these two became one.  I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have shared this day with Emily and Rustin!  Congratulations to this sweet couple and I can't wait to see how your love story continues.  

Zoo Gala 2015: Arden Photography

The Birmingham Zoo held their annual Zoo Gala this past Friday night.  The event was held in it's signature location, Trails of Africa.  Thanks to The Major Event, everything was perfectly planned and beautiful! Andy Hopper of KG Designs was commissioned to provide the florals and decor.  With colorful lanterns and cozy seating areas, Andy really outdid himself for this year's event.  AG Lighting added a different touch for the Gala this year, a digital screen that was the focal point of the entire night. After the silent auction guests were entertained by live music and wonderful food provided by Kathy G and Company!  Since it was the Birmingham Zoo's 60th anniversary, an amazing cake was provided by Barb's. The Zoo Gala has been the talk of the town this entire week and we're so excited that the event was once again a huge success!  We can't wait to see all the surprises next year's event has in store!
