My favorite thing about Jamie when I first met her to talk about her wedding day was her confident, girly style. I loved that she wanted to incorporate that all throughout her details from her color palette and even to her bridesmaids' dresses! When everything came together on the wedding day, everything could not have looked more perfect! The couple was so photogenic, they were the picture perfect bride and groom!
Congratulations Jamie and Alex!
It has been one month since this beautiful couple tied the knot at Windwood Equestrian, and we can't help but reminisce on this gorgeous day and wish this couple a happy one month! The farm looked more beautiful than ever. Thorne & Thistle decorated the farm beautifully! The couple exchanged vows under the trees in the field surrounded by their close family and friends. Lauren and Graham spent their first few minutes together as husband and wife taking some special shots as the sun went down! The timing could not have been more perfect! Guests danced the night away after enjoying Savoie's, delicious dinner! The day went perfectly thanks to Handley McCrory and her team!
Congratulations, Lauren and Graham! We loved being apart of your special day!
We just couldn't help ourselves...we had to share some of our favorite moments from Lauren and Graham's wedding day! We have loved reliving the day, and know that you will too!
We may be heading into the second month of 2018, but we are still in love with 2017's shoes! Take a peek at Arden Photography's best of 2017 shoes! We love a good pair of decked out sneakers, but you can never go wrong with a glamorous pair of classic high heels. You are sure to find some inspiration from these stylish picks to walk you down the aisle on your big day. Be sure to stay with us for more of our 2017 Best Of posts.
Like Marilyn Monroe said, "Give a girl the right pair of shoes, and she can conquer the world." We hope you enjoy our top selections; let us know which pair, or pairs caught your eye in the comments!
Take it from Christian Louboutin, "I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time."
Mondays are better with rings and something blue. The details are the best parts to pick out with your future spouse, and make the day all your own!
We can not believe it has been one month since Jessie and John Cameron's wedding! Jessie and John Cameron were one of those couples you could just tell they were meant to be together. They were inseparable, and when they looked at each other you knew they were in love. They were married at Windwood on a gorgeous June day, and it was the perfect day for a wedding. The farm was looking more beautiful than ever thanks to Susan Huff and Beth Jordan who provided the gorgeous floral arrangements. Jessie and J.C. had an intimate ceremony at the school barn and a reception to follow up at the courtyard where guests enjoyed music and dancing for the night. Guests snapped photos all night in the photo booth, and the cake from Joe's Italian was, of course, one of our personal favorites of the night! Happy one month of marriage from Arden Photography! We wish you all the best!
This past week a few of our special couples celebrated anniversaries! We love looking back and reminiscing on all the fun we have had sharing such special milestones with our sweet couples. Happy Anniversary from Arden Photography! We wish you all many more blissful years to come!
There are some weddings that rainy days just can not dampen, and this was one of them! The rain stopped just in time for Hollace and J.R.'s ceremony at the school barn, and it could not have been more perfect. We loved getting to know this couple throughout our time with them! Hollace and J.R.'s beautiful day was full of all the gorgeous details thanks to Hothouse Design Studio! We love a day full of pastels and lanterns, and that is just what Hollace and J.R.'s day was! Thanks to our friends at HotHouse Design Studio, Windwood was looking even more beautiful with all of the beautiful centerpieces and decor! Kathy G. Catering never disappoints, of course, and the guests could not stop raving! Hollace and J.R., thank you for allowing us to be apart of such a special day, we wish you all the best!
We knew Frannie and Josh would be a special couple when Josh said he was from Ireland! They were married at Windwood on a beautiful spring day in March. Their choice not the have a "first look", but instead to exchange notes before the ceremony made the day extra special and intimate. They made the day so easy with their lighthearted humor and laughter. We always look forward to tasting the cake, and Magic Muffins did not disappoint! We loved being apart of their day, and we wish you the best, Frannie and Josh!
It is officially summer, and wedding season is in full swing season at Arden Photography. We all love any excuse to eat delicious food and take some time to relax, and an anniversary is the perfect excuse to do so! Some of our favorite spots in town to celebrate momentous occasions are: Joe's Italian, Perry's, Chuck's , and Bottega. This past week marked a few of our special couples milestones, and we love to share in the celebrations! Happy Anniversary, we wish you all the best from Arden Photography!
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but everyone knows that a great pair of shoes are the next best thing. You know your friendship with someone is a match made in heaven when you discover you wear the same shoe size, and we just made me asking to borrow these from Kaci! These feminine pumps were the perfect addition to her spring wedding, and showcased her personality perfectly. Treat yourself to a fun pair of shoes!
Here at Arden Photography we love celebrating anniversaries with our happy couples! This weekend marked the anniversary of four of our past couples tying the knot, and we could not be more thrilled to wish them all the best. Reminiscing on such a special day full of fun memories is one of our favorite ways to celebrate such a joyous occasion. Congratulations to our wonderful couples, we wish you many more blissful years to come!
This week we're celebrating the anniversary of one of our favorite couples, Meagan and Bly! A year ago this week, a vendor dream team came together and created one of the most magical days in Arden Photography history! It was an incredible ceremony in Culllman, Alabama followed by a glamorous farm reception at Windwood Equestrian. Thanks to the lovely ladies of M. Elizabeth Events, this entire day was perfection from start to finish. An abundance of cascading orchids and timeless florals filled the courtyard while a floating coat was the focal point of the barn area. We can't believe it's been a year already! We were hoping for a one year anniversary soirée to commemorate this day but I guess we're counting down to the 10 year mark so we can do it all over again! Happy Anniversary Meagan and Bly! We wish you many more years of happiness and cheers to one year!
I knew I would love Savannah and Chris from the first moment we met! They were both so quiet and when they did speak, it was so so-spoken. The one thing I did notice was how sweet they both were! From the engagement portraits to the wedding day photos, we could not be more pleased that we were apart of this wedding! Thanks to Kalee Baker events, the entire day went off without a hitch! Savannah and Chris were married at Windwood Equestrian on a gorgeous Summer day. The couple knew they wanted their guests to enjoy the entire Windwood experience so they had a Windwood rider throughout the ceremony. White dresses and white horses are things that little girls dream of and Savannah got both on her wedding day! We are so happy for this amazing couple and we can't wait to see what your future holds. Thank you for allowing Arden Photography to be there from the beginning!
Amanda and Bryan were married on a beautiful day at Windwood Equestrian. We met Amanda last year during the beginning planning stages of her wedding. I remember thinking how gorgeous her eyes were and how I couldn't wait to see her as a bride! The wedding took place at the School Barn where family and friends gathered to watch this adorable couple exchange vows. I remember asking Amanda to describe Bryan to me. She mentioned that he loved the outdoors and that definitely showed with his choice for a groom's cake. The couple welcomed guests into the reception where they wined, dined and partied the night away. I can truly say that Amanda and I will be friends for years to come! We grew extremely close during the planning process and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this couple! Congratulations and thank you for choosing Arden Photography to share this amazing day with you!
Kaci and Jordan are real life versions of Barbie and Ken! They both have that beautiful blonde hair and that perfect smile! Every single photo from this wedding was just as gorgeous as the next. Thanks to the wedding planning of I Do I Do, everything was perfect! The wedding took place in front of the School Barn at Windwood Equestrian. Guests gathered to watch the two lovebirds exchange vows on the anniversary of their grandparents wedding. This was such a touching moment as the two recognized the many many years of marriage between Kaci's grandparents. After the ceremony, the guests wined and dined while the newlyweds made a grand entrance. After a quick wardrobe change, the bride made her debut back on the dance floor with a cute little white halter dress. Kaci and Jordan made their grand exit through a tunnel of cheering fans! Congratulations to this amazing couple! We wish you many years of happiness together!
We absolutely love when we have weddings that are featured on different blogs and publications. This week ,we're excited to announce that Katie and Lacy's Spring wedding is featured on The Knot! Amazing vendors and a wonderful bridal party are always the key factors in having a featured wedding! It really does take a team effort to make sure the day is perfect in every aspect of the word. From florals to photography, all vendors play a huge role in assuring that the entire planning process is a success. There are so many different things to think about when the planning starts but at the end of the day we all provide the best service possible and we hope for moments like this. Congratulations to Katie and Lacy and to every team member that made this wedding a success! Be sure to check the link below to see more from this spectacular day!
