marisa & jonah
Marisa & Jonah had the most elegant wedding at the
Townsend Hotel in Birmingham! It was truly a grand occasion that started off the morning with the ladies getting ready in the hotel. I had the honor of doing Marisa's make-up look (to see her make-up trial post
click here!) which was so much fun. : ) Marisa is a huge sweetheart & was a most beautiful bride! the day was the epitomy of perfect, too -- sunny with a great refreshing breeze. Marisa & Jonah decided to see each other beforehand which I love when it happens that way because it allows for plenty of time for photos & fun -- & that we had, that's for sure! from the cocktail hour, to the very sentimental ceremony, to the AMAZING food stations in the Ballroom, to the heartfelt speeches & toasts, to the dancing that continued into the very end of the night (talk about some great dancers out on the dance floor!), right down to the mini ice cream cones that got served near the end of the night -- it was truly a day to remember. : )
Thank you Marisa & Jonah for everything! the two of you & your familes have been absolutely wonderful to get to know better & work with. : ) documenting your most special day meant SO much to both Mike & I... & we will never forget it! you guys are the best! happy blogging!
