A little glamour goes a long way. Here at Daniel Taylor Photography, we’re big admirers of a touch of sparkle or a dash of shimmer that makes for a lavish, sophisticated soiree. Some of our favorite inspiration for these shiny affairs comes from top-notch wedding blog, Style Me Pretty, and can translate perfectly to weddings here in Birmingham and around Alabama. The SMP blog features weddings of all kinds, yet the jaw-dropping details of luxurious ceremonies, captured by dozens of wonderful photographers, catch our eye every time. Take a look at some of our recent front-runners:

Santa Barbara Wedding by Megan Sorel Photography
This joyful union from Megan Sorel Photography is bursting with subtle glamour. We loved how the reception boasted clean, elegant décor with pops of stunning color from the flowers and table runner. And how romantic is that getaway car?

Wow. That’s all we can say about this stylish twist on the classic nautical color scheme photographed by brian dorsey studios. This wedding caught our attention with the bride’s beautiful, lavish dress, the awe-inspiring church, and a stunning décor display at the reception. That place card table is a work of art!
