Jennifer's Grecian-style gown, Holy Trinity-Holy Cross Greek Cathedral, Birmingham, Ala. Daniel Taylor Photography
Jennifer and James were married Saturday Saturday at the incredible Holy Trinity-Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Cathedral in downtown Birmingham, Ala. It was a beautiful Greek ceremony with plenty of Greek touches, from Jen’s Grecian-style dress to the ceremony to plenty of Greek dancing at the reception. Love from family and friends just filled the sanctuary and spilled over to the wedding reception. And what a fun group! I should have known it was going to be a super-fun wedding to photograph, when, during the formal portraits, little Catherine, Jen’s niece, decided to, uh, dig for gold. James never missed a beat and did a fake “dig for gold” himself. It cracked up the entire group and will probably haunt Catherine to her own wedding day!
Ken Kiester of Norton’s florist did one of his final weddings in Birmingham before moving out of state. Everyone in the Birmingham wedding community is so sorry to see him go. James and Jen’s wedding floral design was stunning in dramatic blues and cool greens. We also met Norton’s new event coordinator, Ross Railey, who has moved to Birmingham from Decatur. Can’t wait to work with him and photograph his floral designs!
The beautiful and yummy wedding cakes were from our friend Jan Moon of Dreamcakes Bakery in Homewood. Catering was by the Gourmet Pantry in Vestavia. Two of my favorites were the Asian chicken and the meatballs!
James and Jennifer are such an adorable couple! We wish them many, many years of happiness together. Can’t wait for our next photo shoot together!
