Happy New Year!
Working in the wedding industry, Daniel Taylor Photography has gotten to meet and work with some extraordinary people. And we can’t stress enough how much we appreciate the wonderful work of wedding planners and all they do for our clients. If you’ve just gotten engaged, think seriously about putting one of these fabulous women on your wedding team. It will be a great way to start the new year!
Why do you need a wedding planner or coordinator? Without fail, all these planners can help you assemble a team of professional, reliable wedding pros to fit your personality, your creative style, and your budget. They will create a workable wedding-day schedule that creates time for your top priorities on the your wedding day. Planners can also take the stress out of the day for the bride and groom, creating an absolutely magical experience. S ome of these fabulous ladies can help pull together the details for beautiful photos if photography is one of your top priorities.
All this help lets you focus on the emotion for this once-in-a-lifetime events! Check out some of the best of our wedding planner friends’ work we had the joy of photographing from 2012, and some portraits we took of them, as well. We are honored that so many planners would choose our photographs for their web sites, Facebook and other professional uses!
And yep, you’ll notice our old logo that we used until the later part of 2012 when our terrific team member Rachel Bertone put together our new bubble design, which we’re still grinning about!
Alene Gamel of I Do, I Do planned Alex and Ben’s amazing American Village nuptials. She made the day run so smoothly for the couple and we are always blown away by her work! Elegance, organization, budget advice and logistics like nobody’s business make Alene’s bride’s some of the most relaxed in Birmingham. And if you want to talk experience, she’s one of just a handful of master bridal consultants in the world.
We were thrilled that wedding planner Alene Gamel of I Do, I Do entrusted her 2013 photos with a more casual feel to Daniel Taylor Photography.
We loved this bridal portrait of Alex in the American Village chapel round window. Loved it so much that we created a new Daniel Taylor Photography ad with it. Brides are this serene when they have a great planner, like Alene Gamel of I Do, I Do.

Ginny Au of Bits & Bobs Events helped Danielle and Stephen with their gorgeous Samford Reid Chapel wedding and reception at Veranda on Highland restaurant. She was amazing at styling the day and allowing the couple to incorporate some lovely personal details. She also helped them with their adorable book-themed engagement session, which was featured on the Love and Lavender blog. Ginny is the only planner we’ve worked with who is also an experienced stylist, which she says translates the couple’s most personal details into visual storytelling on their wedding day. We love how that looks in photos! She also created a beautiful styled photo shoot in whites and pale greens for an upcoming feature article.

We worked with our talented and dear friend Meghan Cease of M. Elizabeth Events this year, and as always, were so impressed with her work. Meghan planned Holly and Murray’s amazing destination wedding in Point Clear, Ala., Katie and Rob’s fun soiree at United Highlands Methodist Church and The Club, and Meghan’s brother Alan’s wedding to his beautiful bride Allison at Samford’s Reid Chapel. Meghan’s New York corporate party-planning experience shows in every event, and Meghan is still legendary for her chandelier-laden tailgate parties at Ole Miss. If you want a gorgeous, detail-packed wedding that your guests won’t soon forget, from classic to over-the-top wedding styles, you’ll love Meghan Cease.

Wedding planner Anita Kanellis of AK Brides helped Lindey and Marcus with their beyond gorgeous wedding and reception at Ross Bridge Resort in Birmingham. It was such an amazing, romantic night, y’all! Anita is all about bringing a bride’s vision to life without taking over. And we’ll just tell you, Anita becomes like a favorite aunt in the course of wedding planning, guiding brides and their families through the wedding planning process as a trusted friend. We think Anita is a master of classic romance, tradition and elegance.
