The Sonnet House wedding of Anne-Michelle and James. Daniel Taylor Photography
Anne-Michelle and James are one of those couples that vendors just love. These two adorable BBVA Compass bankers had it all for their Sonnet House wedding and reception: style, elegance, creativity and fun.
Ah, the wedding day. It began with Anne-Michelle’s Monique Lhuillier gown from Ivory & White in Mountain Brook. The wedding and reception were at the gorgeous and versatile Sonnet House, where wedding photography is a dream and the service is incredible. Have both events in one scenic location makes for so many more wedding photographs, and the guests love the convenience.
Cafe Iz handled the catering, with Cajun specialties in honor of Anne-Michelle’s Louisiana roots. The cakes were from our dear friend Jan Moon of Dreamcakes bakery in Homewood. And as always, people couldn’t stop talking about how pretty and delicious the cakes were. The lovely florals were from Flowerbuds in Cahaba Heights. The photo booth was from our friends at Total Entertainment.
A great team of bridesmaids and groomsmen, as well as tons of loving family and friends, helped make the day even more special. Pastor Joshua Canizaro, from Church of the Highlands’ Greystone campus, delivered a heartfelt and hilarious wedding ceremony. We’ve done ceremonies with several Church of the Highlands pastors and they all seem to share the same great combination of reverence, warmth and humor.
Anne-Michelle surprised James by changing into a jaw-dropping going away suit, a modern Kay Unger number that she paired with a hat, leather gloves, pumps and hangbag that were a modern spin on Old Hollywood, perfect for their classic getaway car from Vintage Auto. Owner Ron Marko, one of our favorite vendors, whisked the couple off to Renaissance Ross Bridge Resort in Hoover, where the couple spent their honeymoon night as a gift from Daniel Taylor Photography.
Anne-Michelle and James, we are honored to have captured your special day and we wish you happiness beyond your wildest dreams.
