Gorgeous Bridgestreet Gallery and Loft Wedding for Katy and Jake

Katy and Jake married in an adorable chapel of Altadena Woods in Birmingham Alabama on a misty rainy day in September.  If there is one thing I want to say about a rainy wedding day it's that there is nothing to be sad about because of weather concerns.  Rainy wedding days actually make for great pictures and there are moments that will be captured you would not have had if it had not rained.  Incredible moments captured by photography that can only happen on a rainy day!  So fear not sweet bride.... your day will be spectacular and gorgeous regardless of the weather!

Katy and her Bridesmaids along with her Mom dressed at the church in Altadena Woods on this splendid September morning, excited for the events about to happen.....  I always love to thank the outstanding teams that come together for each and every wedding I do, including this one for Katy and Jake.  Among these wonderful professionals is our photographer Stacy Richardson whose images you will enjoy below....  Thank you Stacy!



















Gorgeous florals arrive for the girls and our bride in beautiful Fall colors of yellows, orange and other jewel tones specially designed by our floral designer Mandy Majerik of Hot House Design Studio..







On her way to see her groom for the first time!


























A little rain brightens the flowers in the garden, don't you think?  :-)






A stunning bridal bouquet of jewel tone florals for bride Katy.... created by Hot House Design Studio







A gorgeous line up of bridesmaids having some fun inside the church



Stunning color palate for Katy and Jake's wedding including the girls wearing a jewel pink accented with long necklaces and these colorful bouquets








Our bride's bouquet is wrapped in a personalized monogrammed handkerchief made especially for her





The entire bridal party looking sharp












       And it's time for Dad to walk his daughter down the aisle..... one of my most favorite moments!














And they are now married!!  




Katy had a specific idea of decor and envisioned a very organic and colorful setting for her wedding reception.  Each centerpiece had a different ensemble of props including wood slices, mason jars and a splash of color





Other centerpieces included lanterns with candles and a feather or two incorporated into the colorful bouquet of florals





Hollowed out pieces of log poses as a vessel to hold more colorful displays with mercury glass candle holders




High top tables tied with our accent color of Tiel add another splash of color to the reception space




Gorgeous displays of fruits and cheeses on the buffet table for guests to enjoy by the fabulous Happy Catering Company in Birmingham Alabama




Yummy Bruchetta!





Wonderful dips and breads




Gorgeous spackled buttercream icing wedding cake displayed with organic elements and colorful florals by Diane Olexa's Cakes




Thumb prints of their guests grows the family tree and makes up the guest book






Instead of a Groom's cake, which is tradition in the South, the Groom choose his favorite homemade cookies to share with their guests




One of my favorite images of this cake display is looking through the front window of the venue - Bridgestreet Gallery and Loft




Time to start this party and introduce our bride and groom!!





A first dance for our bride and groom







The bridal party lines up on the dance floor and serves as a wonderful backdrop of family and friends as they watch the first dances





Of course, a dance with Daddy is always a precious moment to cherish





A dance for our host and hostess of the evening, parents of the bride Dr. and Mrs. Fisher!





With the fun party coming to a close, sparklers await the bride and groom and guests say farewell





Congratulations to Katy and Jake!!!!
