In the old black and white movies, you see kids riding bikes in these cute little neighborhoods. Well, you could put Lindsey and my sister in one of those scenes. I was so excited when Lindsey first contacted me about wedding photography. Hiring me for a Foley, Alabama wedding is like hiring a local photographer. No matter where I live, Foley will always be home.
The Wedding Day
Lindsey and KB’s hometown wedding day was chic, elegant and fun. Lindsey’s most anticipated moment of the wedding day was walking down the aisle. She had dreams of her love seeing her for the first time. As she waited in a car before the ceremony, KB could hardly stand the wait. After the ceremony, the happy couple planned a fun reception at the Foley Civic Center. Family and friends loved the party fun created by DJ Jerry Byrd. He’s been in the industry a long time and helped me capture all the special reception moments. He even sang a song to Lindsey and KB after the cake cutting.
My sister has some special life long friends. Lindsey it was so neat for me to see you all grown up and marrying the love of her life. A big thank you to you both for sharing such exciting memories with me.
