Party Time! [Stone Bridge Farm]

I love the reception time of the wedding day. It allows the bride & groom and families to relax, dance, and have a good time celebrating the unison of two people. I always end up laughing as I work, and often find I walk around with a smile [ok, so I am one of those people who pretty much is always smiling ... but still] when the party begins. Watching the excitement and good time go to a whole new level just takes me with them [attitudes are contagious ... remember that banner on the wall above the board from fourth grade? totally true. especially when it comes to receptions!]. People laughing loudly, catching up with friends and family who they haven't seent recently, and the bride and groom cutting loose - I love it all. I wanted to share a little more of Lindsay and Jonathans day - so here is a glimpse of their amazing reception at Stone Bridge Farms in Cullman, AL.

Sisters!

Took the girls outside to play with some sparklers .... the new last name is Ardnt! :)

A firework show to send off the bride & groom ..... possibly one of my new favorite things for couples to do!

And of course a beautiful exit across the bridge .... where the Bentley awaits.

Lindsay & Jonathan Sneak Peek

If you are in Alabama and searching for an amazing wedding venue - [and of course you have already checked out a few of the amazing places here in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores] - Then you should check out Stone Bridge Farm in Cullman, AL. Booked six months out, this place knows how to treat a bride and groom. I will say - they are redoing their website - and it's even more gorgeous in person. They have the perfect place for the wedding and reception - indoors or out.

When Lindsay first told me about her venue - I knew I would love it, well, because that's how Lindsay is. She does it right :) ... so I knew it would be a gorgeous affair with lots of laughing and tons of sweet moments with she and Jonathan.

See, Jonathan and Lindsay were best friends in high school - and He knew a good thing when he saw one. As they got older, Jonathan saw an opportunity to take their friendship to the next level - and bam. They are in love! Seriously. They treat each other with incredible love and gentleness, and I was so honored to be there with them for their wedding, and to be their wedding photographer. Thanks guys! - And yes ... lots of MONEY SHOTS!! WOOP WOOP! ;)
