Catherine and JD were married on a gorgeous September day in Huntsville, AL. This day was overflowing with personal touches and intentionality. The morning started at Cat's family home with backyard and front porch first looks. From the bridal gown that was hand stitched by the bride's mother and aunt, to the hand embroidered bouquet ribbons, each detail of this day spoke to the heart of love behind this marriage. With a ceremony at the bride's childhood church leading to the reception at a downtown historic home, this day was thoughtfully designed and timelessly executed. Live music, signature cocktails and a desert table full of family recipes rounded this day out perfectly. The happy couple were sent off to Italy for their honeymoon amidst bubbles and cheers from friends and family.
