SOMEONE... and I can't remember who... texted me and said "So I guess our wedding wasn't blog worthy, huh?" That's a direct quote. So it got me to thinking... aren't ALL weddings blog worthy? For me, yes. And I used to really keep up and blog about every wedding. But I got to thinking... "what ONE wedding last fall really stood out?" And then - inspiration hit me! It was the wedding of my favorite photographer and great pal Ann Wade Parrish! Yes! The SAME
Ann Wade Parrish I get to hear about when I meet new photographers (typical comment:
"So your the videographer who's buddies with that Ann Wade Parrish, huh?"). YES - THAT Ann Wade Parrish. Hey - if everyone in the wedding "business" was like Ann Wade, we'd all be much happier campers. I digress...
Five years ago, I met Ann Wade while shooting a wedding in Enterprise, Alabama. After that wedding, we worked (what seemed like) all the time. She would refer tons of her clients to me. We WORKED so well together. ANYWAY - I told her a long time ago that whenever she got married, I'd shoot the wedding for her.
She met the love of her life Briggs a few years back. (OK - she met Briggs on a blind date set up by their respective grandmothers who live right next to each other. I can't make this stuff up.) On October 27, 2012, the wedding was held near Santa Rosa Beach, Florida (
Ann Wade's telling of the wedding is MUCH better than mine...). Ann Wade
was the perfect bride. Seriously. Calm, enjoying every moment. I had a BLAST. I got to meet her WONDERFUL parents that I had heard so much about over the years. I got to meet Briggs' wonderful family. And the wedding party... it's like I had known all of them my entire life. Especially Briggs' buddies from Kentucky. We had some serious fun. Great rehearsal dinner hosted by Briggs' parents, super reception after the ceremony.
So there it is... my blog about Ann Wade Parrish's excellent wedding! As I told them - I wish them all of God's richest blessings.
