You guys…. I’m not sure it’s humanly possible to convey how over the moon I am to be sharing this with you today. Mary Beth and David’s handmade lakeside wedding from November is in a whopping 8-page spread (!!!) in this month’s issue of Birmingham magazine. Every January, they publish a special bridal section of the magazine, and this year, Mary Beth and David’s wedding was chosen as the feature and lead story. When I heard the news, I nearly had heart palpitations. Seriously.
What made this even more exciting was finding out that this particular issue also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the magazine and a complete design makeover. Let’s be honest… most of us are pretty skeptical of local publications, because sometimes they’re a little lacking in modern sensibility and style. But this? Wow. An absolutely stunning transformation! I love how they’ve increased their amount of white space (so much less clutter!) and changed up their fonts for more modern, easy-to-read, visually appealing ones. It truly makes me even more proud of my city and the talent that exists here. So to be apart of their brand new issue is a doubly-exciting honor. And man…. there’s just something about seeing your work in print that is so satisfying. What is it about text overlaid on big, bright photos that is just so cool? I mean, I didn’t know that shot of the bouquet could be so fancy until they put a lovely headline on it. :)
It also has to be said that I can’t imagine a more feature-worthy wedding than Mary Beth and David’s. They made an enormous effort to celebrate their pride in their roots and their city, and I’m so glad it’s being shared with so many people. And Mary Beth’s account of the day is a must-read. Dare you not to tear up a little bit. :)
Also, gotta give major props to my girl Kelly of Spindle Photography, who second shot this wedding with me. Several of her beautiful images got included!
I just can’t think of a better way to kick off 2012. Thank you guys for all your love and support, because without you, moments like these wouldn’t be possible!
