{Alabama} A Cotton-Infused Barn Wedding by Jennifer Blair Photography

I just adore Jennifer Blair Photography.  I could listen to her describe her brides all day.  “Sweet tea is her favorite thing in the world,” and “she’s a Southern belle from head to toe,” were just a few of the sweet words she spoke about her bride, Cassadi…  “For their day they chose to have an intimate affair full of meaningful touches.  Even their vendors, including me, were close personal friends.  The caterer was the groom’s aunt and uncle, the cake artist was a close friend from church, and so on.  The cross in the center of the ceremony spot was made of beams from a family home.  It was a day surrounded by their favorite things and close friends and family.  All the girls in the dressing room were tearing up as Cassadi slipped into her stunning lace gown.  The baby’s breath in her hair… the cotton in her bouquet was the perfect Southern touch.  One of my favorite moments was before the ceremony as Bradley’s sister and brother-in-law led in a time of worship.  I looked back to see all the groomsmen singing so unabashed.  It’s so moving.  I could go on and on about this day!”  Thank you to Jennifer for making us feel like we were there!
