Spring Wedding at St John the Baptist Catholic Church and The Roundhouse // Wedding Photographers in Huntsville, Alabama

What a way to kick off spring wedding season!! Elizabeth and Christian are officially married, the pictures turned out amazing, and this whole day was so. much. fun! We started the day off getting everyone ready at a cute little downtown AirBnB, exchanged vows at St John Catholic Church, created sweet portraits in downtown Huntsville, and celebrated all of the above with an epic dance party at The Roundhouse.

Not only are Elizabeth and Christian absolute models in front of the camera, they’re also sincerely kind, generous, and thoughtful people. Their families both welcomed us so warmly and the bridal party kept us laughing. The details throughout the day were epic, but the people are what really made this day stand out!

Epic Wedding Details

But speaking of details, there were some great ones!! I loved the textured wall in the AirBnB that we used for some of the getting-ready portraits. And every time someone saw Elizabeth in her dress for the first time that morning, I think a jaw dropped! She was stunning! Her pearl necklace and bracelet were restrung from a necklace her dad had given her mom, and it was THE perfect touch.

Elizabeth shared first looks with her dad, brothers, stepdad, and her groom! A lot of super sweet moments early in the day!! I also especially loved their cake server. It has the engraved initials and wedding date of generations before – with theirs added! Amazing heirloom idea!!

We captured some sweet gardenesque moments at the AirBnB after Elizabeth and Christian’s first look, then had some time around the square for classic downtown Huntsville portraits. Then came the sunset glow – swoon! These two make it easy!

The dance floor was hopping!! I loved the energy of a packed dance floor! Another FAVORITE detail was the private last dance! What a precious moment and incredible way to slow down and be present with each other. You have a chance to let it all soak in before partying with all your favorite people. It was the perfect ending to an incredible, heartfelt wedding celebration for these two.
