Black Tie Wedding at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama – Mary Michael + William

Leave a Comment

There’s really nothing quite as magical as a Southern wedding, is there? Mary Michael and William’s wedding day was full of special moments and intimate details that created a magic that would rival any fairytale.

Mary Michael and William chose traditional, Southern details to compliment their venues and style. Mary Michael was stunning in her gorgeous bridal gown with lace overlay and satin button details. Her elegant gown was purchased from one of the most popular and chic bridal shops in Mountainbrook- Ivory and White Boutique.  Blush and gold hues adorned the bridal party and show-stopping florals – white ranunculus, hydrangeas, and roses, pink roses and peonies, and sprigs of eucalyptus. These dreamy florals were arranged by none other than the ever talented Wildflowers, Fairhope.

The couple hosted their wedding ceremony at the stunning St. Francis at the Point in Fairhope, Alabama.  St. Francis at the Point has become a consistently popular location for Southern Alabama brides and it’s so easy to see why.  The classic nature of the ceremony spot, paired with its reverence is the perfect ceremony location for Christian brides.   

The newlyweds continued their celebration at The Grand Hotel –  a beautiful venue located on Mobile Bay. Adorned with gorgeous landscaping and lush greenery, the venue also boasts an iconic and engaging history making it a perfect location for any Alabama wedding.  Guests enjoyed a magnificent reception filled with the yummiest food, the most incredible reception band, and fun activities like an interactive photo booth.  

Mary Michael and Williams wedding day was so tastefully planned by Jenna Laine and her crew.  It was easily one of the most magnificent weddings of the summer!

I absolutely LOVE gardening. 🌿🌸🌻🪴🌷 I absolutely LOVE gardening. 🌿🌸🌻🪴🌷

It’s hard, intentional work that produces beautiful bounty. Last year, we were renting a little cottage home and had to do all of our gardening in planters & containers. I was delightfully surprised at just how many herbs & flowers flourished in our little garden.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, we have more space & have built raised garden beds for our gardens this year. Our front porch is littered with planted pots of herbs, petunias, snapdragons & more.  The back gardens will hold dahlias, cut flowers, and so many new things Ive never grown.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blooms are beginning & it is bringing me SO much joy !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite thing to grow ?? I’m super stoked for my strawberry punch superbells and the 16 different dahlia varieties we are planting !

A few weeks ago, we added a sweet foster baby to o A few weeks ago, we added a sweet foster baby to our family !!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Dave & I decided we wanted to foster, we never anticipated how sweet it would be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were trained to prepare for the worst, to be a safe place for any child and to be ready for a road of uncertainty. Court cases, broken hearts, bad behaviors, learning, growing, grace, compassion … 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, instant connection ? Judah’s indescribable joy ? A burdened, prayerful heart for this baby’s birth mom?  We didn’t expect it 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have a wild & wonderful journey on our hands. Being 6 months pregnant, with a newborn & a 2 year old, I couldn’t be more grateful (and #tired 😉).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will you join us in praying for this sweet little babe ? We are so grateful for our community & how you have encircled us in love so much already 🤍🤍

After our call, I got lost in a rabbit hole of past wedding galleries. The images made me relive each day all over again ! I realized I need to share more opportunities to see into a wedding day as an Anna Filly Bride. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have the most radiant couples & the most magical career!! I mean just LOOK at Taylor & Samuel !✨

It has been a bit since I said hello & showed my face ! Hi friends !! Here I am 😉

These days you can find me chasing our toddler, with a 6 month old baby bump, living life as a stay at home mom & part time photographer.  I get the freedom of working from home while also nurturing the hearts of my little ones. #BestJobEver
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some other really fun updates you should know:
1. I’m constantly craving ice cream this pregnancy & have fallen in LOVE with a local favorite - the Blue Cow 🐮 🍦 (& yes Dave & I totally went there on our date).
2. I’ve already started my spring/summer garden & will absolutely confess that there will be 15 different Dahlia types growing in my backyard this year so we needed a huge raised bed (!!!). 🌸
3. My frugal loving self found a @riflepaperco rug for baby girl’s nursery for $70 when online it retails for $300 online (I know, right ?!). Buuuuuuuut I can’t decide if I’m absolutely smitten with it yet, or it I just love the amazing deal. Help me decide !!
4. Spring mini sessions are filling up so fast & I am so in awe/grateful. Three spots left for my Roanoke Friends on April 9th !! Snag yours via my link in profile. ⭐️
