Auburn AL Backyard Wedding – BJ & Kate

When Kate and I first spoke, I couldn’t have imagined the beautiful setting she and her parents would have planned for her wedding! Their home near Auburn was the perfect location for she and BJ to tie the knot in their October wedding ceremony. auburn al backyard weddingwedding gown hanging outside

Her dress was perfect for her! I love when brides find a dress that fits them *just right*! Out of all the wedding dresses in the world, this was the one for Kate!auburn al floristKate’s aunt Tamera with The Caines did a STUNNING job with the florals!

Heather Baker from Tiger Lily Salon in Auburn also did a wonderful job with Kate’s hair. Kate was so relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the day/afternoon getting ready. I love that her hair and makeup artists came on site – I think that helps the day go smoothly!bride's mother helping her get dressedbridesmaids helping bride get readyKate had a wonderful team of ladies to help her get ready for the big day! It was extra special, because she was able to get ready in her bedroom of her parents’ home.bride getting ready in her bedroomI loved this spot near the window for some beautiful light on this beautiful bride! groom getting ready auburn alBJ got ready nearby at Kate’s grandparents’ house.

Kate and her ladies looked so lovely! The colors she chose complimented each other so well. groom fall weddingKate and BJ chose not to see each other before the ceremony, so we hid Kate away and took a few photos of the guys outside as well! BJ and his guys looked so sharp!groomsmen fall weddingkaty blackburn wedding plannerguestbook table weddingAfter photos were completed and guests began arriving, Jessica and I took that opportunity to get a few photos of the reception area.

The sun was starting to go down on a overcast day, so we were able to get these beautifully lit photos! I love how they turned out.

She remembered him telling her throughout her childhood that the Big Bad Wolf song was her parents’ song. It was a fun, sentimental song that provided lots of smiles and howls!mother son dance weddingBJ and his mother shared a very special dance before the guests went in to enjoy a delicious meal!
