Wedding: Cheryl & Bob – Fountainview Mansion – Auburn, Alabama

The last few weeks have been crazy busy with shooting in Atlanta, Montgomery, and Nashville, so now I’m playing catch-up on the blog with a holiday wedding!   Cheryl & Bob’s Auburn wedding got off to a unique start:  he had a little surprise in store for his bride and his daughter Megan.  Megan’s mom and Bob divorced when Megan was very young, and one of the things she and her dad would do together when she was a toddler is ride around in his grey BMW until she fell asleep.  Over the years, the BMW they called “Baby” picked up some wear and tear, so before the wedding, Bob had it restored so they could use it as the getaway car.  When Bob finished getting dressed at The Hotel at Auburn University, we hatched a plan to lure Megan outside.  It took her a minute to realize what she was looking at.

Once the tears were dried, we headed to the beautiful Fountainview Mansion, where wedding planner extraordinaire Julie Bunkley of Invision Events was busy getting everything all aglow in holiday spirit for the evening wedding.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails while Cheryl and Bob went ahead and cut the cake (from Sonshine Cakes) before everyone sat down in the elegant dining room, complete with flowers from Opelika Floral Company and steak and salmon feast from Christine’s.

One of the sweetest moments of the night came when MBS Entertainment played Bob’s parents’ wedding song, “Earth Angel” by The Penguins. Bob’s mom helped his dad get up out of his chair, and he took her for a spin on the dance floor:
