The Crawfords | An Uptown Birmingham Alabama Elopement

Overlooking their hometown of Birmingham, Jen & Stanley exchanged their personal vows during an intimate ceremony with just their parents & siblings in attendance. It was exactly what the bride, my sweet friend, had always dreamed of. ⁣⁣

Who knew that a year later, small intimate weddings would be what most brides would turn to in light of COVID19. And I must confess, I am a big fan! A year ago, Jen chose to get ready at her favorite hotel in the downtown Birmingham area, the Tutwiler, & it made for the best backdrop for their special first look.

Their ceremony was held at Vestavia Temple of Sibyl followed by a reception at the Southern Kitchen & Bar in Uptown. There they were introduced for the first time as husband & wife as their family & friends cheered. What a sweet celebration indeed. Happy First Anniversary to the Crawfords! 🎉
