We absolutely loved this super fun joyful Birmingham Backyard Wedding right in the middle of the crazy of Covid-19! Here’s a little about their story. When Ashley and Jeph were planning their wedding day, they imagined a beautiful day in March at a modern downtown Birmingham church with a big reception at the McWane Science Center including a photo booth and lots of friends/family dancing. As that day drew closer, the COVID-19 pandemic grew and more and more regulations were being enforced in the city of Birmingham. So, Ashley and Jeph had a decision to make, postpone their wedding or make some changes and hold their original date. Thankfully, they chose to hold their date and change their wedding to a beautiful backyard wedding right outside of Birmingham! Their amazing planner, Darby, from Seamless Weddings and Events and all the other vendors worked closely to make everything perfect! And you guys, it really was perfect! Their joy was palpable and all their close family and friends gathered together to celebrate Ashley and Jeph. I cannot wait to share these special memories of their perfect day right in Ashley’s brother’s backyard!!
