Some weddings don’t need a guest list a mile long or a packed dance floor to feel completely magical. This April wedding at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens was the perfect reminder that the most meaningful moments can also be the most intimate ones.

It was just the bride and groom, each of their sweet moms, and the softest spring breeze. The couple met a local officiant under the blooming trees and exchanges their vows in the most peaceful, heartfelt ceremony. No fuss. No stress. Just love.

The bride wore a simple short white dress that couldn’t have been more perfect for a spring elopement, paired with the sweet little veil that added just the right touch of classic charm. The groom looked sharp in a blue suit, and the way he looked at her- pure magic!

After the ceremony we wandered the gardens for some portraits, taking in all the color and calm that spring brings to the Botanical Gardens. Then, they headed off for a celebratory lunch.
