When my photo partner (Stephanie) and I first heard the details of this wedding, I knew it would be a perfect feature for Hi-Fi Weddings. From the record invites, to the record concert poster (both by everyone’s favorite ‘Ello There), to the hand-picked wedding songs – these are all of the right ingredients to get me excited! Megan and Brent rented a limo for us to take around town and shoot photos at a cozy record store before heading back to the venue. The wedding took place at WorkPlay in Birmingham, Alabama and it was the perfect setting for the intimate and romantic vow exchange between Megan and Brent!

And those hand-picked tunes I mentioned earlier? Well of course I have a list of them!

Processional: Eels – Beginner’s Luck (This was totally my secret theme song for the day)
First Dance: Grandaddy – AM 180
Father-Daughter Dance: Louis Armstrong – What a Wonderful World
Mother-Son Dance: Wedding Music Central – The Man You’ve Become (To quote Brent’s Mom, “If you can’t be sappy sentimental at weddings, when CAN you be?”)

Guest Requested Stuff I Loved
Das Racist – Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (wallpaper remix, requested by my own mother – we put it on a mix for her once and she can’t get enough of it!)
Epoxies (cover) – Final Countdown (It’s the new Freebird, we swear!)
Michael Jackson – Thriller (A large group of us tried to learn the dance for someone else’s wedding- we try to get each other to demonstrate this knowledge every chance we get. No takers, this time. Ha!)
Ivan Mladek – Jozin Z Bazin (You remember Rick-rolling? For a while there was also Czech-rolling… and we were super into it, we’d watch the music video over and over laughing and try to dance like the guy with the jazz hands… I think it was almost the last dance of the night, and everybody who recognized it came out and did their best impression. One of my friends actually speaks the language and she translated the song in real time for us!)
