There’s something about a mountaintop wedding that makes everything feel bigger the views, the emotions, the moment that first kiss lands. Derek and Emily’s wedding day at Burritt on the Mountain in Huntsville, Alabama delivered all of that and more.
From the very first frame, this day had a warmth and sincerity that was impossible to miss. Emily and her bridesmaids spent the morning getting ready together, laughing in matching pink robes and soaking in every minute before the ceremony. Meanwhile, Derek was doing his best to hold it together and the moment he saw his bride for the first time, it was clear he wasn’t going to make it through the day with dry eyes.
A Ceremony with a View
Burritt on the Mountain is one of those venues that practically films itself. Perched high above Huntsville with sweeping views of the valley below, it’s the kind of backdrop that makes every guest pause and take a breath. But as stunning as the scenery was, nothing compared to what was happening at the altar.
Derek and Emily exchanged traditional vows and rings with the kind of emotion you can’t rehearse. “With all that I have, all that I am, and all that I will ever be” words that landed with weight and meaning as the sun started its descent behind the mountains.
A Sunset First Kiss
If you could script the perfect wedding moment, it would look something like this: golden hour light spilling across the ceremony space, the officiant pronouncing them husband and wife, and a first kiss framed by an Alabama sunset. That’s exactly what happened, and it’s one of those moments we’ll be talking about for a long time.
The celebration continued with a sweet tribute from Emily to her father a bouquet dedication that had the whole room in tears before the newlyweds were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Derek Eubanks II.
