Hazl and Charlie’s wedding day was exactly what they hoped for—intimate, elegant, and full of love. With just over 60 guests, they celebrated in the heart of downtown Birmingham, starting with a heartfelt ceremony at All Saints Episcopal Church, followed by an unforgettable evening in the vault room of the Historic Federal Reserve Building.
They described their style as simple but classy, and that’s exactly how the day felt. Clean lines, soft natural light, personal touches, and a celebration that prioritized meaning over excess. Every choice reflected who they are as a couple—uncomplicated, effortless, and full of joy.
A First Look in the Vault + A Ceremony Full of Heart
Hazl and Charlie began their day getting ready in their parents’ homes before meeting at the Federal Building for their first look—right inside the vault. The light pouring in through tall windows and the quiet anticipation created an unforgettable moment before the celebrations began.
Their ceremony at All Saints, where Charlie grew up attending church, was full of significance. It was the most meaningful choice for them—with its warm wooden-beamed ceiling, the space felt peaceful and true. Hazl walked down the aisle in a gown from @bellasbridal, with hair and makeup by @beautybybelbham that gave her a soft, romantic glow.
The Vault Reception at the Historic Federal Reserve Building
For the reception, Hazl and Charlie wanted something unique—no barns, no warehouses. The Historic Federal Reserve Building checked every box with its massive windows, high ceilings, and beautiful vault space that transformed into an intimate celebration room.
They chose buffet catering by Urban Cookhouse Events, which filled the evening with delicious food and relaxed energy. A beer and wine bar, first dances, and cake by @teliajohnsoncakes added the perfect finishing touches. And of course, @discohristo kept the dance floor humming all night before their joyful bubble exit!
Final Thoughts
Hazl and Charlie—thank you for letting me capture your day. You were calm, connected, and so clearly in love with each other. I loved how you focused on what truly mattered: those quiet romantic moments, the personal touches, and the people who mean the most. You made this wedding entirely your own.
If you’re dreaming of a timeless, personal wedding in downtown Birmingham, this day is proof that small celebrations can make the biggest statements.
