Google+ Sponsor Love Post: Cover Ads - Southern Weddings

Southern Weddings

The November issue of Southern Weddings has officially been on shelves across the country for the past week!  For those of you who already have flipped through the mag, you’re probably as in love with the real weddings, the special editorial features and, of course, the bombshell cover courtesy of photography superstar, Jeremy Cowart, as we are. 

Of course, this issue would not have been possible without the support of our advertisers.  At Southern Weddings, we really believe the advertisers (and ads!) we select are an integral part of our editorial features.  Selecting and finalizing an ad for print is more than just squeezing them into whatever open spaces may be left over after all the text is placed; rather, when Emily, Lara and I sit down to plan our editorial line-up, we treat the ads like any other feature.  Ads are not only strategically placed next to or near appropriate features, but if Lara doesn’t like the aesthetics of a given ad, she has no qualms about editing it until it is as beautiful as the surrounding pieces.  (Take a minute to flip through our ads in this last issue and you’ll see what I mean!)  While our sponsors have not paid for this post, we wanted to give them a shout-out, say thanks and introduce their work to you, starting with our cover ads.

J. Malahy Photography

Exposed to photography from an early age, Josh Malahy has always been fascinated with the process of taking pictures.  From anticipating that perfect moment and envisioning a composition to capturing it on film and then waiting to see the final image, Josh loves everything about film photography – and that passion is reflected in every wedding he shoots!  Based in Memphis and Atlanta, J. Malahy Photography is a bride-favorite throughout the southeast.  Committed to only shooting weddings so as to provide brides with a unique and personalized experience, Josh wows with simple, clean compositions and classic, timeless images that quickly become family treasures.  Catch a glimpse of Josh’s work here and be sure to follow his blog!

Asian Bees Photography

After seeing her bright, modish ad on our inside back cover, it’s no surprise that Annabella Brandon’s website is riddled with rave reviews from happy clients praising her fresh approach, relaxed and creative style, and knack for capturing “real life” from behind a lens.  Cleverly named after a childhood mispronunciation of the letters A’s and B’s, the Memphis-based Asian Bees Photography specializes in modern wedding photography in Nashville and around the country.  Learn more about the husband and wife team at Asian Bees Photography here and follow their blog here!
