There’s something special about capturing pre-wedding moments—they reveal the weekend’s heart: the dynamics of family and friends and how they show up for the couple. It’s also the perfect chance to meet everyone and soak in the energy before the big day.

On Friday before the wedding, the Mother of the Bride’s closest friends hosted a courtside brunch for Glenn and her bridesmaids at the Country Club of Birmingham. Think chic court style, custom pickleball paddles, a little friendly competition, and a whole lot of laughter. It was the perfect Southern welcome to an unforgettable weekend.
