In the “stuff I never blogged about” category… here’s an event I covered in the fall that, honestly, I’ve been dying to tell you about here on the blog. I was contacted by Kate over at Soiree Catering & Events about shooting the 10 year vow renewal for Leighanne and Brian Littrell at their home outside of Atlanta — and, as you know, with Brian being one of the Backstreet Boys this was a pretty important event for them.
Leighanne and Brian’s vow renewal came just weeks before they announced the NKOTBSB Tour, so they were throwing a lot of hints at the Entertainment Tonight crew that was also covering the event for national television. In fact, I was excited to see the back of my head gracing big screens in living rooms across the nation!
They had placed their original wedding attire on display overlooking the back of the house. That’s a stunning Vera Wang dress from the earlier days of Vera’s success.
One thing I learned in our meeting in the days leading up to the event — Leighanne and Brian are the biggest hams. They love to make each other laugh and have a great time.
These are Leighanne’s flowers from her wedding day and a few more getting ready details…
You won’t often see this side of Brian!
This was just a fun snap of the E.T. crew at work (and yes, that is Steve Moore with the Moore Agency).
Their son, Baylee, was happy to entertain everyone. You don’t see pictures of it here, but he even grabbed a Sony HD camera and was documenting the crew documenting him. Already an entertainer…
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do…

Look at all the fabulousness!
As people gathered, synchronized swimmers entertained the guests.
From here on out, it’s all about Leighanne and Brian!
Robert Long Flora Design provided florals for the event and Tents Unlimited/Event Rentals Unlimited provided the tent, outdoor air conditioning & equipment. As an aside, even though the Littrell’s have a gorgeous property, having the fully air conditioned tent as an event space was truly a God-send when we had a torrential downpour right after the ceremony. The event went off without a hitch thanks to all the hard work of these folks.
Look at this amazing cake from Classic Cheesecakes and Cakes… and Baylee doing his best Michael Jackson!
The Littrell’s with Howie and his wife, who both had a blast at the reception!
Brian surprised Leighanne with a song he wrote for their first 10 years of married life.
And this, friends, is how you cap off a party!
