The Dream Team

Fun fact: We got married twice so we are pretty much experts! Well, Let us explain- we are COVID newlyweds so we had a wedding with our family and later had another one with our friends! We get how quick a wedding day flies by and we want to help you remember every defining moment - and every tiny detail!

  • Hey y’all! I’m Bradleigh, and yep- you’re right- I am six feet tall, I definitely played every tall girl sport there was, and yes I am taller than Nick by just a hair (shhhh don’t tell him!) I am born and raised in Helena, Alabama and was lucky enough to meet this cute boy in college who somehow convinced me to live with him in Texas for a few years before we bought our house here in Birmingham. On some days of the week I could be your nurse if you have to have your ACL repaired in surgery, but lets hope thats not how we get to hang out with each other! Although, I have watched all 1,000 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy so if you want to gossip about that then I totally got you! I also like to spend all of my money at Hobby Lobby to decorate every inch of our home in farmhouse decor (and fake plants because I have literally killed my cactus plants before), but it’s always 50% off so really its a bargain, am I right ladies?! The most important thing to know about me is that I just adore people, it’s so interesting getting to hear everyone’s story and remember every step it took to get right to the very perfect moment we are in!

 
  • Hey everyone! I’m Nick! Even though Bradleigh may be behind the brains, beauty, and photography side of the business (she made me write this part), I am the videography side of Defining Moments Media! As a kid, I use to run up to friends and family members and shove my Flip Video Camera in their faces and try and make some cool video out of nothing. 15 years later, I still run up and shove a camera in peoples faces, but instead, I can create a loving and captivating wedding film out of it instead!

    When I attended college at The University of Alabama, I met the most jaw-dropping, admirable, and most sensational woman I’ve ever met (Bradleigh also made me write this). The moment when Bradleigh told me Mexican food is her favorite type of food and how she could somehow handle (and laugh!) at my incredibly hilarious “dad jokes”, I knew she was the one.

    All jokes aside, my biggest passion is to see and film couples that have the same love as I do for Bradleigh. There is nothing that makes me happier than meeting all of our couples and witnessing the same feeling and excitement for marriage as we have( or getting a #5 combo at Whataburger) It’s just a pro that I also have a camera and a little bit of editing skills and can make a film that they can cherish for the rest of their lives!

 
  • As you can tell from our photo- We mean BUSINESS. Our normal day consists of keeping a watchful eye over Nick & Bradleigh to ensure they are staying on track with their work but also providing snuggle breaks. We are always sure to bark throughout all their phone calls with Brides and Grooms just so they know who the boss is around here. We respond to all of the inquiries as fast as PAWSible in between our regularly scheduled naps. Dogs are always welcome on wedding days, but just know they will NEVER be as cute as us!

“When we started working with the Heady's it was effortless.”

“Our experience with Bradleigh and Nick Heady was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing! Neither me or my husband are comfortable in front of the camera so finding a photographer and videographer was daunting. Our engagement shoot was fun and they provided all the direction we needed. The Heady's are dog friendly and we had a blast sharing the experience with our pups. I didn't worry about them getting great photos because they were on it... the WHOLE time! I feel so lucky they were such a big part of our day. We have gorgeous photos and videos of us and all our friends and family.”
