I am always honored that a couple will ask me to be a part of their wedding day.  Some couples I have a consultation meeting with.  I meet some couples when I do their engagement photography, and then there are some couples that I don’t meet until the day of their wedding.  Monica and Brant are one of those couples.  But I felt like I had known them forever.  They invited me in….into their “big day”, into their lives forever.  And I couldn’t be more honored.

Their ceremony was at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Natchez, MS.

Monica was absolutely stunning.

The reception was at Brant’s parents’ home, Routhland.  Ironically, I photographed Ree and Ryan’s wedding reception there three years ago.  Small world!

Monica and the bridesmaids got ready at Routhland, so I met them there to take pictures.

The weather in Natchez was kind of dreary.  Up until the moment Monica walked in the door of the church. As she walked down the aisle to “Here comes the sun,” the sun literally started shining!  Monica walked down the aisle by herself, and as she got half way down the aisle, Brant met her.  I asked if she knew he was going to, and she said yes.  That he told her, “I’m coming to get you.”  Needless to say, there wasn’t a dry eye in the sanctuary!

Brant’s nephew was the ring bearer.  He had just turned two and was very interested in what they were saying!

Monica and Brant did not see each other before the ceremony, so we didn’t get a ton of pictures of just the two of them.  But these are some of my favorite – just the sheer joy on both of their faces that they were finally married!

The reception was beautiful.  Brant’s cake was a turkey!!  I’ve seen a lot of cakes, but I’ve never seen a turkey!

I love this picture of them kissing – especially because you see their reflection in the mirror!

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding.  I pray you enjoy many many years with each other.

Ginger and Kendall got married on April 14 at Oak Hill Stables in Oxford. I love Oak Hill because the ceremony and reception are all in one location. Ashley Daniels of Twisted Twig did the flowers.  She is absolutely incredible!

Ginger and Kendall were up for anything, so we drove down the drive a little to take pictures of just the two of them. It was a beautiful day – not too hot nor too cold. They even walked out in the grass area for a few shots!

After the ceremony, we took a few more pictures as the sunset, before the ceremony officially began. The chandelier in the tent was gorgeous once it was nightfall.

Kendall owns Oxford Adventure, Boot Camp for Women, in Oxford, so if you’re in the Oxford area looking for a great place to work out, contact him!

(I can’t get these to load right, so they are in reverse order, starting with the reception…sorry!).

This blog post is long overdue. Will and I photographed/videoed Saher and Azfar’s wedding last fall in Tupelo. It was a beautiful, traditional Indian ceremony that started on Friday with henna (Saher’s sister and cousin even put henna on my hands!), a Friday night ceremony, and a ceremony/reception on Saturday. We were so honored to be a part of their celebration.

In November (I know, I’m way behind in posting pictures) I photographed Jillian and Bryan’s wedding in Starkville.  They are both avid MS State fans.  Jillian actually works in the Athletic Department, and she played golf there!  She got access to a couple of golf carts and we were able to drive around campus and take pictures.  She was also able to get us on the baseball AND football fields.  I love when bride and grooms are fun and flexible and eager to do different things on their wedding day!  Thanks for allowing me to capture your wedding day!
