Nothing brings more joy than watching two of some of the kindest and most thoughtful people get married. Laura and Long’s wedding day was such a joy as that.
That morning, Laura and her lovely bridesmaids got ready at the Old Capitol Inn in Downtown Jackson. The aesthetics were top notch from the gorgeous french doors found in their suite to the quaint outdoor garden area with a bridge over a small water feature. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to transform a historic inn to a beautiful space that celebrated the sweet couple.
Long and Laura shared their private first look outside in the courtyard between the sanctuary and chapel of First Baptist Church of Jackson. It was such a joy to capture their raw emotions when Long turned around and saw his gorgeous bride. Laura’s gown was classy and was elegantly designed. Long wore a classic black tux that truly made him look dashing. The two of them together, though, was the most wonderful sight. Their pure and true love just shined so brightly throughout the day.
Their ceremony was held in the beautiful stained glass chapel. The colors of the glass and floral accompaniment were a perfect hue to capture the light and airy aesthetic of their brisk November wedding day. The officiant even did a special blessing over their hands that made the typical traditional ceremony have a hint of uniqueness and remembrance.
The celebration Laura and Long’s special day continued back at the Old Capitol Inn. Food, drinks, and dessert filled the plates of family and friends. They even had a special sushi table to treat their guests. The Emerald Empire Band added to the party making everyone get out on the dance floor. A sparkler exit was truly the most fitting way to end their perfect day. Laura and Long’s joy was given to all those who celebrated their love with them.
Laura and Long were married on November 2, 2019, at First Baptist Church of Jackson, Mississippi.
