We have come to love the Mississippi Delta. Every time we go, there is always something new and unique to experience. FaithEllen and Walt’s wedding weekend was no exception. First and foremost, their families and friends were some of the most wonderful and kind people we have ever met. Hands-down, they were the most humble and generous people we have ever had the pleasure to work with on a wedding day. Everything we experienced that weekend was a beautiful display of genuine love for FaithEllen and Walt and their families. FaithEllen and Walt have two sets of parents that are remarkable examples of Christian marriage. They also have siblings who were like best friends. Everything about their families made the weekend even more special.
The night before the wedding, the rehearsal dinner was in the sleepy town of Scott, MS at "5 O’Clock on Deer Creek". It was evident that everyone there had been touched by FaithEllen and Walt’s kindness and joy. Speeches and hilarious stories lasted over an hour. It was truly the perfect way to begin the festivities of the weekend. The next morning as the girls got ready, the boys went to a private hunting lodge right by the beautiful Mississippi River where they shot clay pigeons for hours. Afterward, they ate one of Walt’s favorite meals: fried chicken, mac n cheese, and green beans. (We even got to partake in the meal and literally, it was THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN WE HAVE EVER TASTED.)
FaithEllen and Walt waited until the ceremony to see each other for the first time so that made them have plenty of time to hang out with their bridal party. The girls got ready at FaithEllen and Walt’s future home and the guys came to the venue ready. Their venue was unlike any other that we have ever filmed. It was 1 minute down the road from their future home. It was Walt’s family’s airstrip where they fly crop dusters over the delta farmland. It was such a creative and unique place to say their “I do’s.”
Both FaithEllen and Walt wrote letters to each other. You can hear the tenderness and raw emotion as they read them in the film. Their love for each other was so inspiring to witness. The day was cloudy and cold even though it was October. Yet, with it being cloudy, nothing distracted anyone from the beautiful ceremony. It was such a sweet moment watching FaithEllen’s father walk her down the aisle as they both looked at each other with happiness and tenderness. The officiant spoke blessings over the new couple as the ceremony ended.
With the ceremony being at the airport, the reception was just a few steps away in the air hanger! Food trucks from FaithEllen and Walt’s favorite restaurants were ready to feed the masses: Lost Pizza Co., Doe's Eat Place, and Catfish Cabin. That was such a fabulous idea for catering! The cakes were cut and the fantastic "The Band U.S." was ready to entertain for the rest of the night! They did not disappoint. Watching FaithEllen and Walt dance all night together surrounded by their family and friends was such a highlight of the long day of them being apart. To end the night right, everyone waved goodbye to the happy couple with confetti poppers! It was amazing.
FaithEllen and Walt’s wedding weekend is perhaps our favorite wedding we have ever had the honor to film. From their amazing families and friends, the beauty of the ceremony, and the exciting reception, there will never be another celebration like the Stubb's. FaithEllen and Walt were married on October 24, 2020, in Benoit, Mississippi.
