Our spring and summer weddings at Dodson Farm have always been absolutely gorgeous. Green shimmering leaves on majestic old oak trees, the shining lake in the distance, and the rolling hills of tall wavy grass only begin to describe its beauty.
Chris and Blake’s wedding day was yet another stunning day with perfect weather and filled with beauty. Blake was lovely in her off the shoulder wedding gown. The veil and the hair piece were also incredible touches that made her beam as a beautiful bride. The first looks with her bridesmaids and father were full of emotion and tender-hearted moments. The first look with Chris in his sleek black tux was another highlight of the day. Right after they saw each other, you could see the comfort and ease set in on Chris and Blake’s faces. They were finally together ready to take the next step of life as husband and wife. In Chris’ tux, there were two pictures pinned on the inside pocket of passed loved ones. That moment was such a sweet aspect to film. Though they were not there in the physical sense, it was evident they were there in spirit.
The ceremony was also a beautiful highlight of the whole day. The altar had a large cross as the centerpiece with gorgeous floral arrangements at each side. The couple also tied a unity knot together which took place at the side of the outdoor chapel. They also had the surprise of having an artist paint this scene for them to cherish forever.
The reception that followed was the perfect finale of the day. Delicious food, flowing drinks, and U.S. the band, caused the celebration to be an easy task. The cakes were also beautiful centerpieces that perfectly depicted this couple’s classy and personal sides. Nothing but a sparkler send off would have done for this sweet and adorable couple. Everything about their day was genuine and sincere.
Chris and Blake were married on April 30, 2022 at Dodson Farm in Starkville, MS.
