Kenzie and Eli's wedding day was nothing short of magical. The December day was perfect, from the weather to the people filling the ballroom to the end. The wedding was held at the stunning The Jefferson in Oxford, Mississippi, which provided a beautiful backdrop for the couple's special day.
Kenzie looked breathtaking on her big day. She got ready with her bridesmaids in the Jefferson girl's lounge, sharing a sweet moment with her mom as she wore her incredible blush pink bridal gown. Her gown had plenty of tulle, making her look like an absolute dream. Eli also looked very handsome in his black suit with a matching black shirt. All the guests were asked to wear black, which added to the elegant wedding atmosphere.
Eli's father officiated the ceremony, and the winter decorations on the mantle made the ceremony space look even more beautiful. Before Kenzie walked out of the door, Eli was asked to turn around, and his face said it all as Kenzie walked down the aisle to her room. They exchanged their vows and commitments to each other in front of all of their family and friends, making for a very tender moment for the couple.
After the ceremony, all the guests were invited for a sit-down formal meal in the ballroom. The Jefferson ballroom had been filled with tables and chairs with black tablecloths and beautiful winter centerpieces, providing a warm and cozy atmosphere for all the guests. Kenzie and Eli had their first dance, played by a talented band, and Eli even sang the song for the Father and Daughter dance. When it was time for the bouquet toss, Kenzie dedicated it to her mom, her best friend and biggest help as they planned the wedding together. Kenzie's sister also made a short speech expressing her excitement and joy for Eli and Kenzie coming together.
As the night ended, the guests bid farewell to the newlyweds under a tunnel of sparklers. Kenzie and Eli left in an antique car, making for a grand exit. The day was one of the most sentimental and intentional wedding days, and capturing it all on film was a pleasure.
Kenzie and Eli's wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and friendship. They were married on December 30, 2023, at The Jefferson in Oxford, Mississippi.
