Amber and Keaton were truly one of the most loved couples we've ever had the privilege to film. From the beginning, it was clear that so many people cherished them and wanted to be part of their special day.
Even though the wedding day began under rainy skies, Amber held onto faith, praying that God would part the clouds for their ceremony—and that's exactly what He did.
The celebration kicked off with a wonderful welcome party at the gorgeous The Oliver Hotel, located just off the Square in Oxford, Mississippi. Guests mingled over cocktails before entering an elegantly decorated ballroom. One of the first sights that greeted them was a champagne wall cleverly reading, "The Dentist Will See You Now," a nod to Keaton's profession. Throughout the evening, beloved friends and family shared heartfelt memories about Amber and Keaton—their loyalty, their character, and how perfectly they fit together. It was a night filled with laughter, tears, and deep affection for this incredible couple.
The wedding morning brought steady rain, but the excitement among the large wedding party never wavered. The groomsmen and family spent the morning at Oxford Golf House, enjoying a relaxed round of virtual golf, while the ladies gathered at Castle Hill to begin hair and makeup.
First looks were a meaningful part of Amber and Keaton's day. Amber shared emotional moments with her bridesmaids, her father, her three brothers, and her beloved grandmother before meeting Keaton for their own private first look. The instant Keaton turned around and saw his bride, all the nerves of the day seemed to melt away. Despite the rain, the joy was contagious.
The ceremony was a beautiful, packed gathering of family and friends. As the officiant began, the clouds parted, and golden sunshine poured through the windows, illuminating Amber and Keaton as they stood at the altar. It was a breathtaking reminder of God's perfect timing and provision. As they tied the three cords, exchanged vows, and shared their first kiss as husband and wife, it was a moment none of us will forget.
The reception that followed was nothing short of spectacular. Tables overflowed with delicious food and drinks, a monogrammed dance floor stood at the center of the room, and lush floral arrangements brought elegance and color to the celebration. Guests enjoyed a live painter capturing the magic of the first dance, a 360° camera for unforgettable memories, and an incredible band that kept the dance floor packed all night long.
Amber and Keaton ended their unforgettable day with a grand sparkler exit, stepping into their new life surrounded by the love of so many.
Amber and Keaton were married on March 29, 2025, at Castle Hill in Oxford, Mississippi — a day full of faith, family, laughter, and joy.
