Way back in 2019, Olivia and Andrew didn’t know that they would meet at their hospital orientation as they began new careers in nursing. To everyone else, that day was an ordinary and normal day, but to them, they met their future spouses. It took a while for Olivia to come around, but finally, Andrew won her heart and affection. August 20 of 2022 was their day to finally be husband and wife. 

The night before the wedding, the rehearsal dinner was elegantly decorated with simple floral arrangements in the renovated antique dairy barn of Dodson Farm. Speeches and toasts were given by friends and family. Many sweet tears were shed as people encouraged, advised, and loved Olivia and Andrew as they embarked on a new journey into matrimony. Andrew gave the final toast to his soon-to-be bride as the evening came to a close. It was the perfect way to begin their wedding weekend. 

The next day, though there were clouds in the sky and rain forecasted, the day stayed relatively rain-free. Olivia looked incredibly beautiful in her off-the-shoulder wedding gown. Both her father and Andrew were blown away during their first looks admiring her glow and beauty. Andrew looked sharp in his classic black tuxedo. Together Olivia and Andrew looked wonderful together. It was evident just how much they loved each other throughout the day. 

The ceremony was held at 6 o’clock in the evening in the outdoor Chapel of Dodson Farm. The winds were whipping and the clouds grew darker, but the rain held off. Olivia and Andrew shared personal vows to each other which even made the officiant stop and hug them after they completed reading them. Again, their love and devotion to one another were moving and uplifting. Even after the ceremony, Olivia and Andrew were just so ecstatic to officially be married! 

The reception was the finale of the evening. Delicious food, a groovy band, and beautiful cakes were enjoyed to the maximum. They had a clear tent that contained the band and the dance floor that just set the tone for a lovely, fun, and elegant night. As they left for the night, they were given a farewell exit with ribbons and happiness by their friends and family. It was such a sweet day with one of the sweetest couples. 

Andrew and Olivia were married on August 20, 2022, at Dodson Farm in Starkville, Mississippi.

Curtlyn and Parker’s wedding day was such a fabulous and sweet day. Everyone felt so loved by them that it was easy to celebrate their new chapter of life together. The girls began their day at the salon getting hair and make-up done. We met up with the boys at Parker’s family cabin as they shot skeet. Afterward, we met the girls at a family friend’s home for brunch. The morning was easy-going for both parties as they geared up for the wonderful day ahead. 

After brunch, everyone met at the church to get into their wedding attire. Curtlyn’s dress was the perfect one for her. Sleek, white, with a bow in the back, made her look even more beautiful than she already is naturally. Parker had the opportunity to choose for himself the color of the tuxes that he and his groomsmen wore. He chose a lighter hue of blue that was a perfect summer suit. Parker even wore the kerchief that he wore to their prom. How incredibly sweet and sentimental. 

All the first looks of the day were wonderful. First her first look with her bridesmaids. When they turned around, they either cried or were ecstatic to see it on her. Curtlyn’s first look with Parker also included tears and a quiet moment for them to finally be together on their special day. Her first looks with her dad and grandfather were also so sweet and tender-hearted. It was not difficult to see that Curtlyn has a big heart for the people she loves in her life. 

The ceremony was a beautiful time for them to make their vows and commitment to each other in front of all their family and friends. The floral arrangement in the baptistery behind them was truly spectacular. It was a perfect way to start their new life together as husband and wife. 

The reception was at their grandparents' land which is very sentimental to them. They had a rustic cabin, a new pergola, and freshly cut fields to draw everyone willfully into the summer sun. Glass-bottle Cokes and iced drinks also help everyone ignore the heat. After their first dances, Curtlyn changed into her mother’s reworked wedding dress from the 90s! Everything about the day was filled with sentimentality and love for and from Curtlyn and Parker. 

Parker and Curtlyn were married on June 18, 2022, at First Baptist Church in Mathiston, Mississippi.

It was such a joy to film Emily and Brock on their special day. Usually cool, calm, and collected, Brock was filled with tears and emotions as he recited his vows. Emily was as excited as ever to marry the love of her life and had a blast throughout the day. The love that they shared for one another exuded effortlessly and naturally. These are the kind of days we are thrilled to play a small part.

Before their sweet first look, Brock was tricked by his brother. Thinking it was the real deal, Brock turned around expecting to see his bride but instead saw his brother in a wedding gown and veil! The combination of suspense and hilarity exploded with uncontrollable smiles and laughter. However, when Brock and Emily did have their actual first look, it was such a beautiful moment of tears and relief.

The ceremony occurred in the chapel at Dodson Farm where they had a geometric arbor at the end of the aisle. It was particularly gorgeous with the Fall colored trees in the landscape beyond the glimmering lake. This ceremony had several moments of comedic relief, but our favorite moment was when the officiant dropped the rings! Throughout all the solemn and funny moments, Emily and Brock were married by the end of it all. 

The sweet couple waited outside the chapel for everyone to line up out on the sidewalk so they could leave the ceremony with a bubble exit! It was so enjoyable to capture the unique moment! 

The reception was truly a celebration for the wonderful couple. Dancing and delicious food were present, as well as hot ciders to warm everyone up in the brisk cool evening air. Emily and Brock had a wonderful time enjoying their friends and family as they began their new chapter of life together. 

Emily and Brock were married on November 13, 2021, at Dodson Farm in Starkville, Mississippi.
