Emotional Wedding day in the Heart of Jackson | Fairview Inn Wedding

Lauren and Mason's wedding day was like a dream. The grounds of the beautiful Fairview Inn, the backdrop of the timeless First Baptist Church Chapel, and the multitude of family and friends gathered around made this day one of our favorites.

Lauren was a stunning bride in her strapless, ruffled wedding gown. Mason was blown away when they had their first look of the day, remarking how pretty she was. Though a rainy midst came through the area for most of the day, the snug and cozy rooms throughout the Fairview Inn property still made for incredible shots of the couple. They read heartfelt letters to each other, trying their hardest to keep from laughing-crying. It was so evident just how much Lauren and Mason loved each other.

The ceremony was the moment they had been waiting for. They exchanged vows and rings and lit a unity candle to symbolize their coming together. Finally, Mason and Lauren were husband and wife.

The reception at Fairview Inn was beautifully decorated, thanks to Fresh Cut of Jackson. Everyone was excited to celebrate the newlyweds. Dancing, eating, drinking, and happiness filled the evening. Lauren and Mason left through a tunnel of sparklers and into a convertible, racing away into this sweet couple's new chapter of life.

A Wedding Ten Years in the Making Falls on the Coldest Week of the Year | Country Club of Jackson

Winter weather weddings are one of a kind. Though their day was one of the coldest, the warmth in the hearts of Mae Mae and Kaleb, along with their family and friends, was more than evident.

The weekend began with an intimate rehearsal dinner at the Country Club of Jackson. Emotions and joy filled the room as family and friends laughed, cried, and celebrated this fantastic couple. Mae Mae and Kaleb began dating ten years ago, seven of those years being long-distance. They fought for their relationship, and it had certainly paid off. Their love was unmatched compared to others.

The wedding day began with the girls getting ready in the ladies' locker room at the Country Club of Jackson. They even braved the cold to pop a bottle of champagne in their pajamas. Mae Mae's wedding gown was perfection. It was a strapless ball gown with a sweetheart neckline. She looked incredibly elegant. She had a first look with her bridesmaids and father, whose expressions were jubilant. Finally, it was time for the first look with Kaleb. He also looked handsome in his black tuxedo. Mae Mae and Kaleb's first look was tender and sweet. They were so happy that their time to be married had finally come. They also read heartfelt letters to each other.

Though cold, the ceremony was held outside under the portico toward the croquet court. The large wooden cross beautifully decorated centered the aisle for the family and bridal party to enter. Heaters were scattered about the area, and guests were given blankets to stay warm. However, when the guests saw Mae Mae, the coldness didn't distract them. Their ceremony was Christ-centered, and they even had a moment for the parents to come to pray over them. As they exchanged long-awaited vows and commitments, Kaleb and Mae Mae were finally husband and wife!

The reception did not disappoint. The food tables had sushi, gourmet grilled cheeses, and Mexican-inspired food. The cake had a classic topper on it, which was super cute. As the happy couple was introduced, Kaleb changed into a white jacket tuxedo. The band made everyone join the dance floor and celebrate. Mae Mae and Kaleb left with a sparkler exit as the evening ended and rode away on a decorated golf kart.

Intimate Wedding with Huge Reception Celebration | Jackson, MS

#RunnerToTheAltar

Some weddings are large and immaculate. Some weddings are small and intimate. Some weddings are both. That’s exactly the wedding Kennedy and Matt had after being together for seven years. The time had come, and they savored every moment of it.

The rainy Saturday began at Reunion Golf & Country Club. Though the rain came, it would not steal the desire to have an intimate outside December wedding ceremony. The couple, valuing intimacy, only invited family and close friends to the ceremony. Kennedy got in her gown with the help of her mom and sister. Her gown was a stunning ruffled strapless dress with a large train attached to add elegance and grandeur. Everyone cried when they saw her dressed.

She had a first look with her bridesmaids. She had a first look with her dad and brother. She then had a first look with her groom. Everyone cried. These moments were of pure sentimentality.

The ceremony occurred on the back side of the clubhouse on a brick patio with a round arbor as an altar. Kennedy and Matt recited personal vows and exchanged rings. Only about fifty people were in attendance for the ceremony. They intentionally didn’t want to put on a show regarding something so personal and important. It was such a sweet ceremony. They exited the ceremony with rose petals thrown from guests. Though the ceremony had few people, many more friends enjoyed the reception.

The reception took place at the Old Capitol Inn in downtown Jackson. Many more guests came to celebrate with the couple. Santa even attended! The band had no trouble getting people on the dance floor. The food was delicious, the bars stayed busy, and the celebration didn’t stop. Kennedy and Matthew left the party through a tunnel of sparklers and sat on the back of a Rolls Royce. They had an amazing wedding day.

Kennedy and Matthew were married on December 2, 2023, at "Reunion Golf and Country Club" in Jackson, Mississippi.

Romantic Wedding Day for Beautiful Couple | The Plant Venue - Fondren

Kristen and Austin's wedding day was filled with sweet, sincere, and joyful moments, which we had the pleasure of capturing on film.

Their day began at the stylish Plant Venue in the industrial area of Fondren. The venue provided a sleek and incredible setting for filming the couple. The shadows on the white walls and greenery around the place created a lovely backdrop for the happiness of the day. Kristen looked stunning in her wedding gown, and Austin looked dashing in his black tuxedo. Their first look was breathtaking, and their love for each other was even more beautiful. Kristen also had first looks with her bridesmaids, brother, and brother-in-law. These special moments filled the morning with joy.

The wedding ceremony took place at the charming Fondren Church. The stained glass windows and wooden pews made it the perfect place for Austin and Kristen to make their commitments and vows to each other in the presence of God, family, and friends. The ceremony also included a specific time for the family to pray over them. After the ceremony, the newlyweds left in a vintage car.

Back at The Plant Venue, the delicious food was set out and ready to be devoured. There was even a cute ice cream stand with his and her flavors. The dances were delightful, and the cakes were scrumptious. However, Austin and Kristen took the time to speak with everyone who shared their special day. They eventually danced on the dance floor and left amidst a tunnel of sparklers as everyone wished them the best.

"Always Looking Like a Smoke-Show" 🥰 Stormy McClain Lodge Wedding

We have never had a wedding day with such tumultuous weather as we did on this particular June Saturday. From beautiful sunshine to downpours and lightning, though it may not have been the day Nikki and Brynner hoped for regarding their wedding day, nothing could dampen their incredible and genuine love for each other.

The day began with Brynner and his guys walking into the venue in crazy costumes. Brynner mentioned that he really loves the humourous moments of life, and they did indeed look funny, especially the groom walking in with the quintessential “monkey suit” on. Nikki, however, looked like a regal queen with her hair and makeup ready for the big day. Her gown was so stunning with its intricacies in beading and glamour. Like Brynner constantly says, she looked like a “smoke show.”

Their first look was so sweet and you could tell that their love was sincere. The majority of the afternoon consisted of photos with the bridal party in which the couple “iced” all their party at their first look. There was never a dull moment with this fun crew!

Though the rain and storm changed the location of the ceremony, it was still sentimental and sweet. They had asked one of Brynner’s groomsmen to officiate the wedding. With that, the groomsman forgot to tell the guests to take their seats after Nikki was at the altar. Regardless, it was a joy seeing these two finally tie the knot.

Afterward, the storm was gone and left them some time to walk around the lovely McClain Lodge grounds. The reception was lively and filled with delicious food. The groom's cake, with Brynner being a Marvel fan, was the "Infinity Gauntlet". Together Nikki and Brynner’s day was perfect for this sincere and fun couple.

Classy Spring Rain Wedding at the Country Club of Jackson

Casey and Jordan’s wedding weekend was one of the most beautiful and classy weddings of all time. Even though it rained for the majority of the day, that didn’t stop anyone from enjoying such a lovely couple in such a gorgeous place.

Casey’s wedding gown was incredibly exquisite with its lace and intricate details. It was designed to have a top with sleeves or to be worn strapless. She truly was stunning. Jordan also looked quite handsome in a white coat tuxedo. Again, every aspect of their day was extraordinarily classy.

The ceremony was held at Northminster Baptist Church and it was such an amazing backdrop as they said their “I do’s.” The organ pipes on one side with a simple wooden cross on the other as the natural light coming through the large windows made Casey and Jordan’s wedding ceremonies that will stand out over time.

The reception was held at the timeless Country Club of Jackson. As guests arrived, they were greeted with a table full of champagne classes with white drapes coming down from the ceiling. The bride's cake was a beautiful display with white curtains and walls. As the couple danced their first dances, cold sparklers illuminated the room.

Nothing could have prepared us for the astounding beauty and incredible people that filled Sumner and Erin’s wedding day. The Raymond Venue is gorgeous alone, but on that perfect Spring day when the weather was not too hot and not too cold, it was spectacular. Then you fill this gorgeous place with amazing, happy, and beautiful people, nothing could have topped it. Sumner and Erin were considerate, sincere in their love for each other, and just simply one of a kind.

Erin looked extraordinarily stunning in her off-the-shoulder wedding gown with a flowing train. Her veil was beaded with elegant pearls. She looked classy and graceful all day. Sumner also looked very suave in his black tuxedo. Together, the pair looked radiant.

The ceremony was held in the outside area of the venue. The altar was fabulously decorated with unique and interesting floral arrangements. There were many parts of Sumner and Erin’s day that truly were unique and special. First, as Erin and her father walked down the aisle during the ceremony, they met Erin’s mother halfway and they all three walked the rest of the way to meet Sumner and his parents. It was important to Sumner and Erin to make apparent that they were joining the two families. After saying their vows and exchanging their rings, they were finally Mr. and Mrs. Richardson. As they recessed up the aisle, friends and family threw rose petals to cap off a beautiful ceremony.

Kayla and Brett’s mid-October wedding day was an absolute dream. The beautiful venue of Rosegate with its autumn foliage, crisp breeze, and glimmering lake made the most gorgeous backdrop for their wonderful wedding day. And to top it all of, it was lovely to see Kayla and Brett be themselves through it all. Happy, laughing, comfortable, and loving.

Kayla’s brother had the honor to marry the couple. They even had their families come around them as each one prayed for them. Kayla and Brett’s intentionality surrounding their ceremony was inspiring and encouraging.

Mississippi Wedding in the Capital City | Summer 2021

It seemed that Saturdays in May 2021 were perfectly magical days to get married. Carlee and Tyler were married in downtown Jackson on the last Saturday in May and it was gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky, a cool breeze flowing, and a happy and excited couple filled the day.

Carlee’s dress was classic yet had unique touches that made it one of a kind. Tyler’s words and expression said it all when he turned around and saw her in their first look. They immediately jumped on the trolley and headed to the Governor’s Mansion. The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion was stunning, but this couple outshined it. They danced in the courtyard, walked up and down the beautiful staircase, and beamed with joy as they posed and took photos. They met the rest of the large bridal party outside the Capitol building for more photos. The landscape of the day was extraordinary.

The ceremony and reception were held at The Ice House Venue. The ceremony was packed full of friends and family of the couple. A unique aspect of the wedding was that both parents of Carlee had the honor of walking her down the aisle. Carlee and Tyler’s desire was for their ceremony to not only be a wedding ceremony but also a worship service that would encourage everyone in attendance. They had close family members read scripture. They said their vows and exchanged rings. They had the same benediction read over them as their long family history. As they recessed down the aisle as husband and wife, you could hear the stringed instruments play the theme song of the popular show The Office; such a fun moment of the ceremony!

The reception was such a celebration! The couple had their first dances and cut the cake. The band played exciting songs and then out of the blue, Bully the Mississippi State mascot came walking through! (Hail State!) Everyone sang The Mississippi State Fight Song and cheered for the happy couple! The couple exited their night in an antique car with a sparkler send-off. The crowd got a little excited and lit a number of them at once causing somewhat of an explosion; thankfully no one was hurt! Carlee and Tyler’s wedding day would be difficult to forget!

Stunning Couple Married at Jackson Ice House Venue

Lydia and Samuel’s wedding day was one of the most beautiful wedding days we’ve ever had the pleasure to film. The day was perfect.

Lydia’s wedding gown was amazing with its intricate detailed sleeves. She even had a matching white face mask to match the dress. She also had the most perfect touch of elegance with a diamond hair piece that pulled one side of her hair back so that we could see her gorgeous face and smile all day. Samuel was also very handsome in his classic black tuxedo. Their first look was beautiful as Lydia walked out to meet Samuel who was standing outside the brick building with surrounded by the natural fall elements.

Their ceremony was also so intentional and exceptional. Their officiant had one of the best messages regarding marriage and beginning life together now as one instead of two separate individuals. The Ice House Venue had the perfect ceremony area as well with its light hints of Christmas. The stunning iron and wood circle staircase with the chandelier also made the whole atmosphere seem so elegant.

The receptions was such a celebration. It was hard not to dance and enjoy the evening with Style Entertainment busting out the incredible song selection.

From an Intimate Wedding to a Throwdown Celebration 🎉 | Covid-19 Wedding Plans 😍

There’s truly no better way, in our opinion, to begin a relationship than with a sweet kiss on the hand. That’s what Garrett did to Reagan on the first day that they met. They didn’t know that the sweet kiss on her hand on a hot August day would lead to lifelong love and a beautiful marriage.

Reagan and Garrett were supposed to be married with a reception and all in May of 2020. However, due to the pandemic, they decided to have a small family-only ceremony and postpone the celebration until September.

The ceremony was so peaceful and the perfect way to start a marriage. They were married in front of Reagan’s parent’s newly built home that used to be their barn where they spent many weekends in Reagan’s childhood. Having their marriage start at this place was so meaningful to Reagan and her family. The horses were even out in the field and watched the small crowd gathered around. Again, due to the pandemic and state-wise social distancing order, some of Reagan’s more extended family tailgated on the other side of the horse fence to watch the ceremony. They also live-streamed the ceremony on Facebook so their friends could watch. Everything from the nervous laughter to the sentimental tears was so sweet.

The reception held about FIVE MONTHS LATER began without missing a beat! All of Reagan and Garrett’s friends were there to celebrate them. Even their Mississippi Bulldogs celebrated them in a way by winning the first game of the football season against LSU! The Band U.S entertained the crowd with classic and rock/country songs for hours. Everything about that night was incredible and won't soon be forgotten!

Reagan and Garrett were married on May 9, 2020, and celebrated on September 26, 2020, on Reagan’s family property.

Reagan + Garrett (Teaser)

Reagan and Garrett’s small intimate wedding was such a beautiful example of continuing to celebrate love and marriage amid the chaos and uncertainty that COVID-19 has brought to our world. They didn’t let it stop them from marrying the love of their lives. They were excited, happy, joyful, and content with the way their wedding day happened. They were surrounded by family only, yet had a Facebook live stream so that friends could partake in the ceremony.

Reagan and Garrett’s day is a testament that no matter what circumstances surround you, you can still celebrate and marry the one who matters most in your life. It’s a testimony that reminds us that with love all things prevail and nothing is impossible.

It was the most wonderful time of the year for the classy Christmas wedding of Kristin and Christopher. Downtown Jackson was crisp and calm on the day of the wedding.

Laura + Long

Nothing brings more joy than watching two of some of the kindest and most thoughtful people get married. Laura and Long’s wedding day was such a joy as that.

That morning, Laura and her lovely bridesmaids got ready at the Old Capitol Inn in Downtown Jackson. The aesthetics were top notch from the gorgeous french doors found in their suite to the quaint outdoor garden area with a bridge over a small water feature. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to transform a historic inn to a beautiful space that celebrated the sweet couple.

Long and Laura shared their private first look outside in the courtyard between the sanctuary and chapel of First Baptist Church of Jackson. It was such a joy to capture their raw emotions when Long turned around and saw his gorgeous bride. Laura’s gown was classy and was elegantly designed. Long wore a classic black tux that truly made him look dashing. The two of them together, though, was the most wonderful sight. Their pure and true love just shined so brightly throughout the day.

Their ceremony was held in the beautiful stained glass chapel. The colors of the glass and floral accompaniment were a perfect hue to capture the light and airy aesthetic of their brisk November wedding day. The officiant even did a special blessing over their hands that made the typical traditional ceremony have a hint of uniqueness and remembrance.

The celebration Laura and Long’s special day continued back at the Old Capitol Inn. Food, drinks, and dessert filled the plates of family and friends. They even had a special sushi table to treat their guests. The Emerald Empire Band added to the party making everyone get out on the dance floor.

Riley + Trevor

Most brides would faint at the thought of a six-month engagement, yet for Trevor and Riley, it was the perfect amount of time so that they could finally start their lives together. From the letters they wrote to each other, it is evident that their love is pure and strong. Not even the off and on rain showers could dampen that. Their love was born and rooted throughout the difficulties of the nursing school along with the joyful moments in-between including welcoming a beautiful golden retriever fur-baby named Asher into their lives. Asher was present all day on their special day and had a special time of photos with the new blossoming family.

Riley looked radiant in her beautiful wedding gown. Her two sweet sisters helped her into her gown and her shoes. It was such a touching moment watching the three of them along with their mom putting their finishing touches on with joy and excitement. Trevor also looked so handsome in his navy tuxedo. Together Riley and Trevor truly looked like a match made in heaven.

The wedding festivities were held at the gorgeous Rosegate Venue. The ceremony was held outside beside the gleaming lake among the giant oak trees. Even though there were small showers throughout the day and even during the first look, nothing was going to stop Riley and Trevor from having the most beautiful and meaningful wedding day possible. The reception was an absolute blast being led by the amazing Groove Factor Wedding Band. For hours, Riley and Trevor danced and celebrated with all their family and friends. Even a hilarious (near-catastrophic) garter toss made a highlight of the night.

Riley and Trevor were married on October 26, 2019, at Rosegate Venue outside Florence, Mississippi.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.”

— Lamentations 3:22-27

Rachel + Samuel

Sometimes there is no better description of two people being perfect for one another than simply stating that it seems as if their souls were woven together by the hands of their Divine Father. Samuel and Rachel are a beautiful example of this. Their ease, peacefulness, and natural joy that manifests from them for each other is such a wonder to behold. Their friendship, companionship, and love for each other are undoubtedly and inspiring.

Their wedding day, one that could cause much chaos and stress, was one of laughter, tears of happiness, and calmness. In her gorgeous dress and her handmade long laced veil, Rachel truly shined. Samuel’s face during their first look, said it all. Sweet sincerity embraced them as they embraced each other. Their ceremony was one of reverence toward the Lord and toward the holy covenant that they knew they were making. Rachel’s father walked them through their vows and declared a beautiful benediction over their marriage.

The celebration was filled with sweet details and the excitement of cake, outdoor games, and light dancing. No better grand exit than that of Samuel sweeping Rachel off her feet and carrying her through showers of rose petals and bubbles. They waved goodbye from an old fashioned antique car and off they were into the new chapter of marriage.

Samuel and Rachel were married on June 8, 2019, at First Baptist Church of Jackson in downtown Jackson, Mississippi.

Hayley + Ethan

Picture this: a whimsical, carefree, gorgeous girl wearing a white flowing gown with tiny flowers in her hair walking down an outdoor aisle to a loving, tenderhearted, handsome guy that within a matter of hours would be her husband. A whirl of emotions and expectant anticipation hanging in the air as well as in their hearts. When he turns around, he sees his girl, glowing with a genuine and sincere love for and from their Heavenly Father and for him, her soon-to-be husband. That was Ethan and Hayley on their incredible, unique, spiritual, eclectic, and enchanting wedding day.

The Memorial Day heat was swept away by a classic breeze rustling the tall grass and green trees. The sun high in the light blue sky declared that this day would be perfect. In a tiny cottage at the back of the Bridlewood property, the bridesmaids were finishing their final details only to be dismayed by the beauty of their beloved friend as she stood before them in her flowing white gown crowned with flowers in her hair. She swayed freely and excitedly in her dress and carried her wildflower-inspired bouquet with ease.

Ethan and his gentlemen were dressed in light grey trousers and suspenders with a floral tie as a touch of summer color. Surrounded by prayers, Ethan couldn’t wait to see his bride. That moment was such a sweet one to capture. They reread letters that they had written to each other years earlier in their relationship, being reminded of the yearning, the waiting, and now the irony that it was finally happening. During the ceremony, officiated by Ethan’s father, they read individual vows that they had prepared for one another almost eclipsing the fact that they were marrying each other by their declarations to include, cling to, hold fast to, and earnestly desire God above all others including themselves. Selflessly and securely they became husband and wife in the presence of family, friends, and God Himself.

After the special dances and feasting, the toasts were given by a few people in the bridal party. It was clear that Ethan and Hayley meant a lot to those in their lives. Celebrating and dancing were the final aspects of the day. That Memorial Day would be something absolutely wonderful to remember for Ethan and Hayley.

Ethan and Hayley were married on May 27, 2019, at Bridlewood in Madison, Mississippi.
