The Sweetest Couple is finally Married | Tupelo, MS Wedding

Tanner and Aaron’s love for each other was one of the sweetest things we have ever had the privilege to film. It is sincere, unwavering, and a true inspiration of two hearts for the Lord becoming one. Their wedding was a beautiful representation of who and whose they are.

That morning everyone got ready at Leighwood Place in Saltillo, Mississippi. This was the place where Aaron proposed to Tanner. Tanner’s parents own the venue so it had many aspects of sentimentality to the couple. The girls got ready in the main house. Tanner was a breathtaking bride as she adorned her gown, shoes, and veil. Aaron and his groomsmen got ready in the newly done groom quarters under the deck out back. Aaron was handsome in his classic dark blue suit. Together they shared an incredibly sweet first look which brought tears to Aaron’s eyes. The other first looks included a fun one with her bridesmaids and another sweet first look with her dad. It was such a joy to be able to do all these important things at a place that is so dear to Tanner and Aaron.

The wedding ceremony was held at Harrisburg Baptist Church. The decorations on the altar were outstanding. Hundreds of roses filled the arbor on stage. It was definitely a show-stopper. Aaron and Tanner declared their vows to many family members and friends. The whole large room was filled to the walls with loved ones supporting this wonderful marriage. From the songs to the message, it was one of the sweetest ceremonies we have ever seen.

After the ceremony, the reception was at the Tupelo Cotton Mill in downtown Tupelo. The beautiful cakes looked and were incredibly delicious. The DJ got everyone excited to celebrate the happy new married couple. They even had a cartoonist doing portraits of people as their wedding favor. Aaron and Tanner also sang a song together. As the night ended, Tanner, Aaron, and their parents danced the last song together while everyone else was instructed to go outside to form the exit line. They exited through a wave of pink ribbons and bells and jumped into a pink vintage car. It was such a happy ending to a perfect day.

Tanner and Aaron were married on June 25, 2022, at Harrisburg Baptist Church in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Joyful. That’s the word that perfectly describes Lauren and Konner’s wedding day. Everything could have gone wrong, but the stars in their eyes would have never wavered because they love each other so much. Everything about their day and just them together was nothing short of amazing.

Lauren’s gown was stunning. She even had the sleeves and cuffs added to the dress which made it uniquely hers. Konner also looked sharp in his tux with the boutonnière made with turkey feathers from his past trophies.

After an emotional first look, Lauren and Konner exchanged gifts. Lauren surprised Konner with a rifle he has been wanting for years. He was so giddy after seeing it! Konner surprised Lauren with a canvas that had the lyrics of their favorite song written on it. Both were perfect displays of love for one another.

The church was beautifully decorated and the most amazing backdrop for Lauren and Konner to become husband and wife. Everyone came to witness such a sweet couple take the first step of marriage together. Lauren and Konner are very loved by their friends and family.

The reception took place at Oaks Country Club. The band, the cakes, and the food were all perfect additions to a perfect wedding. Lauren and Konner were sent off with confetti poppers celebrating the newly married couple.

20 Years Later, They are Married | Tupelo, MS Wedding

We walk away from many wedding days encouraged about the state of humanity and love. Ceremonies that are beautiful and meaningful leave us inspired to live more in-tune to Christ as the head of our marriage. Couples that we feel lucky to have met leave us feeling so overwhelmingly encouraged at the end of it all. However, there possibly could be no other couple, ceremony, message, and family that left us feeling full to the brim with awe, joy, and happiness than when we left the wedding day of Erik and Alison.

Their story is unlike any other we have had the privilege to film. Erik himself even admitted that he should have married Alison 20 years ago. But with whatever the reasons were, they finally tied the knot in this crazy year of 2020! Erik is in the Mississippi Army National Guard and has been overseas many times in his service to our country. Erik's sister and Alison were roommates in college. Alison now works in a school in North Mississippi. When they began to officially date about a year ago, Alison was not so sure, but Erik persisted and was able to secure the hand of the love of his life. At the day's end, Erik made a speech and said, “And today starts the rest of my blessed life all because you [Alison] said I will to me. Thank you.”

Alison was surrounded by her sisters and friends as she got ready. Her dress was perfect for her and made her glow with beauty and confidence. Erik looked great in his gray suit. The church they were married in was Erik’s home church, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. It had beautiful stained glass windows and gorgeous banners representing the beautiful aspects of the faith. The message centered around Psalm 118:24 which says, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” It was the perfect message for their day.

The reception that followed was at a new venue called Leighwood Place in Saltillo, Mississippi. It was beautifully decorated and filled with light and airy flowers everywhere. The band made everyone get on the dance floor and it seemed like everyone had the time of their lives! It was easy for everyone to celebrate with Alison and Erik.

Erik and Alison were married on July 25, 2020, at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Both are people of intentionality and sincerity. Both are outgoing and take life by the reigns and live it well.

Camie + Will (Teaser)

We don't usually upload teasers to the website, but with the rest of this wedding celebration being postponed, we decided this celebration of marriage needed to be online!! When we say that this wedding was like no other... we mean it. As COVID-19 was rocking the US mid-March and quarantine measures were becoming absolutely necessary, Camie and Will didn’t know if their dream wedding would ever happen on March 21st. With the help of family and an amazing vendor team, they had a day that suited them perfectly. #nationssigningday It may have taken a change of city, cutting back on most attendees, and modifying the style, but at the end of the day, they were married.

This virus is disrupting the entire world and suspending the wedding industry, but trust us when we say weddings can still take place. It may be a small gathering at a vacant house or a surprise elopement in the woods of MS, but your marriage is still possible. We’re all navigating this together so let’s make it happen.

Having an amazing photographer and videographer is a must now! We know plenty of amazing photographers and if we are already booked for a date, we can refer you to several other videographers in Mississippi who are talented as well! Having your wedding day on film is one of the highest priorities now!

Stay safe, heed the warnings, but get creative, and let’s keep these ceremonies happening!

Megan + Austin

From past feelings of indifference to present feelings of excitement and love, the love story of Austin and Megan is truly unique. Growing up in the same town, Austin and Megan didn’t like each other. Seriously! This couldn't have been made more clear at their rehearsal dinner. Yet those feelings dissipated as they became cordial and even became friends in college. Then when Megan moved to Oxford without knowing anyone in the new town, Austin made it a point to drive from Tupelo to see her often. Throughout it all, a genuine love for each other developed. Megan said that when they kissed for the first time, she knew that he would be the one. And she was right.

Glitz and glamour. Class and style. These words describe their wedding day perfectly. Megan looked like a New York bombshell in her gorgeous wedding dress. No frills, no tulle, no Cinderella cupcake dress. Her gown from Willow Bride was a timeless straight line white dress with a little bling on the belt around her waist. Her long gorgeous veil only added to her sophisticated style. Austin also looked dashing in his white coat tuxedo from MLM. The two of them together looked fantastic!

Their ceremony was held in the heart of Tupelo in front of City Hall in Fairpark! Such a unique place for a wedding ceremony! No one will forget the beauty of it. Then guests walked to the nearby Gum Tree Museum of Art that was decorated incredibly! Flowers and greenery hung from the ceiling with a beautiful Tracy Proctor flower chandelier as the centerpiece. Outside in the alleyway, string lights and The Bonfire Orchestra created the perfect place to celebrate the happy couple. Truly every single moment was filled with cheer and happiness. Megan and Austin were such a joy.

Austin and Megan were married on November 16, 2019, at Fairpark in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Reid + Joseph

There’s nothing like a May wedding- flowers blooming, bees buzzing, that slight cool breeze mixing within the humid Mississippi sky. It all began one day when Joseph texted Reid asking what time her game started in high school. Later she found out that he already knew what time her game started but wanted a reason to talk to her. How sweet is that?

Their wedding day was filled with family and friends, dancing, laughing, and cooling off from the hot sunny weather. From the first look until the final grand exit, anyone with eyes could see their love was nothing but true and sincere. Their playfulness and light-hearted attitudes made the day even more fun. Jumping on Joseph's back after the first look, it was clear to see that Reid was having a wonderful day. The sunset also was perfect and made them actually glow under her flowing veil as they posed for photos.

The ceremony was filled with many more family and friends coming to join in their celebration. The reception was down a long winding gravel road leading the way to a wonderful cabin surrounded by woods and a gorgeous lake. As they rode off into the sunset, fireworks fluttered in the sky becoming the perfect backdrop to the perfect wedding day.

Joseph and Reid were married on May 25, 2019, at Ingomar Baptist Church outside New Albany, Mississippi.

Emily + Steven

Being genuine and truly authentic in this day and age can be a hard mantra to live by. In the hype and sometimes chaos of your wedding day, emotions can run high, small details may seem like major decisions, and time being with friends and family can get put off until the last few minutes of the day.

Emily and Steven, however, made it a point to remind themselves to be completely true to who they are, which meant a private time with each other after the first look, which meant having pictures with Emily’s sweet pup, which meant being with friends and family throughout the day celebrating every second they had, and which meant being flexible and up for anything to make their special day one to reminder fondly.

The forecast said it would be raining all day, but someone “up there” was looking out for them because it only rained about 20 minutes during the afternoon. Emily looked incredible in her lovely wedding gown. Steven’s face said it all when he turned around and saw her in it. Their genuine love and tenderness toward one another allowed for seamless natural moments of affection unaltered by directed poses or prompts. They were truly at ease and completely comfortable with one another.

After the ceremony, the crowd moved across the street to the Tupelo Cotton Mill where everything was intricately decorated with gorgeous flowers and ornaments, with a floral chandelier as the crowning jewel. Everyone ate, drank, danced, laughed, and cheered to celebrate the newly married couple. Steven and Emily were married at First United Methodist Church on May 11, 2019, in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Madison + Dustin

There’s a steadfast kind of love that is discovered for couples who have known each other and have walked through life together for a long time. For Dustin and Madison, they have discovered and beautifully displayed this kind of love and in the month of February of 2019, they decided to take the next step into marriage together.

Madison glowed in her beautiful wedding gown and Dustin looked great in his black tuxedo. As they read letters to one another, normally stoic and quiet Dustin revealed the underlying emotion and passion that he had for Madison and the anticipation of her finally becoming his bride and wife. It truly melted everyone’s hearts to watch their precious daughter, Parker, walk down the aisle right before her mom during the ceremony.

During the reception, both Madison, Dustin, and Parker had their certain cakes celebrating the event. As Madison danced with her dad, Dustin and Parker danced right alongside. The whole day was truly touching and heartwarming. Dustin and Madison were married on February 23, 2019, at The Antler in Tupelo, Mississippi.

“Who knew that a girl from Mississippi had to go all the way to Texas to find a husband. Who knew that out of all the girls in Texas, Steven had to go to Mississippi to find one worthy of his heart.” They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and for Steven and Kelsey, they wouldn’t let a few states stand in the way of their true love for one another.

On their wedding day, Kelsey looked stunning in her intricately crafted wedding gown designed by Willow Bride. Steven’s classic blue tuxedo was crowned with stylish diamond cuff links and buttons. The Historic First United Methodist Church in Tupelo never looked and sounded so beautiful during the ceremony. With gorgeous greenery hanging from the columns, lovely scented flowers draped from several pews, and the choir proceeding down the aisle singing “This is the Day”, everyone there enjoyed all their senses being involved.

Presley & Nolan

Young love is so inspiring. Seeing the twinkle in their eyes, watching their expressions of ease intermingled with excitement, and hearing their genuine laughter and joy make that love so obvious. Presley and Nolan were the sweetest couple, and it was such an honor to be able to capture their love on film.

Presley truly looked like a princess in her wedding gown and veil. Nolan looked stoic and timeless in his black tuxedo. When family and friends walked into the church they were welcomed into a beautifully lit sanctuary covered in white Christmas lights and trees. It was a winter wonderland in the middle of Mississippi. It was almost as breathtaking as Presley as she walked down the aisle to meet her groom.

After the tender and intimate ceremony, everyone traveled to The Red Barn venue where there was a lively celebration of the couple. The whole day was a dream filled with foggy midsts, cloudy skies, and a couple radiant with true love. Nolan and Presley were married on December 15, 2018, at Flat Rock Baptist Church.

Lauren & John Allen

Under the foggy winter sky, as rain trickled down from the clouds and watered the ground, there was an excited couple waiting for the moment they had been dreaming of for six years. John Allen and Lauren have been anticipating their wedding day for years, and on December 1, 2018, that dream came true.

Even though it was a wet, crisp, and hazy day, nothing could dampen their love for one another. As Lauren stepped into her gown, she instantly glowed and radiated pure beauty. John Allen’s tux had a unique color of blue that will most definitely become a classic dignified style. Their letters to one another were filled with their story of coming together, not knowing the future, yet falling in love throughout the different seasons of life that they already walked through together.

After the lovely ceremony, they experienced the incredible sunset unhindered by any rain or mist. It was apparent that John Allen and Lauren were ready to live the rest of their lives as husband and wife. John Allen and Lauren were married on December 1, 2018, at The Antler in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Virginia Rose & Christopher

The wedding of Christopher and Virginia Rose was a breath of fresh air. Instead of focusing on the all the usual wedding normalities like getting ready at a fancy salon or having a grand exit, they truly desired to focus on the people that were surrounding them.

Virginia Rose got ready at her grandmother’s house in Saltillo, Mississippi. The house was adorned with vintage heirloom antiques that chronicled the lives of the children and family who lived there. Virginia Rose’s wedding gown wrapped around her perfectly and matched the timelessness of the setting. Christopher’s suit was a stunning hue of blue extenuated by his red tie and dark skin tone. They had their first look in the backyard of her grandmother’s home under a beautiful oak tree with the audience of their bridal party and family members. You could see it in their eyes when they looked at each other - that they were sincerely and deeply in love with each other.

Afterward, they went to Kingfisher Lodge in Verona, Mississippi where the ceremony was held on the other side of the gleaming lake right at sunset. The celebration of their matrimony was an unforgettable and incredible party that spanned over the grounds of the lodge. Vendors like Romie’s Grocery, the Campertini, The Brunch Box, and the Ghost Town Blues Band took the party to the next level. Instead of having a grand exit, they opted to take a massive group photo of all that were there so that they could remember the people who joined them to celebrate their love. It was a truly amazing day for a truly amazing couple. Christopher and Virginia Rose were married on October 20, 2018, at Kingfisher Lodge outside of Tupelo, Mississippi.

Marley & TeeJay

Off the highway in northeast Mississippi lies a quaint wooden barn settled near a lovely lake where many couples take the vow of marriage before family and friends. TeeJay and Marley’s wedding was a modern-day country fairytale.

Her gorgeous dress crowned with a subtle yet remarkable veil made her glow and radiate with blushing smiles and joyful tears as she saw her bridegroom for the first time that day. TeeJay, tender-hearted and simply in awe of the beauty of his bride, could only embrace her as he beheld her for the first time that day. The sincerity of their love for one another and the sunset behind them only made the wedding ceremony even more meaningful as they began their new life together as one.

In Mississippi, the month of November is the crowning jewel of Autumn weddings. Cloudy, overcast skies, dark emerald vines and greenery, and falling brown and orange leaves naturally decorated Katlin and Jon Jon’s special day. To fit the theme of the day, the Goodlett Manor in downtown Tupelo, built sometime in the 1880’s, was beautifully decorated with vintage furniture, old stained glass window panes, and a beautiful wooden banister and stair case that would make anyone feel as if they had stepped back in time. Katlin’s dress was delicately designed with beads, tulle, and lace. Jon Jon and Katlin were such a delight to film and were incredibly easy-going and laid-back, which made the ceremony especially sweet. After the traditional dances, the party began and didn’t stop until it was time to send off the couple with custom Memphis grizzlies-inspired growl towels that said “Grit, Grind, and Get Married!” Katlin and Jon Jon were married on November 4, 2017.

Every now and then, there is a couple who embody the love of Jesus Christ so much that He exudes throughout everything they do and say. Dustin and Kristen are an example of this kind of couple. Even on their wedding day when our culture says it should be all about you, they walked in true humility and love that refreshed and blessed all who were able to witness it. Their officiant said, "If you spend any time with them at all, you feel comfortable in their presence; they just swell with belonging. And we know that the love that you have for each other is not just worldly or earthly, there's something supernatural, magical, something mystical about it. God is in your relationship because of the way you love each other and the way you love us." Kristen glowed in her beautiful wedding gown, designed with long sleeves of elegant white lace, as she held her bouquet of gorgeous flowers pinned with heirloom broaches. Dustin's pre-wedding letter for Kristen was filled with loving and encouraging promises to always put her first and push her toward her dreams. Everything about their wedding day seemed like a fairy tale, from quaint fall decorations to her arrival in a horse-drawn carriage. Dustin and Kristen were married at Hollow Creek Plantation in Ecru, Mississippi on October 14, 2017.
