Thank you to Donna, Norman, Dixie and Toby for allowing us to be a part of such a wonderful day!

Kelly and Justin are one my all time favorite wedding couples! They just are so adorable together! Justin is such a sweetie pie:) For those of you who know Justin, you’ll know that my last statement is meant to be funny! Justin’s nickname is MoonPie! I think you can trace it back to something in his childhood;) Oh well, they are nicest two people you’ll ever meet! Justin and Kelly, it was an honor to photograph your wedding!

Although it was so very hot that day, Crystal was just as hot in other ways!  You go girl!

I wasn’t so sure about this last one.  I liked it, but sometimes what I like is very different from the rest of the world!  Crystal told me that she loves it!  Enough said!  End of story!

For those of you who may not know, Rowan Oak is the home of William Faulkner, author of As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, and The Town. I thought it was only fitting the we do our session at Rowan Oak because Richardson had just gotten his law degree. He and Jean are both alumni of Ole Miss in Oxford. We had a blast, even though it was hot as blue blazes! The day was made much sweeter having my sister n law, Linda with me! I think she just added to the fun! She’s great!

Alex was so excited as Cierra came around the corner for their “First Look”!  I never get tired of this part of the day.  There’s just so much anticipation.  The look on Alex’s face is priceless!

I almost got teary just being there.  Just look at these two, I know it was just as they dreamed all of their lives!

I think Alex was the most popular man in West Point that day!

I love the romantic feel these have.

Cierra’s grandad.  And Cierra with her son, Chris.  They both love Cierra very much and it shows.

Alex sang to Cierra as she and her dad walked down the aisle.  He got choked up, but can you blame him!

A very tired little man!

Cierra and Alex had a church full of people who love them.

Two of my personal favs of the day!

Look at the happiness on their faces!

First dance.

Gotta love it!

Jessica and Wade were married on June 12, 2010. Their wedding day was just beautiful, once you got past the heat! Oh, well, we do live in the south! Ruthie, Jessica mom, put her heart and soul into each and every aspect of the wedding. With only 6 months to get ready for the biggest day of Jessica and Wade’s life, there was no time to spare. They had so many beautiful details……from the dance floor with their initial “F” in the middle, to the pergola, that was built especially for the wedding, to the elegance of the flower arrangements, that were everywhere, to the custom outside daybed, filled with pillows that carried the “casual chic” theme, to the candles, candles, and more candles…the list goes on and on! It was a wedding photographers dream!
The ceremony was held in the beautiful First Baptist Church, Houston, MS and the reception was held behind Jessica’s parents’ home, also in Houston. There is no way I can show you all the “wonderfulness” of their day, so I will just let you go to their gallery and take all the time you need to really enjoy their day. But, I will show you a sample of some of my favorites! Have I told you lately that I love being a wedding photographer! Well, I do!!!!

Part of what made this a special day for Jessica is all the little things. The morning of the wedding, Jessica’s mom gave her a special gift to put around her bouquet. It was a handkerchief that had belonged to her great grandmother with a flower from Jessica’s mother’s wedding dress attached to it. I’m sure there was more that a few tears shed that morning.

This is the real Jessica, laughing….

Girl, you are stunning…..work it!

I love this old coke box!

I love this daybed. It says to me, “come on and sit a spell”.

The dance floor….oh my!

River birch trees are my absolute fav. Look at all the candles.

Yummy!

I loved all the sophisticated touches of bringing the inside outside. Here are a few of Jessica and Wade’s engagement photos.

That’s moss on the “F” initial. The simplicity of the flowers was to die for!

This is a look from under the food tent.

To date, this is my favorite wedding cake! There is just something about how uncomplicated, yet beautiful this was. I think alot has to do with the green hydrangeas! I’m just sayin’.

Candles, candles, and more candles……did I lie? Love it!

The children were not forgotten, oh no! There was a special section at the reception just for them!

I never get tired of photography. Especially when it’s on a day like this. Happiness all around! Thanks, Jessica and Wade, I had a blast being your wedding photographer. I wish you a lifetime of happiness with blessings abundant!
