What a day! Maggie and John’s wedding was nothing short of magical. From the moment I stepped into The Faulkner, I could feel the love radiating between them.
There's something so special about capturing a couple so deeply in love—it makes every shot feel like a privilege.
It was a classic Mississippi day, with the sun blazing down and the humidity reminding us we were in the South, but that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. The entire bridal party was such a joy to work with—so full of energy and laughter. They truly made the day as vibrant as the beautiful florals that adorned both the church and the reception. It’s always a treat to see familiar faces at weddings, and seeing Cara, one of my past brides, was like a little reunion. She was just as stunning and sweet as I remember, and it was wonderful to catch up, even if just for a moment.
The reception at The Faulkner was nothing short of elegant. The venue was transformed into a dream with the most exquisite décor and floral arrangements that added a touch of sophistication to the already stunning space. The color palette was perfect for the day—soft, romantic, and timeless. And let me tell you, the food was out of this world! Every detail was carefully curated, and it showed in every bite.
Working with such amazing vendors really makes the day flow seamlessly. Everyone was at the top of their game, ensuring that Maggie and John had the wedding of their dreams. I’m always so grateful when I get to collaborate with such talented professionals who are as passionate about their work as I am about mine.
As I look through the photos, I can’t help but smile. Capturing these moments—Maggie’s radiant smile, John’s adoring glances, and the pure joy shared among their family and friends—is why I love what I do. It’s more than just taking pictures; it’s preserving memories of a day filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of fun.
