Dennis + Madeline - Cedar Hall Wedding
"God led Madeline to a job at Windyke Country Club in Memphis. Not long after being there, she said there was a young man who came in inquiring about a membership ... Enter Dennis..." These two have the sweetest love story! I loved spending this day with them and their awesome families and friends! Do they look like they just stepped out of a magazine or what?!

Joe and Jamie's wedding invitation invited everyone to the "BEST WEDDING EVER" and they didn't disappoint! This day was a rollercoaster of emotions for everyone -- Laughing and crying and laughing because they're crying.
“Finding the person you get to spend your life with means that you always have your best friend by your side. To enjoy the best of life and to meet the challenges it has to offer head on. I have no doubt that you two are meant to be and that you’re the best of friends. As all friends are, you’ll be faced with challenges in your life and you must work together to overcome them... Many people say when you get married you become one. Yes, you become one unified couple, but you are each individual. You fell in love with each other because you liked what was different about each other. You appreciated each other's individual uniqueness, and you march to the beat of each other’s karaoke song. I would encourage you to always rejoice each others unique traits, and in loving each other you should never want to suppress that.”

It was such an honor to film Jena and Michael's wedding day. These two have what their officiant called a "story book romance" and I couldn't agree more! After their 11 YEAR relationship, these high school sweet hearts had the most perfect weddign day surrounded by their closest friends and family. What a special day!

Hillary and Alden had an unseasonably COLD wedding day in April, but there wasn't anything that could wipe the smile off of either of their faces all day! This was such a special day and I am so honored I got to be there to be a part of it! They had an all star vendor line up that included -

There is SO much I could say about this day, and this incredible couple. Bailey and Elick had a BRUNCH wedding at the amazing ACRE Restaurant, where they invited 31 of their closest family and friends. Their intentional approach to thier special day is one that will leave an impact on me forever. When it is so easy to be consumed in all that weddings entail, these two made a great effort to make this day less about them and more about their families and their love for the Lord.

This one is a tear jerker for sure! Watch and let me know what made you cry more- Phillip and Kristen's first look or when Phillip gets emotional seeing Kristen walk down the aisle. I had the honor to film Phillip and Kristen's rehearsal dinner too, and left feeling like I had known then forever thanks to the sweet, emotional toasts from family and friends. These two are a match made in heaven and everyone agreed. I sure had a blast putting this together!

Margaret Ellen Bridal
I had a blast doing this for Margaret Ellen Bridal! Margaret Ellen Bridal is located in the beautiful shopping center 30Avenue in Florida right on 30A! If destination wedding gown shopping isnt a thing yet, it should be! If you're a bride to be and planning a trip down to 30A soon, be sure to schedule an appointment with Maggie to find your dream wedding dress!

Hunter + Jennifer - Spring Creek Ranch
It was such an honor to film the wedding of Hunter and Jennifer! A common comment made over the weekend was "we didn't think this day would come", but it did, and they soaked up every second of it! They were married at Sanctuary On The Square, on the Collierville Square which was decorated BEAUTIFULLY for Christmas, and then had an incredible reception Spring Creek Ranch Weddings! It was such a perfect day!

Stephanie + Chase - Wedding Film
I could not have asked for a better wedding to be the 100th wedding I've had the honor to film! Did I mention they had a PRONTO PUP STAND at their reception?! Stephanie and Chase are two incredible people, but don't take my word for it- watch their wedding film and listen to the wonderful things their friends and family had to say about them at their rehearsal dinner! It was such a special weekend getting to see these two come together surrounded by so much love.

Abbie + Chase - Wedding Film
It was such a treat to travel to Brookhaven, MS for Abbie and Chase's wedding. Brookhaven is the cutest little town, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Inn on Whitworth! Abbie refers to herself as a "fan" of Sami Sue Studios and she's a good one, at that! She's usually the first to like any video I post, and I'm SO glad it's finally her turn. It was such a sweet day for these two! Doesn't Abbie look STUNNING in her dress from KLEINFELD?!

Phillip + Brianne - Wedding Film
This wedding sure has me missing Fall and warmer weather! These two stayed true to their roots - Brianne in her boots and braid, and Phillip in his boots and bolo. It was such a perfect day for an outdoor ceremony -and can we talk about the arbor they were married in front of!? SO pretty! Thanks for chosing me to document this special day, Phillip and Brianne!
Ally + Patrick - Wedding Film
There is SO much I could say about this wedding day, but I'll keep it at this. Ally and Patrick are a beautiful picture of love, grace and forgiveness. Patrick mentions this in his letter to Ally, but they were also an example of it on their wedding day. Thanks to some incredible friends, family, vendors and a seamstress- Ally and Patrick were married on a beautiful fall day surrounded by those they care about dearly!

Sydney + Lanier - Wedding Film / 409 South Main
THIS WEDDING! From the most special rehearsal dinner that started with drinks and appetizers while watching the sunset on the Mississippi River, and ended with some of the most special toasts from the bride and groom's family and friends. To getting to spend the day at the newly renovated 409 South Main working alongside Smash Studios Photography. To Sydney blowing us all away with her beautiful gown from Maggie Louise. To an extra special ceremony where Lanier saw his bride, Sydney, for the first time as she walked down the aisle. To an incredible reception venue with BEAUTIFUL florals and decor by the one and only Deedra Stone Designs. To an amazing meal by Simply Delicious Caterings. THEN the party started with Doctor Zarr's Amazing Funk Monster (who were phenomenal) and the evening wrapped up with KRYSTAL'S cheeseburgers being passed on the dance floor. Honestly, does it get better than that?!

Keeton + Chris - Cotesworth Plantation
You is kind. You is smart. You is important.
I was so excited to film Keeton and Chris's wedding at the Cotesworth Plantation, that was used as Celia Foote's home in the movie The Help! Keeton was STUNNING in a dress she designed herself. Not a detail was left forgotten, even down to the mini chocolate pies (let's just hope they left out the secret ingredient) ;)!
