Ashlee and John Mark: The MV.

There is a strong bond between every father and his daughter but Ashlee and her dad, Steve, are especially close, so it made sense to let the stories of a father giving away his daughter and the unity of a bride and groom converge on each other. I also thought it was neat that Ashlee was so taken with her shoes, that she was willing to plan her wedding around them, so we gave her footwear some love in this piece, too. Thank you, Ashlee and John Mark, for sharing your day with us!

NOTABLES
Scott Burton from Scott Burton Photography was his usual amazing self and Ashley from The Twisted Twig(662.236.9411)did a fantastic job with the floral design. The ceremony and reception were both held at Oak Hill Stables, and if you're a follower of the blog, you know how highly I think of this place.

This was our third wedding in Vicksburg and the third wedding with this family (we filmed Jennifer's cousins, Cari and Cori, as well). I never get tired of partying with these folks and can't wait for our next trip down there! Thanks so much, Jennifer and Clint, for sharing your day with us and thanks for the stories!

NOTABLES
We were privileged to shoot alongside the insanely talented Robby Followell from Followell Fotography. You MUST check out his pics from this wedding HERE.
Tammy Allement from Magnolia Event Planning kept the day running on time and everyone in high spirits. Thanks for taking care of us, Tammy!
Storycook Favorites catered the bridal brunch and reception as well as hosted both events at the B B Club in downtown Vicksburg (EXCELLENT venue).

Childhood sweethearts. That's what Lindsey and Eli are and that was the main topic of discussion when Lindsey and I were going over the details of her day. I think the people that know us from childhood are the people that truly know us, so it's always fascinating to me when we come across a couple with that kind of history. Thanks so much, Lindsey and Eli, for sharing your day with us and for giving us a chance to visit Kosciusko for the first time! Before viewing, be sure to check out the short teaser to their film HERE!

NOTABLES
Anyone following the blog has heard me sing the praises of Scott from Scott Burton Photography, and although he brought his usual awesomeness to this wedding, I'm happy to talk about his lovely wife, Emily. Not only did she refer us to Lindsey and Eli, but she has a fantastic home decor and fine gifts shop in Oxford called Miss Punkin's. Be sure to check them both out!

It doesn't mean much when a namby pamby like myself breaks down in tears over anything, but Jamie is a cowboy (no really, he actually IS a cowboy). So when I see a tough guy like him brought to tears at the sight of the woman he loves, it really is something to behold. Thanks so much, Allison and Jamie, for sharing your day and being great sports! Before viewing, be sure to check out the preview to their Narrative Short HERE.

So much energy and vibrancy at this wedding, but I have to say my favorite moments are the calm ones within the whirlwind. The look on John's face as he's presented with his wedding gift from Tori, and the tears in Tori's eyes during their vows. Thanks so much for sharing your day with us, Tori and John. It was well worth the Mississippi June heat we all endured ;-)!

NOTABLES
This is the second time we've had the opportunity to shoot alongside Stephanie and JC from Stephanie Rhea Photography and we're always inspired by their images! Please check them out when you get the chance.
Andi and her staff from Castle Hill Resort really outdid themselves. Not only is it a fantastic venue for a wedding, but their professionalism and attention to detail really make it easy for folks like us!

I'm so thankful that Brook and Christopher invited us over to share their big day in Clarksdale, MS.

Nichole Love and her team from Love Designs did an amazing job coordinating the event and floral design. Definitely check them out when you get the chance!

We had the pleasure of shooting alongside Marianne and her husband Dudley from Marianne Todd Photography. Not only is she a talented photographer, but she is the editor of Mississippi Weddings Magazine

A quick excerpt from a conversation with my wife a few weeks back-

Lisa: Was that the mother of the bride you were on the phone with?
Me: Yeah.
Lisa: Wow. You were on there for a loooong time!
Me: Yes we were.
Lisa: You two must have really hit it off!
Me: Yes...yes we did.

Put simply, I was smitten with Ms. Pam (MOB) the moment I spoke to her and couldn't wait to meet the friends and families she had surrounded herself with. They didn't disappoint :-)! Ali and Rich, thanks so much for sharing your day with us! It was a joy and honor that we'll carry for a long time to come.

Technology never ceases to amaze. Ali's sister, Ashlie, had a baby just days before the ceremony and was unable to attend in person, but thanks to a laptop, wi-fi, and skype she was able to see and hear everything from the ceremony to the reception in the comfort of her own home.

NOTABLES
The rehearsal dinner was held at the Oxford Conference Center and I was so impressed at how warm and helpful the staff was (ask for Hayden or Micah). Butch and his crew from Taylor Grocery Catering made sure everyone was fed in fine style (I've been known to eat my body weight in his fried catfish). I've been following the work of Danny Klimetz from Captured Photography for a while now and have been wanting to shoot with him for the longest time. If you haven't had the pleasure, run, don't walk to his blog right now! Jefferson Talbot from Talbot Entertainment kept everyone dancing and in high spirits at the reception. He's based in Arkansas but obviously travels :).

A quote from Connie Shelton (one of the officiants) during the ceremony, "It started as friendship. Mitchell and Matthew enjoyed laughing together. Gathering with groups of friends and basking in each others presence. It is there in the midst of friendship that love found you. Love surprised you." I think that says it all. Thanks, guys. We loved every moment of this amazing event. Be sure to check out the preview to Mitchell and Matthew's film HERE.

One of the perks of what we do is all the different and interesting people we get to meet. In the case of Kayla and Kevin's family and friends, I'd describe them as flat out good-natured people. From the moment we got to Columbus, everyone was so warm and welcoming. Like a great cup of coffee first thing in the morning only, you know, human :-). Thanks so much Kayla and Kevin for sharing your day with us! Be sure to check out the preview to their film HERE.

Horses and "The Look". Those were the two requests Allison had for us on the documentation of her wedding day. The couple first met on a horse ranch in South Dakota, so getting married at a horse ranch was a no-brainer. They also wouldn't be seeing each other before the ceremony, so it was very important to Allison that we capture Jamie's first sight. I don't think I've ever seen a more earnest expression of love on a groom's face as Jamie looked at Allison. Thanks so much, Allison and Jamie, for sharing your day with us.

NOTABLES
I really can't say enough about the fantastic job Claire Kiamie and her team from One Fine Day did. Planning an outdoor wedding is always tricky because of the weather, but Claire handled everything that was thrown at her, and in a manner that allowed EVERYONE (including the vendors) to enjoy the day! We finally got the chance to shoot alongside our good friends Renee and Will Reedy from Renee Reedy Photography & Video. While Renee is an uber-talented photographer, Will is a fellow videophile, so he and I are always geeking out to tech stuff when we're around each other. Renee was even kind enough to loan him out to help me pull off a couple of shots :-). Be sure to check out Renee's blog to see a sampling of the amazing stills these two pulled! Ashley from THE TWISTED TWIG (662.236.9411) masterfully handled the floral design and Allison Becksfort from PAVO SALON (901.818.0773) took care of the hairstyling. The ceremony and reception were both held at Oak Hill Stables, which is fast becoming one of my favorite places to shoot.

Ms. Sally from Sally Shy Event Design did a phenomenal job of capturing what Brook termed as "Vintage Romance". Also, many, many thanks to Ms. Sally for getting us together with Brook and Christopher.

We got to shoot alongside Scott Burton from Scott Burton Photography. I've run out of adjectives to describe his work, so I included a couple of shots of the bride and groom as they first see their photos within the trailer :-). David and his crew from Oxford Floral did an incredible job with the floral design. I'll be able to showcase more of his work in the completed film.

I typically only want our wedding trailers to be about 2 minutes in length, but this was a special occasion (or even more special I guess I should say). Jamie and Craig were having a second reception for their friends in Arizona and wanted something a little more substantial to show them. Enter the EXTENDED preview. Thanks for sharing your day, guys. We had the best time!

We got the chance to once again shoot alongside the always awesome Scott Burton from Scott Burton Photography and we got to meet Ashley Jordan Daniels from The Twisted Twig (662.236.9411) who did a fantastic job with the floral design.

One of the highlights of our initial meeting, was Caitlin's detailed spreadsheet that meticulously laid out every function during the weekend (being an event planner herself, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised). My wife later told me I should make every bride we shoot fill one of these out :-)! Thanks so much, Caitlin and Steven, for sharing your day with us.
