Family photos were incredibly important to Amelia and Sam, so we made sure to set aside plenty of time to capture these cherished memories. The love and connection between their families were evident in every shot, creating beautiful keepsakes for years to come.

One of the highlights of the day was the unique and adorable ring bearer, Effie – Kaley's beloved cat. Effie was an absolute star, performing her duties with more grace and composure than some human ring bearers I’ve seen over the years, thanks to a few well-timed cat treats.

Their wedding theme focused on simplistic natural beauty, which perfectly reflected in both their decor and the timeless elegance of their photos. From the intimate moments of their first look to the joyous celebrations at the reception, you could see the pure love radiating between them.

Samantha and Khailon chose to celebrate their big day with 30 of their closest friends and family, all of whom traveled from Louisiana. I was immediately struck by how warm and welcoming everyone was. They made me feel like a part of their family, and it was an absolute honor to capture their special moments.

Marissa's dedication and hard work truly shone through every detail of their wedding. Months ago, she mentioned wanting to grow some of her own flowers for the big day. Well, after many months of careful tending, she succeeded beyond expectations. Her stunning floral arrangements adorned every ledge in the chapel, creating a vibrant, natural beauty that took everyone's breath away. I must admit, I did disassemble a few for detail shots – but rest assured, I put them back together perfectly!

Family played a pivotal role in their celebration. With the best man being Landon's brother and the maid of honor being the groom's niece and bride's best friend, it was a beautiful blend of love and kinship. Speaking of the bridal party – what a joy they were! Their camaraderie and infectious spirits added an extra layer of warmth to the festivities.

Despite the humidity that permeated the air, the day unfolded flawlessly, adding a touch of romance to the atmosphere. Jasmine graced the occasion in two stunning dresses, a testament to her impeccable taste. The first looks shared between the bride and groom were profoundly moving; one preceding the ceremony and the other, a private moment captured after family photos, before the reception commenced.
