Who:

Kelly + Robert

What:

Wedding

When:

April 19, 2008

Where:

Ocean Springs, MS

We made our first visit to Ocean Springs, Mississippi last month for Kelly + Robert’s wedding. For those of you who don’t know, Ocean Springs is right next to Biloxi (typically associated with gambling). Well, I guess you could say it was our ‘lucky day’ because this wedding was adorable! (careful - the puns could go on & on!)

And because Meg was on a roll when pulling and creating these collages/storyboards/groupings last week - she made yest ANOTHER 100:1 series! But don’t get used to it - she’s cut off for a little while - it’s busy season, you know - I need her focusing on other stuff for the next few weeks- so enjoy the last 100:1 for the next little bit, anyway!

When you pull up to a quaint little church built in 1892 with a 1956 classic Bentley parked out front, you know it’s going to be a good day!

Rob + the boys:

Kelly + the girls:

We do:

We only had time for a few quick newlywed portraits in the chapel…

… before these two had to be rushed off to their backyard reception:

Let the details begin!

Everywhere you looked, lanterns dotted the reception - around the perimeter, lighting pathways, over the cake table, even suspended over the dance floor!

The place cards were arranged on a custom door system that Kelly’s dad built for her! Too cute. Next up…oyster shooters!

The newlyweds made their grand enterance from the second floor overlooking their many fans guests anxiously awaiting their arrival in the courtyard below:

Toasts + dancing:

Thanks to the newlyweds for having us - when Kelly contacted us a full TWO YEARS prior to the big day - we were flattered and a little shocked that someone wanted to have us there so badly that they would retain our services before any of the rest of their big day details had even been hammered out! But we are so glad that y’all did and are really thankful that we were given the opportunity to capture such an awesome time in your lives. Now that the big day has passed, you don’t need to be strangers, okay? We’d love to photograph the next chapter in your lives - and we won’t require a two year notice either! Besides , I’m pretty sure y’all will only get nine months when that time comes! ;)
