This wedding is one that literally changed the course of my business and how I view myself as an artist. Little does Lacie know, but her vision and her attitude toward her wedding, her groom and his (their!) adorable girls helped me to finally visualize exactly the type of people I am meant to work with, and the kind of love that takes me to a new place as an artist.

I am so honored to see this wedding featured in Mississippi Magazine for their 2012 Wedding Register. I can’t think of a more deserving couple or a more fun wedding to see gracing the pages of this state-renowned publication.

The fabulous style is just the icing on the cake.

If you are going to pull off a fabulous, rustic, country-chic wedding you have to have the perfect venue, a gorgeous groom and fierce modeling abilities. Well, at least that is how Lacie sees it. And the girl delivered.

The time and effort put into this wedding were motivated by much more than a desire for impeccable style. Once you get to know her you realize that Lacie’s love for all things rustic comes from a place of love and nostalgia and is more a representation of how she treats those around her, with attention and care, rather than an effort to show off her mad DIY abilities.

The gorgeous birdcage veil (love!) was handmade by Lacie.

The bridemaids’ dresses were all purchased in one shopping trip (It can be done!). Unique dresses really show off the personality of each of the girls rather than becoming a sea of color. It doesn’t hurt that these girls are all gorgeous.

Lacie and Kendall did a wonderful job of including his sweet daughters in the day. You can tell they love Lacie and are so excited about their new little family.

The God’s knot is a really unique ceremony that is a replacement for the traditional unity candle.

    Lovely Bethany!!! What a gorgeous, personal wedding. And you were totally right…the details didn’t come across as trendy, they actually truly looked like they represented the couple. Great job capturing it all from portraits, to emotions to details. All around beautifully done!!!! :)
