Mandy and Cody's Engagement Session

I took images of Mandy and Cody with their dog Sam at Canebrake. Their dog was well behaved

and allowed for several set-ups which included him. Their wedding will be at Dunleith Plantation

in Natchez. I was already booked so they had to book another photographer in Natchez. I love that area and can't wait to cover another wedding there!

Weddding at Carnegie Library

I just covered the wedding of Alex and Ashley at the newly renovated Carnegie Libaray in Gulfport, Mississippi. The wedding/reception venue is a nice sized main floor with large windows

and wooden floors. Light and airy was the scene on the main floor. There is a room down stairs

for wedding ceremony setup. This is the first wedding in the newly renovated building which is

managed by the city of Gulfport. The wedding and reception flowers and catering was provided

by Cardinal Florist and the reception was catered by Fat Willies Restaurant. The building should be featured in Mississippi Magazine later in the year!
