We had the absolute pleasure of photographing Bridgit and Wade’s wedding a few weeks ago, and we couldn’t wait to share the fabulous photos! This wedding was one of those weddings that we could have shown up with a cell phone camera and still have taken gorgeous photos because everything was just sooooooo perfect. The location, the light, and most importantly the couple all rocked!!! This wedding was also our first “destination” wedding because it was in Natchez, Mississippi; and Bridgit and her family were just so accommodating to us! The wedding took place on the beautiful Dunleith Plantation Home. There isn’t too much else that we can say about this awesome couple and their amazing wedding, so just sit back and enjoy the photos :).

I cannot stress enough how much we L.O.V.E for the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony. The intimate moment when they see each other for the first time never ceases to amaze me. Plus, it allows the day to flow better because all the formal family photos can be taken before the ceremony; and once the ceremony is over, its party time at the reception :)! But, as always, we completely respect all of our brides’ decisions and will be happy whether they see each other before or during the ceremony for the first time. But Bridgit and Wade did choose a “first look,” and we ADORE their photos from the first look:

We couldn’t ask for a better location to take bride and groom pics than this oak grove (or is it a cypress grove? oh well…regardless of what tree it is, it’s breathtaking!).

And their reception ROCKED! Everyone had a great time dancing well into the night. We took a lot of photos using the flash, but we actually like these photos without using the flash much more. The quality may not be as crystal clear since we had to slow the shutter speed and up the ISO so much, but I just love the mood they give.
