Oxford Wedding, Part I

As most of you know, I've been shooting along side Kevin Barré for some time now, and I would like to give props to him for giving me the opportunity to photograph some of the most beautiful wedding in the mid-south area. We were down in Oxford, Mississippi recently for the wedding of Emily Blair & Brett, a fantastic southern affair held at two of northern Mississippi's most charming and historic places. We started our afternoon at the Castle Hill Resort, an elegant antebellum bed and breakfast just east of town where Emily Blair, her family and bridesmaids were getting ready. I can honestly say this is one of the prettiest venues I've photographed in, and the afternoon light was the kind photographers dream about. We were able to get lots of stunning pictures of the ladies and their family.

Later, we drove over to the historic Oxford University United Methodist Church on the edge of the Ole Miss campus, where the couple exchanged their vows in a quaint, traditional ceremony. Afterward, the bride had plans to have the wedding party driven back to Castle Hill in a double-decker bus. When we realized the bus wasn't coming, we learned just how nice of a couple we were working with. Seemingly without concern, and un-phased by the missing bus, Emily Blair & Brett hopped in the car with us and rode to their reception, laughing and joking the whole way.

Back at Castle Hill, the fun picked up as the DJ kicked up the music and some of the best lighting I've ever seen at a reception. The chill in the air and dew on the dance floor didn't keep anyone from having a wonderful time, including Kevin and me.
