Fun, Energetic Wedding
I LOVED the energy of everyone involved in Rudasia and Ricky’s wedding, and I knew I had to make their opening strong to match what it felt like being there. Both them, and all of their family and friends made my job easy with how much they interacted with the camera. Such a fun wedding!
How Andrea and Myers Met
One of my favorite ways to open a film is telling the story of how the couple met. I especially love it when friends tell that story in their speeches. So, when Andrea and Myers’ friends laid it all out, I knew it was going to be the basis of their film and love the way it turned out!
Logan's Letter
You never know how a groom is going to react to things on a wedding day, but Logan managed to exceed all my expectations with every speech he gave and letter he wrote along with the emotion he put behind it. Such a beautiful letter to his soon-to-be bride.
Know Your Wedding Vendors | Episode 4: Bridal Path
Had such an incredible time sitting down to talk with my friend Audrey McCarty to hear all about Bridal Path. The wedding dress business is one side of the industry that I literally know NOTHING about, so it was nice to have Audrey in to break down how it all works, the history of her business, and updates about their big move coming up! Check it out!
Logan and MaryScott First Look
Yeah, I’m not kidding when I say this was one of my favorite first looks. Logan’s reaction to seeing MaryScott was so incredibly genuine. Such a good one!!
Know Your Wedding Vendors | Episode 3: Fresh Cut Catering & Floral
We got another Vendor Vlog! This time I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Julia Putt, who runs Fresh Cut Catering & Floral with her mom, Wendy Putt. They have built a business that has become a powerhouse in the wedding industry in Mississippi and beyond, and it was such an honor to hear Julia talk about their history, process, and why she loves this job. Take a second to listen and learn a little about the catering, floral, and rental side of the wedding business!

Know Your Wedding Vendors | Episode 2: Amy Moore, Style Entertainment
Continuing this series of talking with wedding vendors, I got the chance to sit down with the amazing Amy Moore of Style Entertainment to hear about the wedding band and DJ side of this industry! It was so much fun getting to hear her story and learn so many new things about the entertainment side of weddings!
How to Give a Good Wedding Speech
So, you've got a close friend or family member getting married soon and you've either been selected or "voluntold" to give a speech. Whether you're great on the mic or hate being in front of people, you're probably feeling both a little nervous and excited. Either way, you know you want to knock this one out of the park to give the couple a speech they'll remember for years to come. Well, I'm here to help! After 8 years in this industry, I have heard hundreds of wedding speeches. I've heard them all, amazing, terrible, boring, hilarious, and even some disturbing speeches. Regardless, I've noticed a few things that I think would go a long way in helping you write an amazing speech.
Best Man Speech
I love it when the best man is the groom’s brother because brothers can roast each other in their speeches like no one else can! 🤣🤣
Joyce's Vows to Bretty
When two writers marry each other, you just know the vows are going to be excellent
Lexy and Mo's First Look
Sometimes you get highly emotional and teary-eyed first looks and other times you get one where they both just can’t stop laughing and smiling. Both are so good! Lexy Landry
Know Your Wedding Vendors | Episode 1: Followell Fotography
I’ve always LOVED forming friendships with other wedding vendors from all the time we spend together. There’s nothing better than showing up on a wedding day and seeing familiar faces smiling back and ready to work with you. However, I always wanted to have more time to get to know these vendors when we’re not both working. I also realized that most couples really don’t get a chance to really know these vendors or understand their industries outside of their own interactions with them for their wedding. So, I figured I would just start bringing them in to the studio to ask questions and help both me and future couples get to know and understand them, starting with my good friend and amazing wedding photographer, followell | fotography ! Let’s get to know your vendors!
King Wedding Setup
I’m honestly still amazed at how well OAK Weddings put this incredible day together despite the crazy weather we had right up until the morning of the wedding. Everything turned out perfectly!!
Putting the finishing touches on Mo and Lexy’s wedding film this week, and I still love this look down the aisle from Mo!
