Kia & Austin {Southeast Missouri Wedding Photographer}

This wedding is extra special to me because it was filled with my own family & friends from my hometown in Missouri. Kia is my first cousin, and I've looked forward to photographing her & Austin's wedding day for a very long time. Kia was a gorgeous bride - her dress from the White Room here in Nashville was amazing and fit her style perfectly - and Austin was as handsome as ever in his gray tux!

Kia & Austin's wedding day was filled with the challenges of weather that forced them to move indoors after having planned an outdoor ceremony, but the skies cleared for us to be able to go to their outdoor site for all their bridal party photos. I'm so glad it did because they are some of my all time favorites!

I loved being a part of this day with them, and I hope you enjoy their blog post today - it's so much fun reliving the day through their photos!

Lots of wedding gorgeousness ahead - and I really had to make myself stop including more and more photos - love this wedding & this couple :)

Enjoy!

~ Mandy

Alisha & Aaron's Winter Wedding {Southeast Missouri Wedding Photographer}

I am so very excited to share more images from Alisha & Aaron's gorgeous winter wedding! This was a truly fun day for me to be a part of, both families and all their friends were so happy and excited for them and that energy was obvious throughout the day. I really loved how lighthearted and fun everyone was. This was my first wedding where the church was still decorated for Christmas and I think having the trees and lights up made everything look that much more festive! (I wonder if I can request that in July :) Also, it was a REALLY cold January day, but our lovely couple braved the it to get some of my favorite shots in Downtown Cape Girardeau!

The reception had so many beautiful details! The two forks the couple used during the cake cutting were Aaron's grandparents. Also, Aaron MADE all the little bowls filled with mints (which were made by the mother of the bride) at the reception, as well as the doves on top of the wedding cake! Amazing!!

Aaron & Alisha, I had such a great time working with you! I wish you the happiest of marriages!

Thanks for looking!
