He waited by the magnificent doors at The Barn of Pearl River. He was about to see his bride on their wedding day for the very first time. They had both waited so long for the moment that was about to happen. Her brother handed him a note and a little gift. His face was beaming with excitement for what was about to happen next. Finally it was time to see her. He turned around, still beaming but this time even more than before. Finally they embraced in a long hug, soaking up just how special this moment was for them. Their wedding day was finally here!

Jamie & Cory’s November wedding was full of so much love and laughter. Jamie was practically giddy all day. During the reception I even turned to her bridesmaids and said “Jamie is having so much fun!” They agreed. Their faces told it all. They were so happy for their sweet friend, and all of the memories she was about to make.

Fall is one of those special times in Louisiana where it’s not a heat index of 100 and there is still so much green and life in the trees. With that said, that does not mean it doesn’t rain because it will rain in Louisiana when it wants to rain in Louisiana! All week before the wedding, there was a forecast that it would rain ALL. DAY. LONG. We were very lucky though and that Louisiana rain waited until we were safely inside the barn. This meant that Jamie and Cory got to have their dream wedding outside in front of the Barn of Pearl River and they were able to take all their fall wedding portraits outside as well! You just never know what the weather in the south will do, but this time we lucked out!

Jamie & Cory, thank you both so much for trusting me to love you and serve you on your wedding day. I will be forever grateful to have spent on of the most special days of your life with you! I hope that your November wedding was everything that you dreamed it would be! Here are just a few of my many favorites from November 18^th. I hope you love remembering these moments as much as you loved experiencing them!
