A Southern, Summer Wedding In A Sunflower Field at Laurel Rose Manor

Matt & Sarah Wigington

SEPTEMBER 03, 2016

Sarah is the younger sister of my beloved best friend, Meagen and she is the polar opposite. I love it haha. Sarah is reserved and just goes with the flow. Which is exactly how her BEAUTIFUL wedding day went at Laurel Rose Manor; the home of her parents, Dr Mike and Mrs Lisa Cockrell.

When I tell you guys how I love this house, I don't quite think you just really understand why I love this house. I first saw this beautiful landscape in 2014 when Meagen got married here and I was blown away by the variety that this stunning piece of architecture offered. SO naturally, later when Sarah was to be wed here, I already knew the property enough to visually plan ahead on how we were going to shoot.

If you make it all the way to the bottom (because there are a LOT of images shared here LOL), the beautiful decor and placements were constructed by my AWESOME friend, and former bride of mine from April, Kelsey Connor with her company Connor & Co.
You need to check her out if you are planning ANY event... She is a GODSEND!! #blessyoukelsey

These are some of my favorites from their whole day. Sarah made for one stunning bride and Matt was dapper in his timeless suit. Take the time to let these two know how loved they are!!

CONGRATS MR & MRS WIGINGTON!

An Intimate Mountainside Wedding in Gatlinburg, Tennessee | Ethan and Shana | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographers | The Hatches

Ethan and Shana Stanford | Gatlinburg Tennessee

An Intimate Mountainside Wedding

It's always fun to hear from friends in your past about documenting their futures. For some reason it makes it that much more to take in. Emotionally. For me, at least.

I grew up playing ball with Shana, Sabrina and Cameron as well as having their mom as my 5th grade teacher. We are from a small town haha. Needless to say, when Shana contacted me to photographer her wedding, I was jumping for joy! I photographed her sister, Sabrina's wedding back in 2014 so naturally I was excited to be back with their family!

After talking about the venue and how much their small wedding meant to them, I was that much more excited for them and to have the opportunity to help them relive this day over and over again. Shana was not your typical bride as she was requesting photos for more of an adventurous person, which is right up my alley! When Shana mentioned the river, I was ready to jump right in. Some of my favorite bride and groom portraits are in this river.

It was so nice to meet Ethan and his side of the family as they were all very welcoming and accommodating. I had such a great time visiting with everyone and capturing Shana and Ethan's wedding day, I truly appreciate you guys asking me and I feel honored to have been a part of your day!

Here are the highlights of their day!

A Rustic Golf Club Wedding | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographer| Mr and Mrs Cupples

June was an incredibly busy month for weddings and it was the hottest. No one let the heat interrupt their moods though, this wedding was one for the books!
My husband must be popular in the DeSoto area because most of my brides from this year and next have gone to school with him, or his brother, or at least know someone who knows him (so it seems like haha).

Kelsey was the most relaxed bride and she could care less if anything went wrong that day. She knew by nightfall that she would be Mrs Andrew Cupples, regardless. The BEST attitude to have. I know brides stress over things being absolutely perfect but it's not worth letting it get to you on your wedding day. Enjoy the little moments because the day will pass you by before you finish blinking.

As you'll be able to tell when you scroll down a ways, during reception Kelsey and Andrew had one kick ass DJ : R&R Productions. And people let me tell you, he made the entire room dance. You just couldn't sit still while he was mixing.

Jacob and I were beyond thrilled to have gotten to spend the day with The Cupples and their closest friends and family and even more humbled that they asked us to document their day. We wish you guys nothing but the best in life and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for your precious family!
