“You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and the most beautiful person I have ever known and even that is an understatement.”  

F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

John and Mattie met with me last year for a quick photoshoot here in Biloxi while completing some wedding planning before returning home to Texas. It wasn’t long before after that they booked me for their June wedding at our lovely Nativity Cathedral and the historic grass lawn in Gulfport.

I’ve loved chatting with Mattie over the last few months and I’m so thrilled she and John chose KSP for their destination wedding photographers!

The wedding day began at the Beau Rivage here on Biloxi beach. When I walked into Mattie’s suite you could feel the joy in the air and Mattie has the worlds most contagious laugh!!

The ceremony was so heartfelt and I loved that so many of Mattie’s bridesmaids actually teared up as their friend walked down the aisle. So sweet! And of course, John waiting patiently for his beautiful bride was the icing on the cake!

The pair chose grass lawn in Gulfport for their reception. Jean of After the Proposal and her team had it set up so beautifully!

Beautiful Mattie during her formal photos at the Biloxi Lighthouse Park!

Could these two be any sweeter? (I don’t think so!) The fireworks just gave me all the feels! Every girl deserves a kiss from the man she adores under fireworks, y’all!
