Makenah & Kade’s wedding at Lakeside Manor in Vancleave, Mississippi, was certainly one to brag on and was the perfect setting for their wedding day. With bright white walls, gorgeous chandeliers, and beautiful natural light pouring throughout the space, it felt elegant and timeless. I completely understand why Makenah fell in love with this venue! It was the perfect backdrop for their day.

When we arrived, the girls were already having the best time in the bridal suite, and one of my favorite things was just how calm everyone was. I love when we walk into a bridal suite and everyone is relaxed, laughing, and enjoying the morning! It makes such a difference and allows everyone to soak in those little moments before the ceremony with zero stress! Yes, please!

Then came the first look with Kade… and it was such a sweet moment for the two of them. One of the best parts to me of a first look is the chance to spend more time together before and after the ceremony, not to mention extra portraits.

The ceremony was beautiful and meaningful, with a gorgeous cross serving as the backdrop as they exchanged their vows. It was such a perfect reminder of what their wedding day was truly about as they began this new chapter together. It was clear to see!

And then it was time to celebrate! And celebrate they did, y’all! The reception was full of dancing and laughter. These two are the kind of couple who know how to enjoy their people and enjoy their day, and their reception reflected that perfectly. Everyone was having a great time, and the dance floor stayed full as they celebrated with their family and friends. And of course, you cannot have a September wedding without a little college football fun! We had the Ole Miss and LSU game playing during the reception, which was such a fun touch. A wedding reception with great food, a packed dance floor, and college football on the screen? I mean…what more could you ask for!?!?

Makenah and Kade, it was such a joy to be part of your beautiful wedding day. I hope these photographs always bring you right back to the joy you felt on your big day!
