A Beautiful Day on the Gulf Coast: Rae & Aaron’s Wedding Celebration

I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Rae and Aaron’s incredible wedding day, which took us to some of the Gulf Coast’s most charming venues. From beginning to end, their day was filled with so much joy, love, and laughter — a true reflection of their relationship.

Getting Ready at The Roost in Ocean Springs
We started the day at The Roost, a beautiful, light-filled boutique hotel in Ocean Springs dipped with the local history of the Walter Anderson Museum, where Rae and her bridesmaids got ready. The atmosphere was full of excitement and little touches of Rae’s style — everything from her floral arrangements to the soft details of her gown seemed to match her warm personality. The energy was relaxed but also buzzing with anticipation as Rae and her closest friends prepared for this big moment.

Meanwhile, Aaron and his groomsmen got ready nearby, sharing stories and laughs, making sure every detail was just right. The camaraderie was contagious, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.

A Meaningful Ceremony at St. Michael Catholic Church
Rae and Aaron chose St. Michael Catholic Church for their ceremony — a stunning church. The church’s beautiful interior was the perfect setting for their vows, filled with family and friends ready to witness this special commitment. Watching Rae and Aaron exchange vows was incredibly touching; their love and respect for each other shone so brightly in that moment. The ceremony was filled with emotion, and you could feel the love and support of their families surrounding them.

A Joyful Reception at The White Pillars in Biloxi
After the ceremony, we made our way to The White Pillars in Biloxi for an unforgettable reception. The historic venue’s classic elegance provided a romantic setting for the evening celebrations. The decor was perfectly suited to Rae and Aaron’s style — elegant, warm, and welcoming. The laughter, the clinking glasses, and the music filled the room as guests celebrated with the happy couple.

As the night went on, the dance floor was packed, and it was clear this group was ready to celebrate Rae and Aaron’s new journey together!

Capturing the Love
From the quiet, intimate moments at The Roost to the joyous celebration at The White Pillars, Rae and Aaron’s wedding was a dream to photograph. These two have such a beautiful connection, and it was an honor to capture the start of this new chapter in their lives.

Congratulations, Rae and Aaron! May your life together be filled with as much love and happiness as you shared on this unforgettable day.
