Liz & John Mark chose to get married in Liz’s hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. I had the honor of photographing Liz and her family at her childhood home before the wedding. There’s nothing I love more than the chance to photograph a bride’s prep and portraits in a place that has so many wonderful memories tied to it. Liz put her dress on in her bedroom and we took portraits on the lawn in front of their home. Liz’s father had the forethought to place their basketball in the yard beside the driveway, paying homage to this scene from Father of the Bride. The whole day felt representative of that film : Liz’s home, the care Liz & her family had for one another, the connection and love Liz & John Mark exuded, and the big celebration that evening!
