I'm almost done playing catch up on the weddings I've photographed the last few months.

These images are from Missy and Will's wedding at Monmouth Plantation in Natchez. Interestingly, the last two weddings I've photographed have been at Monmouth. I'll be posting the second very soon.

I had a great time with Missy and Will, and have to say, their's was one of the most laid back weddings I've ever photographed. The wedding was held at the end of July, so it was a bit warm, but that didn't stop anyone from having a blast. The power went out about an hour or so into the reception, but that, too, failed to stop the party or dampen spirits. They just pulled out an ipod and a jam box (can't believe I just typed that!) and kept the music going. And 90 minutes later when the power returned, so did the band. I was really impressed with how everyone didn't seem to miss a beat and just enjoyed the evening for what it was -- a wonderful gathering of friends and family.

As an added bonus, a few of the guests were friends of mine that I'd not seen in nearly fifteen years. Seeing old friends when you're not expecting to do so is always a nice reminder of how small the world really is. And reliving wonderful memories -- well, that never gets old.

Thank you Missy and Will for allowing me to document your day.
