Just days after the New Year rang in, on a 70-degree winter day surrounded by family, faith, and two puppies of honor, they exchanged vows under historic Oak trees surrounded by aged pecan orchards and freshwater ponds.
After a blissful wedding ceremony, we utilized the massive property for stunning outdoor photography options overlooking the inter-coastal waterways, and under a beautiful canopy of Spanish moss trees that lined the entrance. The night ended with soul food, countless rowdy toasts, dancing, and a grand sparkler exit.
