Michala & Josh Oxford Mississippi Engagement at Ole Miss

January 15, 2016 by Mid-South Bride Leave a Comment

Michala and Josh met and fell in love in Oxford, MS, so it’s only natural that they used their engagement session to take photos all around town. Along with photographer Eliza Kennard Photography they used their engagement sessions to show off the important places in their lives.

How did you meet and fall in love? 

My fiancé, Josh Ryan and I, met at the end of our Sophomore year, while attending Ole Miss.  We actually lived in the same scholarship dorm for almost 2 years before our paths crossed.  I still remember the way he looked at me that first time, as I walked past him in the hall, on the way to class.  A couple weeks later, while I was on The Square in Oxford with a couple friends, we were introduced, and we have been inseparable ever since.

How did he propose? 

Josh proposed, on July 4th,  while we were on summer vacation in Cabo, Mexico with my family and his mom.  He took me to the most romantic restaurant at the resort we stayed at in Cabo.  We shared a bottle of wine and an incredible dinner.  After dinner, the waiter invited us to go sit on the balcony at a table overlooking the water.  Before I could even gather my suspicions, the waiters were pouring us champagne and bringing out dessert.  I was caught off guard, off course, but Josh just played along like he didn’t know what was going on either.  I started taking a bite out of my dessert, to glance down to the most beautiful ring I had ever seen, and Josh beside me on one knee.  It was the most special night and having my family there to celebrate made the night even more special + the fireworks were a sweet surprise for the occasion.

How did you decide on your engagement photo locations? 

This decision was such an easy one!  We fell in love, in Oxford, MS, and some of our most special memories are there.  The best place to fall in love.. Hotty Toddy!

When and where will you be getting married? 

We are getting married May 21, 2016, in my hometown Hopkinsville, KY at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church.  Our reception will be at our family farmhouse, “The Carol House.”

What are you most looking forward to about the wedding? 

Committing our marriage in the Church that I grew up in since birth, and celebrating our marriage with our family and friends is mostly what I am looking forward to + I finally get to bring my Mississippi folks to Kentucky!

Mare & Jake’s Oxford Mississippi Ole Miss Wedding

October 19, 2015 by Mid-South Bride Leave a Comment

Mare dreamed of her outdoor wedding with a draped tent and sparkling chandeliers since she was a child. It was only natural that this vision came to life on the University of Mississippi campus after she met Jake there in college.

Their outdoor wedding on the Ole Miss campus brought to life this grand vision and celebrated their history with the school where both graduated and Jake’s grandfather coached the baseball team for many years.

Along with portraits taken by b. flint photography around campus and the historic square in Oxford, Mare & Jake’s wedding celebrates not only their special bond with each other but their bond with this special place.

Interview with Mid-South Bride Mare

How did you meet and fall in love?

We met through mutual friends while at Ole Miss. My good friend had gone out with Jake and his best friend and she told Jake that she had a friend he needed to meet. A few nights later she talked me into going out with her so she could introduce us. For the first month I did not want anything to do with Jake, would decline when he asked me out. My roommate at the time convinced me to go on one date with him to the University Club after that it was history.

What was the best part of your wedding day?

I have two favorites: first look- I will never forget the way I felt when I saw him for the first time on our wedding day and being surrounded by all of our friends and family celebrating our marriage.

How did you create your wedding vision?

Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of having an outside wedding with a white tent and chandeliers. With us both going to Ole Miss and meeting in Oxford, what better way to have an outdoor reception on Ole Miss campus.

What was your favorite part of getting married in Oxford?

My favorite part of getting married in Oxford was getting to celebrate our special day in our favorite town, hotty toddy!!

What do you love about being married?

I love that I get to spend every day with my best friend.
