Emily and Josh’s Beautiful Wedding at Bellawood the Venue

Emily and Josh were married in the most beautiful ceremony at one of my favorite venues, Bellawood the Venue in Florence, Mississippi. The weather could not have been more perfect, and Bellawood’s charming atmosphere set the stage for a day filled with love, laughter, and the sweetest moments.

From the moment I arrived, I could tell it was going to be a special day. Emily and Josh are one of those couples who instantly make you feel like you’ve known them forever. They’re warm, joyful, and completely at ease around each other, which made photographing their wedding day such a treat. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they laughed, smiled, and promised to love and cherish each other for a lifetime.

The ceremony was heartfelt and intimate, with the natural beauty of Bellawood serving as the perfect backdrop. From the stunning greenery to the soft golden light that poured through the trees, every detail came together beautifully. You could feel the joy in the air as Emily walked down the aisle, and the way Josh looked at her said everything about the love they share.

After the ceremony, we spent some time capturing portraits around the property. Bellawood truly has some of the most beautiful photo spots in Mississippi, from the open fields to the charming architecture. The newlyweds shared a few quiet moments together, soaking in the excitement of finally being husband and wife.

Once the reception began, it was time to celebrate. DJ 51-50 kept the dance floor packed all night, and everyone had an amazing time dancing, laughing, and celebrating Emily and Josh’s love story. The energy was contagious, and it was so much fun to capture all the movement and emotion throughout the evening.

We ended the night with a stunning sparkler send-off that was the perfect way to wrap up such a joyful day. Emily and Josh walked hand in hand through a sea of glowing lights, surrounded by their favorite people cheering them on.

Their wedding at Bellawood the Venue was truly one for the books—romantic, relaxed, and full of genuine joy. Congratulations to Emily and Josh on a perfect start to forever!
