The Marston Wedding

There are some weddings that leave a lasting impression — not just because of the beauty of the day, but because of the people. Kelsey and Cody’s wedding at Whispering Pines Plantation was one of those unforgettable days where everything simply clicked.

The weather could not have been more perfect — the kind of soft, golden sunlight that photographers dream about. Whispering Pines, with its sweeping landscapes and charming Southern elegance, made the ideal backdrop for a celebration filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of joy.

Kelsey was a radiant bride — glowing with happiness, grace, and just the right amount of nerves as she walked toward Cody, who waited with the biggest smile I think I’ve ever seen. The way he looked at her said everything.

From the ceremony under the pines to a joyful reception surrounded by family and longtime friends, the entire day felt deeply personal and beautifully rooted. Every detail reflected their personalities and love story — simple, sweet, and full of life.

It was also just fun. Being with familiar faces, laughing, dancing, and celebrating this incredible couple reminded me why I love doing what I do.

Kelsey and Cody, thank you for trusting me to preserve your memories. Your love is real, grounded, and inspiring. Here’s to a lifetime of joy, rooted in faith, family, and friendship.
