Wedding Date on Jul 14, 2018

Hope and Chris have been together for years. Their love for the Lord is probably the main reason they are together! When Hope went away to college, she said she felt like God was pressing Chris's name into her heart. Her first impression of him was that he was goofy and wore Crocs (who does that?), but when she got to know him better, she realized there was a lot more to him. They finally got together and have been in love ever since. Their wedding was an intimate gathering in the beautiful Noxubee Wildlife Refuge in Starkville, Mississippi. Chris blazed a trail through the walkway to an overlook for his bride, Hope, as you’ll see at the beginning of the film. The First Look was so special and full of emotion. They shared a sweet moment of praying together then Hope wanted to share a few words. With no letter to read from, you could tell everything came straight from her heart. Their intimate ceremony was held on a boardwalk through a beautiful Cypress swamp area of the Refuge with their families and close friends. They exchanged personally written vows that deeply reflect their faith and love for one another- have your tissues ready for this part! Following the ceremony, a small relaxing reception was held in a picnic area near the lake. The couple shared many happy moments spending time with their loved ones. When most of the guests had left, the couple and a few family members walked down to a little pavilion by the water and set up their ENO hammocks to unwind from the day. It was a very cool moment for us to capture them playing guitars and ukuleles together. The ending of the film features an original song written and performed by Hannah Bell, sister of the bride.
