Corynne & Weldon in Oxford, MS

As they planned their fall wedding, it was important to Corynne and Weldon to incorporate as many local artists as they could into their wedding details. In college, Corynne had been an associate producer for Thacker Mountain Radio and often worked with the Powerhouse in Oxford, a warehouse-style venue, to plan events. Later, she used the venue to hold charity concerts for Hope for Africa, an organization she cofounded. When the time came to plan her wedding reception, she knew the space would be perfect.

Beyond the local photography, Corynne also included antique country details, including mason jars, old books, bottle crates, glass bottles, and other homespun items in the reception details. A simple bird motif unified the rest of the wedding day details.
