Hey Brides, this one is for you!
I am so excited to introduce my brand new blog series, all about planning your BEST DAY YET!
If you are planning a wedding in 2024 or 2025, then you have come to the right spot! This 6 weeks series will help you as you begin to prepare and get excited for your best day. It will be jam packed with all the best tips and tricks, not just from me, but from some of the best vendors in the business. (That I can not wait to introduce you too soon!!)
As a wedding vendor, I have the privilege of being a part of so many special days and have learned a thing or two that I believe will be helpful for you to know as you plan yours. In this series, I will be sharing some of my biggest do’s (and don’ts) as you look forward to your best day yet. It is going to be so good!
So, if you (or your best girl) are planning a wedding soon — make sure to turn your notifications on so you don’t miss a post! The lineup is set, the vendors have spoken, and we can’t wait to share our best advice and wedding day moments with you soon.
Here’s a Sneak Peek at the Line Up!
Week 1 – Let’s Get Started!
You have the ring and can not wait to say “I do.” This week, we will be talking about all the FIRST things to do. I will be highlighting a couple of my favorite planners to work with, and I can not wait for you to meet them (they will help your wedding day go FLAWLESSLY and I promise, you want them to be there)!
Week 2 – Lets Talk All Things Venue!
This week, we are setting the date and the place. I will give you my tips and tricks (as a photographer) to picking out the best venue for your wedding day. I will be highlighting the best questions to ask and the things to think through as you begin previewing venues. As always, I have the lineup for my favorites in both Jackson and Starkville! They will chime in on what makes them unique and share a little bit about their favorite part of being the place you say “I Do.”
Week 3 – Make the Memories Last!
Your wedding photographer and videographer matter! It’s just about the only thing that you will take away from the day, and they will help you relive your wedding over and over again. I’ve had the honor to cross paths with some of the best, and since I can’t be there for every brides wedding (although I do wish I could) — I’m highlighting the photographers and videographers that I would have capture my special day! I hope to be on your list, but if your date is taken, these guys are phenomenal. 10/10 recommend.
Week 4 – Food and Florals!
These are guaranteed to leave your guest talking. The food and florals are essential, and I happen to know several incredible vendors that do them so well. I love a good bouquet (and buffet ha). I am so excited for you to meet some of my favorite in the business, some specializing in both!
Week 5 – It’s Time to Party!
If you’re dreaming of dancing the night away, the DJ and Band are essential to getting everyone on the dance floor. I’ve seen this go good and bad, so I am here to ensure that the party doesn’t stop until you do. I LOVE a good dance floor, so don’t worry — I have you covered. I can’t wait for you to meet these incredible vendors that will make sure the dance floor is never empty and your reception is everything you imagine it to be!
Week 6 – Let’s Dream Together!
I can’t wait to share my best advice on planning your best day, while still enjoying every moment. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Being a part of so many wedding days, I have had the privilege of seeing what works and what doesn’t — while also getting to see some pretty creative things that you may want to incorporate too. We will talk first looks, getting ready, champagne toast, ceremony, first dances, and grand exits. I hope to answer any and all questions you may have to help your best day be just that!
I can’t wait for you to join me these next 6 weeks! It all start NEXT WEEK so mark your calendars and — see you soon!
xoxo,
Taylor
The Wright family’s Starkville Mississippi Family photography session was a beautiful reflection of connection, growth, and the joy of becoming a family of four.

I had the absolute joy of photographing Brooks and Alex Herrington this year for their first Christmas card photos together. It was pure magic!

I was so excited to capture the Harrison family in a beautiful field in Clinton, Mississippi! I’ve known Dean from our Starkville days, when we both served together in student ministry.

I had the absolute joy of photographing Hannah and Ryan for their engagement session this year! This gorgeous field in Starkville, Mississippi was the perfect backdrop for such a fun session.

Have you ever set at your dining room table and flipped through old images, as you heard stories about generations before you? It’s one of my favorite things to do, as I learn more about my family history and where I came from. This lifestyle family session with my grandparents is one I’ll never forget. […]
