Heirloom Decor for A Moores Mill Club Wedding | Mary Elizabeth & Matt

Heirloom Decor for A Moores Mill Club Wedding | Mary Elizabeth & Matt

A Family Wedding in Auburn, AL

When I begin working with Mary Elizabeth and Matt for their Auburn wedding, I knew that it would be a family affair with unique, personalized details. Mary Elizabeth began the day at her family home. Her parents’ decor showcased their many family heirlooms, including these cross stitch samplers. I loved pairing her family roots with her wedding dress.

Their letterpress wedding invitations by Empress Stationery included a custom crest with Mary Elizabeth and Matt’s initials.

I loved the floral blush and light teal pajamas that Mary Elizabeth and her bridesmaids wore during wedding prep. Mary Elizabeth monogrammed each girl’s initials to their front pocket for an add southern touch! Before stepping into her dress, we celebrated the morning with a champagne pop on the front porch!

After pre ceremony portraits at Mary Elizabeth’s family home, we made our way to Auburn First United Methodist Church for their wedding ceremony. The church is located in the heart of Auburn and feels like a true piece of the community.

After a beautiful ceremony, we all huddled in the church interior while a quick summer rainstorm blew through. In true southern fashion, iit added a dash of good luck to their marriage!

 

Moores Mill Club Wedding Reception

We traveled to Moores Mill Club for their wedding reception in their outdoor pavilion on the lawn with a tented dance floor. Guests were welcomed by lanterns lighting the entrance. And at each table, centerpieces featured an heirloom silver tray from Mary Elizabeth’s family collection. In addition to their napkins, their wedding cake by Sonshine Cakes featured their custom Cox monogram.

I'm LAURA

welcome to my journal

This is where I love sharing recent weddings and sessions, my travels, and life with my husband, and our three pets. When I'm not capturing a wedding day, I'm often enjoying the outdoors with Garrett, playing with our pups, or finding a new place to call home for the weekend. My passion is telling love stories, and I hope I get to fall in love with telling yours.

let's meet!

THE JOURNAL

North Beach was the perfect location for Nicole and Rob's Tybee Island session. While they played with their pup, Lucy, I simply followed. We ran together on the sand, not worrying for once about dirty hems or windy hair.

Christie and Brian strayed from traditional southern clichés and played into the modern lines and motifs of Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta throughout their wedding design – from their paper to their florals.

I was honored to be able to capture my second photographer's sweet family for her birthday and Mother’s Day present. We played on the grounds of Meadowlark 1939 and came away with the most lovely photos of her and her family.
