I’m super excitied to share this gorgeous wedding today with you guys! Photographed by Clayton Austin, he always manages to capture the day like no one else. Brooke + Manny were married in Mississippi and were inspired by the resilience of the human spirit in the Mississippi Delta and the music of the Blues – and their wedding location is like none other! They were married at the The Shack Up Inn in Mississippi. Congrats to Brooke + Manny!
Most memorable moment of your wedding day? Walking down the aisle to the accapella group’s rendition of Etta James’ “At Last.” I felt like I was dreaming.
Any advice for those planning now? Get legally married before your wedding. It reduces stress and allows you to focus on the celebration itself. Also, hand pick your guests and keep the list limited. I loved our intimate setting and our, small (50 people) group of VIPs. And just have to add that Clayton is the best wedding photographer ever! Vendors Venue: The Shack Up Inn, Clarksdale, MS Photographer: Clayton Austin Wedding Dress: Diva by Design (online shop, creates 1930s reproduction gowns), and my fantastic tailor, Best Bridal in Chantilly, VA Bridesmaid Dress: Each girl picked their own dress and headpiece.

I love the Shack Up Inn and have stayed in the Fullilove Shack. I’m so jealous that they got MARRIED there (why didn’t I think of that?!) Too cool. Congrats to the lovely couple. xo.
This makes me miss my time in Mississippi, and Clarksdale especially. Fun wedding!
Love the vintage vibe of this wedding! Absolutely LOVE the ceremony and reception locations! Does it get any prettier?
What a cool wedding! Everything looks so beautiful and full of sass. It should be a wedding in a magical realism novel. Congrats to Brooke and Manny!
Your photos are wonderful… such a vintage feel!
Can’t believe this is a real wedding! Looks like a fabulously styled shoot, with the photography capturing it all just perfectly. My favorite tidbit was the singing of “At Last”. Dreamy!
Love the bride’s headpiece – so striking!
Your photography is awe-inspiring. I absolutely adore your posts and vintageque coloring! My favorite from this batch is def. the circular rainbow
I love the pictures of the bridal party, the girls all look so great and unique.
Very nice coulours ! It looks like a film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet (cf. Amélie Poulain) !
Vintage and romantic : <3
