I know that whole ‘Southern charm’ thing is pretty cliche, but really, there is something just so charming about Southern weddings.
MaKenzie & Brandon are college sweethearts who met in an 8am history class at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. Their home state has played a huge role in their relationship so they made it a central focus for their wedding planning too.Â
A historical home for their ceremony, a famous bourbon whiskey distillery for their reception, a Southern feast for food, and homemade local treats for favours. With a November wedding date, the couple gave their celebration an elegant, cosy feel with rich burgundy hues, luxurious textures and lots of greenery.
The day, filled with emotions – just wait until you see their first look! – was captured by Brandi Potter Photography, who said she welled up throughout too. You might want a box of tissues close by for this one, just in case.Â
