Once upon a time, Faith and Reid met in high school. Although they were close friends for a couple of years, their friendship blossomed into a full-fledged relationship by the end of Faith's Sophomore year and Reid's Junior year. Faith couldn't see a future without Reid by her side, so they've been inseparable for the past six years.
"We feel an immense level of understanding for one another- feeling seen, heard, and valued. We know each other's preferences, aspirations, and the subtleties of one another's personalites. From this deep undestanding there is a level of comfort on top of unconditional love and support" ~ Faith and Reid
Their corner of the world was overjoyed when Reid proposed at Zoo Lights in Memphis, TN. Faith had been wanting to go, so he saw it as the perfect opportunity to pop the question while the pair walked around the park, rode the ferris wheel, and admired all of the beautiful white lights.
The moment couldn't have been more perfect, and ever since, these two lovebirds have been preparing for their wedding. The day is finally here! They chose Kincaid Manor as the venue, which was the very first place they toured. And honestly, I can't imagine a more perfect venue for them. With the modern white mixed with rustic wood elements, the atmosphere was perfect.
Faith and Reid had a whole team to make sure that their day ran as smoothly as possibly. Jennifer Clark and Sydney Claire Daniels from Amethyst Hair Salon helped with hair and makeup, and Buds and Blooms Floral Design supplied the gorgeous white roses. It was such an honor to be there and capture everyone's efforts. Even family chipped in! Reid's Mawmaw made their gorgeous wedding cake, and not a slice went to waste.
The wedding party shone during our pre-ceremony portraits. The couple hadn't even seen each other yet, but I could tell that they were already so excited for the events of the day! Faith and Reid could hardly wait, so it was no surprise to me that they opted to do a first-look before the wedding!
"Doing a first look was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. It gave us a private moment to connect and take in the day ahead. It was an intimate pause before the ceremony that was filled with emotion. We were also eager to see each other, and this allowed us to enjoy more of the celebration together." ~ Faith
"One special moment of our day was privately exchanging our vows. Together, in the spot where we would soon be married, we shared a moment for just the two of us. It was an emotional, sincere, and initmate moment exchanging words meant solely for each other." ~ Faith
Then, it was time for the real thing! Faith was such a gorgeous bride. From head to toe, she radiated love and joy for Reid, who beamed right back at her.
"As I took in the family and friends surrounding me, I felt an immense amount of gratitude for the people that love and support us. Seeing Reid standing there was surreal, and I was filled with love, admiration, and anticipation." ~Faith

After the ceremony, everyone in attendance was ready to celebrate!
"Our first dance song was "All the Way" by Shane Smith and the Saints. A lot of thought went into our song choice. We originally had a different song picked out. However, Reid played this song for me one night, and as we slow danced around the bedroom, we knew it was our song. Our wedding day brought back the joy we felt that night, making it an unforgettable moment." ~ Faith
Without a doubt, Faith and Reid are a shining example of true love. It was fantastic to witness, and I loved capturing every second of their special day. Many blessings and well wishes, Faith and Reid! Your love story is truly one for the history books.
