As a Mississippi wedding photographer, I have the pleasure of capturing love stories throughout our beautiful state. Recently, I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Olivia and Airrey at the Dodson Farms in Starkville, Mississippi. The day unfolded with the crispness of fall in the air, making it the perfect backdrop for this quintessential Starkville wedding.


Dodson Farm is a gem among Mississippi wedding venues. Nestled in the heart of Starkville, the venue provided an idyllic setting for Olivia and Airrey’s special day. 


Olivia and Airrey are proud Mississippi State fans, and this was most evident in the groom’s cake design. The cake was not just a dessert; it was a symbol of their shared memories as Bulldog supporters and a nod to their journey together. Every detail of the wedding reflected their love for each other and their school, from the maroon and white pompoms at their exit to the cowbells they rang after cutting the groom’s cake.


As a Starkville wedding photographer, my goal is to encapsulate the joy and emotions of the day. Olivia radiated beauty in her stunning gown, while Airrey looked dapper in his suit. After the ceremony, the reception kicked off with an atmosphere of joy and celebration. The couple's family and friends danced the night away. The energy was infectious, and it was a joy to photograph the candid moments.


As Olivia and Airrey prepared to leave their wedding reception, they made a grand exit with cow bells in hand. Guests cheered them on while waving maroon and white pompoms. It was a stunning conclusion to a magical day, and I was honored to capture those exciting moments.


Olivia and Airrey’s wedding at Dodson Farms was a perfect blend of romance, community spirit, and Mississippi pride. As a Mississippi wedding photographer, it’s moments like these that make my work so rewarding. Their love story, celebrated with family, friends, and plenty of MSU flair, will forever hold a special place in my heart. If you’re considering a Mississippi wedding, look no further than the stunning venues and rich culture our state has to offer!
