Married: March 28, 2026


It was such an incredible honor to be part of Madison and Mitchell’s wedding day. I absolutely love the Olds family, and it meant so much to be welcomed back to capture another beautiful celebration with them. I truly do not take that lightly.

This was also my first time photographing at Chez Felicité, and I completely fell in love with the property. It was the perfect setting for their day. And the weather… it could not have been more beautiful for an outdoor wedding in South Louisiana. Truly the kind of day every bride dreams of. They were so blessed.

The afternoon was filled with so many meaningful moments. One of the most special was Madison’s first look with her dad. Rory has the biggest heart, and you could feel just how much he loves his daughter. It was such a sweet and emotional moment.

Before the ceremony, Madison and Mitchell shared a quiet prayer together in the courtyard. It was such a beautiful way to center their hearts before walking down the aisle. Moments like that always stand out to me.

Their ceremony was heartfelt and full of meaning. Brother Blyght Wunstell did such a beautiful job officiating. One of the most unique and special parts of their ceremony was the branding ceremony, where they created a keepsake together. It was such a meaningful representation of the life they are building as one.

Mitchell, a firefighter from Texas, was such a joy to be around. He was incredibly welcoming, and his family was just as kind. Throughout the day, both families went out of their way to thank us over and over, which truly meant so much. It was so evident how loved and supported Madison and Mitchell are.

As the sun began to set, the evening only became more magical. Their first dance took place under the oak trees with the glow of string lights, and it was absolutely stunning. From there, the dance floor stayed full as everyone celebrated the newlyweds. It was such a joyful night filled with so much love and laughter.

The evening ended with the sweetest last dance followed by a beautiful sparkler exit. It was the perfect ending to such a special day.

Madison and Mitchell, thank you both so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day. It truly meant so much to be a part of it. I pray your marriage is filled with joy, love, and countless blessings in the years ahead.

Here are a few highlights from their beautiful day. I hope you enjoy.

God Bless,

Crystal
