Not every photographer is lucky to shoot a Halloween wedding! When JoBeth and Josh asked me to shoot their Halloween themed wedding on Halloween day, I was curious and wanted to do it bad! The wedding was at The Candy Factory Suites in Memphis, a venue I never shot before so I went there along with my second shooter for a scout. It is a beautiful venue, modern but also has this old world charm and perfect for small weddings. This venue definitely feels cozy and personable.
The venue is located in downtown Memphis on M.L.K. Jr Avenue and there are many beautiful urban spots around to take some great photos without going too far.
Since this wedding happened during the infamous Covid-19 pandemic, there were of course many precautions taken and I am impressed how the venue took this seriously and made sure they checked temperatures of every guest coming in and keeping sanitizer stations all over. The wedding party had custom made masks too!
The guests had some hilarious and beautiful costumes too! We had Gene Simmons (In a mask), little supermen and spidermen, Flo from Progressive and Jake from State Farm and many more!
This post is not enough to talk about the bride and groom. The beautiful couple are the nicest people ever, very genuine and warm and I could see how much they were in love with each other. I am lucky to get to work with couples like that.
This has been a memorable wedding I have photographed in Memphis and will have fond memories from this shoot. If you are planning a small and intimate wedding, I will definitely recommend this venue.
