✨ Meet Mallory & Dexter! ✨
So excited to introduce another one of my sweet 2026 couples! 🤍 Mallory is from Starkville, MS, and Dexter is from Houston, MS, and their story started with a little help from a mutual friend!
After hearing about Mallory, Dexter messaged her on Instagram. They talked for about a week before he asked her on a date… and Mallory got a little “stranger danger” and stopped texting him. 😂 A few months later, Dexter posted a picture on Facebook, Mallory liked it, and he decided to reach out one more time. Thankfully, she said yes to the date this time! She quickly realized how sweet, patient, and kind he was—and says he’s still that same gentleman today.
Dexter proposed on May 10, 2026 at their new home. He brought Mallory to the back patio, where he had hung a porch swing engraved with “The Blissards” and placed a Bible on the seat engraved with her future name, “Mallory Blissard.” When she turned around, Dexter was on one knee! After she said yes, they went inside to find their friends and family waiting to surprise them with an engagement party.
Mallory describes their relationship as 10-90, kind, and fun. “10-90” comes from the Muscadine Bloodline song that will be their first dance—the idea that when one person only has 10% to give, the other is there to give 90%. They strive to always be kind to one another, lift each other up, and have plenty of fun along the way.
As someone who also loves photography, it was especially important to Mallory to have not only the big moments of their wedding captured, but all of those little details and candid moments in between. It means so much that she chose me to document them!
Mallory & Dexter will be getting married November 21, 2026 at Lilly Creek Farms in Belden, Mississippi, and Mallory says she’s most excited to finally marry the man she’s prayed for since she was a little girl.
I can’t wait to celebrate these two and capture their day this November! ✨
