the burn, revisited.

Jan 5, 2008



you may remember a post i made on a southern b&b, the burn, located in natchez, mississippi. well, it just so happens that the talented leigh miller remembered and alerted me to a wedding that was recently shot at this beautiful location. she pointed me over to ben chrisman's blog and boy, is there a ton of eye candy.

i would go ahead and tell you about the drop-dead gorgeous ceremony they had but ben does it pretty well himself:
'... they had the most beautiful ceremony I have ever seen. It was held in a pre-Civil War church built on a plantation which was used by the plantation owners and their slaves. It's in the middle of nowhere, and not many people ever go to it, which made everything that much cooler. And then Vicki and Jacob filled the church with candles, which gave the entire room a beautiful orange glow. After that, the reception was held at Vicki's family home, which is called The Burn. It's now a bed and breakfast, but it was used as a hospital for Union soldiers during the Civil War. And it's haunted to the point where some guest rooms are never slept in. At least not by living people. :-)'




honestly, how amazing is that candle-lit ceremony? the full slideshow of their wedding can be viewed here. enjoy!

  2. I've finally gotten a chance to look at your blog. I can't believe this girl found that little chapel! It really is in the middle of nowhere - not even close to The Burn. The plantation did burn down a way long time ago. The chapel and converted slave quarters are all that remain. Many years ago, one of my mom's friends lived there - maybe they still do - and my mom, grandfather, and I went out to visit and look at the chapel. It needed TONS of work back then, but I always thought it would be a beautiful place for a wedding. Looks like I was right! Thanks for the pics!
