Sam and Michael’s Bed and Breakfast Wedding
Weddings > June 29, 2016

Starting off this blog post with a disclaimer:  I’m absolutely terrible at keeping up with my blog.  And at 2am I remembered why:  It’s a lot of work!  I LOOOVE showcasing each couple and hope to keep doing it this season but I am absolutely terrible at deciding what images to post..I want to share them all.  Ok.back to the good stuff….

When you get an email inquiry from a groom that reads, “Would you be available to photograph our wedding next spring? If so, I would like to lock up your skills, asap! My fiancee and I love your work,” you just know it’s going to be a good fit :)  There are things about each wedding and couple that always stay with me.  For Sam and Michael, I will always remember how easy they were to work with; how GORGEOUS Sam is  no matter what the occasion; how classic black tuxes with bow ties will always be in style; how fun it was to have their dog Giz as the ring bearer…and how that gave us a good chuckle during the ceremony.  Their wedding was also a first for their venue, Willows of Winchester, a Bed and Breakfast in rural Decatur that is owned by a dear family friend.  It was the perfect location for their intimate ceremony.

Michael is the most thoughtful groom I have ever met..he put together a gift basket filled with amazing goodies along with a hand written card and placed it in Sam’s getting ready room before she arrived.

The entire day flowed perfectly and without a hitch.  Everyone was so kind and we were having a ball…during the ceremony, the homeowner tapped me on the back and asked me, “Do you think these are the real things?”  She held two rings in her hand and Giz in the other.  I wasn’t sure if they had attached the ACTUAL rings to Giz’s collar or not so we just sat back and waited…and sure enough….
