{Saltwater Farm Vineyard 8.31.24}
Okay, you guys—get ready for some major wedding vibes because I had the BEST time spending not just Sami + Luke’s wedding day with them, but also their super special church ceremony the night before and their epic welcome dinner at Mix Restaurant & Rooftop. Seriously, I can’t get enough of couples who invite me to multiple events like this. It’s a game-changer, honestly. Not only do I get to snap even MORE amazing photos from their weekend (hello, extra memories!), but it also gives me the chance to bond with them and their guests before the big day. And let me tell you, that extra time makes SUCH a difference. It means more trust, more laughs, and a whole lot more comfort when it’s time for the main event.
The welcome dinner
Let’s talk about that welcome dinner for a sec. I left there feeling so pumped for their wedding the next day, and spoiler: it did NOT disappoint. The next morning, I was with Sami and her girls as they got glammed up by the incredibly talented Makeup By Jenna. Then, when Sami slipped into her dress from A Little Something White, I was already hooked. She looked absolutely stunning. And the first look with Luke? My heart ❤️ We got to sneak away for some fun couple portraits before their ceremony, and trust me, the photos are fire.
The ceremony + reception
Then came the ceremony. Let me just say—Saltwater Farm Vineyard is every bit as gorgeous as you’d imagine. The outdoor ceremony was pure magic, and the arbor of baby’s breath from KLW Design Co was to die for. Also, I LOVED the idea of the wedding party sitting in reserved seats instead of standing by their sides—it really let the focus stay on Sami + Luke, and it made the ceremony even more intimate and beautiful. Of course, the photos turned out amazing because of it!
After the ceremony, we danced the night away inside the venue, and guys—this place was literally straight out of a magazine. It was everything I hoped for and more. From start to finish, this day was perfect, and I feel so lucky to have been part of it all. We ended the night with a bubble exit, and off went Sami + Luke as newlyweds, ready to take on the world together.
I seriously can’t stop thinking about how much fun I had, and every time I look at these photos, I can’t help but relive the magic all over again. Thank you so much, Sami + Luke, for letting me be part of such an unforgettable weekend. I’ll forever be grateful for these memories!
