“Like when I close my eyes and don't even care if anyone sees me dancing. Like I can fly and don't even think of touching the ground. Like a heartbeat skip, like an open page. Like a one-way trip on an aeroplane. It's the way that I feel when I'm with you, brand new” - Ben Rector
Sam and Derek are the kind of couple that quickly feel like long-time friends. Throughout the wedding planning process several times we would get to talking and I would forget we were together to talk about the wedding timeline and not just catching up! They are such amazing individuals and even more special together as a team!
Their wedding day on Saturday began and ended at the beautiful Sepia Chapel in Two Rivers Wisconsin! The ceremony was beautifully decorated and wonderfully performed by Sam’s Aunt, with the help of a ring-warming ceremony and a poem read by a friend! They danced down the aisle to one of my favorite songs, Brand New by Ben Rector and it made me tear up seeing how happy they were at the very beginning of a whole new adventure as husband and wife!
We had a fun cocktail hour at Cool City Brewing and some beautiful Bride & Groom Portraits down along the lakefront before heading back to Sepia to dance the night away at the reception! I do have to say their family really knows how to groove, I loved watching them dance and have a good time!
Congratulations to the newly weds and thank you so much for the honor of being your photographer! I loved everything about your day and I wish you nothing but all the happiness in the world!
