Sam + Michael | Turquoise & Gold Country Club Wedding

Roses in light pastel shades and bridesmaids in soft teal dresses brought romance to this Georgia wedding. The reception was decorated with teal, gold, and glass accents, with muted greenery that added a touch of earthy elegance to the grand country club ballroom.

For Sam and Michael, their love for the Blessed Mother, which began during their relationship, carried through to their wedding day; a celebration with grace abundantly present in both the grand and intimate moments.

Their photographer describes the experience of photographing their wedding, capturing all the intentional details lovingly planned by the bride and groom.

From the Photographer

Sam and Michael's August wedding was beautiful in so many ways. One example was their love for Mary and their consistent devotion to her throughout their relationship.

While discerning marriage, Sam and Michael prayed a novena to Mary Undoer of Knots. Then, in 2019, Michael proposed to Sam on the feast of the Assumption, and they were married on the feast of the Queenship of Mary. During their nuptial Mass, they included a beautiful prayer to the Blessed Mother as well.

From the prayers that Sam’s bridesmaids prayed over her, to the foot washing ceremony, to the lavender toss exit, Sam and Michael’s wedding was full of joy and celebration.

The bride was married in a gorgeous dress from J. Andrews Bridal and a veil made by Michael's mother. While getting ready, Sam gifted each of her bridesmaids an elegant Stamped and Finch gold bracelet, customized with a specific word for each person.

They were married in Peachtree City, Georgia, where both Sam and Michael grew up, in a sanctuary just steps from the room where they first met. Their reception featured the sweetest foot washing ceremony and plenty of dancing. Then they departed with a fun (and sweet-smelling) lavender toss exit.

Sam and Michael are a testament of devotion to each other and their shared faith, and it shone through in every moment of their wedding day. As their photographer, it was a gift to see all the moments that unfolded—each a witness to the holiness of the couple and their families.

To see God working in the grand, beautiful moments and the small, intimate glances was powerful. I believe every wedding can reflect this divine beauty, if only you invite the Lord in.
