Lindley Farmstead at Chatham Hills Wedding {Kate & Sam}

Lindley Farmstead at Chatham Hills WeddingThe month of June was a whirlwind of madness! Tanner and I were photographing every weekend, and Kate & Sam’s Lindley Farmstead at Chatham Hills wedding was our last one in June! We could not have asked to end our month of weddings with a better group of people! Kate & Sam’s wedding was the 3rd one to ever take place at the brand new Lindley Farmstead venue! They waited months and months to see the finished barn and it was SO worth the wait! There was probably a hundred beautiful elements about Kate & Sam’s day, from the literally perfect weather, their gorgeous color scheme & decor, and their incredible smiles that could light up the darkest room… their wedding was one of our all time favorites!

Kate & Sam went to the same schools growing up, but he was just a little bit younger than her, so they didn’t meet until Kate became really good friends with Sam’s older brother. And once they met, there was no stopping their love! Well, that is until life got in the way a little (you know how life does that sometimes). Throughout the course of 6 years, they were on off, but despite all the obstacles life threw at them, they made their way back to each other and in May of 2016, Sam popped the big question at Coxhall Gardens where we later had their engagement session!

This was no ordinary proposal! Oh no. This was a proposal complete with a sneaky photographer to capture the big moment AND a new addition to their little family! Sam shows up at Coxhall Gardens carrying the cutest husky puppy, and engraved on her dog tag was “Will you marry me?”. Buuuuut Kate was too excited about their puppy to even bother looking at the tag! Eventually Sam guided Kate towards looking at the tag, and when she realized what was happening, the answer was an obvious “yes”!

We started out their day at the Chatham Hills clubhouse where Kate and Sam got ready with their closest friends and family. The weather was a perfect 70 degrees with a few clouds, a light breeze, and the sound of Kate and her bridesmaids busting out laughing right before we walked in the door that morning. We could not have been off to a better start. As day got closer and closer to their first look, Sam and I drove over to the Lindley Farmstead at Chatham Hills barn, while all of his groomsmen took the backroads with golf carts. And somehow, the guys beat us to the venue!! Still confuses me about how they managed pulled that one off. And within minutes, Kate walked down the steps of the barn for Sam to see her for the first time on their wedding day.

Neither of these two are the type of people to tear up at everything (unlike me), but what you don’t see pictured is their incredible list of family formals! Typically we suggest keeping the formals list short and sweet, but Kate had a long list of 40 groupings! Which being honest, did make us a little nervous! But after seeing how emotional Sam was around his father, we totally understood why they wanted so many family formal photos! It became very obvious, very quickly how important their families are to them! So, while I’m on the topic, I want to give a huge shoutout to both of their families for being there for Kate & Sam on one of the happiest days of their lives. It would not at all have been the same without all of you there!

When Tanner and I finally got a chance to check out the reception area, we were completely awe-struck! You’ll see what I mean when you start scrolling! 😉  Kate & Sam planned their day so perfectly! From the bridal details to their jaw-dropping centerpieces, it was all so stunning! The florals, the ceremony mansion, the gold place settings, custom designed invitations…. they did so much to make their day unbelievably unique and special! It was such an honor to be the ones capturing their beautiful moments and stunning details.

Kate & Sam, I’m beyond thankful to have met you. The entire day just flew by! It was so easy, so fun, and one of our favorite weddings yet. We were so sad to say goodbye at the end of the night, but we know it won’t be the last time we see you! We love you both and we’re wishing you the happiest, most loving marriage you could ask for!
