I first met Sydney and Sam when they were high school sweethearts, and I took their prom pictures. Little did I know, several years later I would be photographing their wedding! After their Brookside Gardens engagement session, I knew I couldn’t wait to photograph them again.
Sydney and Sam had the most perfect autumn day for their wedding at the Belmont Manor & Historic Park. Belmont Manor provided a lovely area for the wedding party to put the finishing touches on, and an incredible backdrop for the outdoor ceremony. Do not miss the photos of Sam’s surprise ring-bearer. The surprise experience will certainly be one of my favorite wedding day stories to tell! Not to mention the dance floor that was never empty!
