“Life’s great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.”
― Victor Hugo

Sam & Cody had the most beautiful wedding at their De Winton acreage over Thanksgiving weekend. And all I can think about is Franck from Father of the Bride saying “Mm. I love the weddings at the homes. They’re very personable. Very warm and very comfortable.”

And it’s true:) Sam put so much thought into every little detail, spending countless hours hand-drawing each invitation and crafting her own bouquet out of pages from her favourite book, Les Miserables. Guests were greeted with a hot chocolate station and blankets and cozied up on hay-bales while they watched Sam & Cody pledge each other “a lifetime of random jokes and serendipitous adventures.”

We got to spend the afternoon completely relaxed taking photos on Sam & Cody’s property, with their old Studebaker truck and open field. The bridal party was SO fun, and we literally spent the entire time laughing till we cried. We got a little bit of every kind of weather, from sun to clouds to stormy skies to a little sprinkling of snow. It all made the day so beautiful.

Guests were treated to a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner at Cottonwood Golf and Country Club. Cody got his can of Dr Pepper and Sam got a huge bucket of gravy to slather on her turkey:) We snuck out for a few nighttime photos after dinner and then they spent the rest of the evening visiting with their family and friends.

Sam & Cody, it’s been such a pleasure getting to know you both over the last 2 years. I can’t believe that you’re finally married! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives and wedding celebrations, and I wish you so much joy in your future together. Much love, Carlin

In order to get Sam & Cody to kiss at the reception, you had to challenge either the bride or groom to a reflex race. Whoever lost had to go kiss someone. Kissing Game | Kissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerKissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerKissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerBucket of Gravy | Kissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerMaid of Honour Speech | Kissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerKissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerMaid of Honour SpeechKissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerCottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerShoe Game | Kissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerShoe Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerShoe Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerCottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerFirst Dance | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerFather/Daughter DanceFirst Dance | Kissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerDance with DadFather Daughter Dance | Kissing Game | Cottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerBride & GroomWedding Detail PhotosCottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerCottonwood Golf Club Wedding PhotographerCottonwood Golf Course Wedding Photographer | Night Wedding Photos
