The day dawned sunny and gorgeous on the morning of Rob and Michele's wedding, setting the perfect scene for their timeless country celebration at Sungate Place. With the planning behind them, this couple set out to savor every moment, from exchanging heartfelt vows to celebrating with their closest family and friends. Their joy and love were at the heart of every detail, reflecting the care and attention that went into making the day unforgettable.


As ranch owners and lifelong horse lovers, it was only fitting that horses played a special role in their day. Michele made a grand entrance, riding in a horse-drawn surrey with Sungate's horse, Doc, by her side. The sight of Michele being escorted by her father down the aisle was a beautiful, emotional moment. During the ceremony, both sets of parents joined them at the altar to pray over their marriage, a touching symbol of the love and support surrounding them.


The day was filled with joy and emotion. There were laughs, hugs, and a few tears as the evening unfolded. From the heartfelt toasts to the special dances, Rob and Michele were showered with love at every turn.


I couldn’t have asked for a better team of wedding vendors to collaborate with. Sungate Place provided the perfect setting—accommodating and welcoming to all. Buffaloe Blooms crafted a stunning floral arch and gorgeous bouquets that complemented the soft palette of the day, while Fender Bender Mobile Bar ensured the cocktail hour and reception were full of fun and great drinks.


As a wedding photographer, I truly feel I have one of the best jobs in the world—capturing moments of love on such an important day. Rob and Michele's wedding was a beautiful testament to the power of love, family, and community. I wish them nothing but happiness as they begin this new chapter together.

I hope you enjoy walking through the highlights of this timeless and beautiful country wedding with me!
