Sami & Riley, now Mr. & Mrs. Sullivan, were married at Standing Rock Farms in Madison, Ohio. Their day moved between quiet, emotional moments and the biggest smiles and happiest tears, and every part of it felt intentional and heartfelt. We were there for both the photos and the film.

Getting Ready

Before the ceremony, Sami was surrounded by her bridesmaids in sage green and the women closest to her. Riley and his groomsmen were ready in matching gray suits.

The Ceremony

They said their vows indoors, under a wood-beamed ceiling and in front of tall windows, with their families filling the rows.

The Wedding Party

Outside, the wedding party gathered along the farm's wooden fences. The bridesmaids held their bouquets close, and the groomsmen didn't take themselves too seriously.

Portraits Around the Farm

For their portraits we walked the property: a path lined with willow trees, the split-rail fences, the trees turning orange at the edge of the woods, and one of the farm's highland cows, who came over to say hello.
