Becky & Sam's Mapleton Barn Wedding

Sneak Peek: Sam + Becky chose Mapleton Barn for their wedding day celebration. They wanted their wedding to be fun, casual, and light-hearted - and the rustic and rural charm of Mapleton barn fit perfectly. This was a bonus for me - I’ve wanted to shoot a wedding there ever since I heard about it a few years ago.

Becky’s morning started in a beautifully converted farm building next to the barn - a serene and lovely space to get ready and hang out with her best ladies. Sam arrived a little later to check over the details and arrange his groomsmen’s gifts - replica lightsabers! When the guts arrived - they of course had to try them all out!

The Mapleton barn’s grounds are lushly landscaped with mature trees, white fences, and converted farm buildings. It is gorgeous - and while the rains held off for the most part - they cast an incredible moody light and saturated feel over the entire day.

Sam + Becky’s first look was emotional and moving - and then we jumped right into photos. Their wedding party was hilarious, which made it all more fun, and we had a great time frolicking across the farm grounds and dodging periodic moments of rain. But the rain never took hold - and with the help of my collection of 20 odd Roost Umbrellas - the ceremony was held outside just as Becky had imagined it! They hired a fantastic artist (Kristina!) to do a live painting of their ceremony, and it added to the fun and turned out great!

And then it was time for cocktails and delicious BBQ, speeches and dancing, and partying the night away. One of my favorite moments was when the Bride and bridesmaids stole the guy’s lightsabers and had a little dual outside.

Sam + Becky are fabulous humans and delightful to be around. I wish them the best in their life together and in the D&D campaigns as well!
