Craig of Bus33 Films did a fabulous job of filming Sam and Kaitlyn’s oh so fun wedding with Super 8. I would definitely suggest checking it out below. The beginning part of the film involving the invitation box is so cute!
I wanted to give one last shout out to all the wonderful vendors involved in The Free Wedding below. Also, thank you again to Sam, Kaitlyn, and Jonah for being such a great family to work with. We wish all three of you a lifetime of happiness and love!

If you can’t already tell…we had a lot of fun of putting together this event. A lot of love and time went into making this wedding happen, but I think everyone involved would do it over again in a heartbeat. We’ve got one more post coming up, but I will leave you with the last post of images from Our Labor of Love. Check out Sam and Kaitlyn’s getaway at the bottom…
Stay tuned for Sam and Kaitlyn’s adorable Super 8 film coming up next!

I always jump at the chance to brag on my friend, Joy Thigpen. Very few people have such a mind blowing talent like Joy has when it comes to designing and styling events…seriously. There are no limits to what she can come up with, and I love how every wedding she designs is a true reflection and celebration of the couple she is working with(which is what its truly all about at the end of the day, ya know?). Oh, and did I also mention they always turn out to be drop dead gorgeous events…
Stay tuned for Part II of their reception coming up next!

Are there words to even describe the talented and amazing the photography team, Our Labor of Love? Not only do they take incredible photographs, but Jesse and Whitney are some of the kindest and most giving people I’ve ever come across…ever. Their passion for life and what they do is clearly evident in every image they take, and if you can’t already tell we’re a big a fan of Our Labor of Love here on Once Wed.
How adorable are Sam and Kaitlyn? Their joy filled reception is coming up next…

As far as the aesthetics of the environment…well, so much was already established because of the venue. Sun in My Belly was the perfect setting for this wedding because it is so warm and quirky and laid-back. And when Max said we could have free reign in there it made me really happy. I just wanted it to be really festive and light-hearted and a bit more young feeling because there was a child involved and Kaitlyn herself seemed to have such a youthful spirit. When my husband :) Tyler, played the hammer dulcimer as Kaitlyn walked down the aisle beneath all the ribbons of paper, it really was magical. I don’t think there was a dry eye. And Sam totally lost it! It was so sweet.
Stay tuned for more of this fabulous celebration coming up next!
