Memorable Stock’s Manor Wedding

Apr 6, 2022

It may have been the day after April 1st, but there were definitely no jokes to be found! Samantha and Brad’s Stock’s Manor Wedding will be one to remember! From stunning details and never-ending smiles to an ice cream truck as the final treat, this day perfectly captured their love!

And to have the honor to photograph it is something I will never take lightly!

As Brad stood at the front of the aisle at the stunning Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, the guests, in unison, came to a silence. He stood with the biggest smile I had ever seen. Almost jumping out of his shoes with so much excitement!

The whole morning, all he could say was how excited he was to see her!

Bridesmaids slowly started to descend down the aisle, one-by-one. Each giving him a quick smile to let him know they were so excited for the two of them to start this next chapter. It was a simple but special moment. As the music changed tune, the priest asked for all to rise. The moment was finally here. Around the corner came Samantha in her stunning Oleg Cassini dress. Her hand was clenched around her brother’s arm. His hand on top to let her know he was with her every step. Supporting her and showing her how much he loves her. Halfway down the aisle, Samantha looked over to her brother and smiled. The two of them knew exactly what it meant, and that was all that mattered!

It was such a special moment for the two siblings before she was given away.

Brad, waiting as she took each step, was fighting back tears. Tears of excitement. Tears of happiness. And tears because she was the most beautiful person he could have ever imagined. And in an hour, he was going to be able to call her his wife!

His emotions were the happiest they had ever been!

As the priest motioned Brad to come forward and meet Samantha, you could see the excitement exuding from him. He got there as soon as he could! Stopping to give her brother a hug, and then reaching for Samantha’s hand. As their two hands touched, they locked eyes. It was finally their wedding day! Let me tell you, it was one of the best wedding days as well. The people that surrounded these two were just the kindest! So sweet. So inviting. And a ton of fun! It instantly felt like I was seeing an old group of friends from high school!

Samantha and Brad truly have the best support system!

It makes complete sense because Samantha and Brad are the sweetest people as well. Always excited to meet new people, and when you are talking to them, it truly feels like they are fully engaged! That your conversation is the most important thing to them at that moment! No wonder everyone loves to be around them!

I didn’t want the day to end!

Looking back through all the photos as I put the blog together, I found myself smiling from ear-to-ear. There were just so many special moments to remember. I am so excited for them to have these memories forever! Below are some of my absolute favorites and just a snippet of what an incredible day it was! Enjoy!

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
