Sam and Ken had the most beautiful, holiday-inspired, winter wedding at Chateau Selah!

It was a cold, blustery, winter day in Blountville, Tennessee, but at least it was sunny! The Chateau was decorated for Christmas and was so magical and cozy. When I arrived, everyone was getting ready inside the Chateau— the guys were downstairs while the girls were up in the second-floor bridal suite.

Once ready, Sam and Ken saw each other at their first look on one of the lower balconies and shared a few sweet words and tears. Afterwards, we gathered their wedding party and quickly took photos to keep them warm for the ceremony! Once the guests had arrived, Sam and Ken exchanged vows at the beautiful outdoor alter and became husband and wife!

Between the heated reception space and the absolute party atmosphere on the dance floor, everyone kept warm throughout the evening! The reception pavilion was decorated with a lot of holiday charm— reds, greens, golds, sparkling lights, and pine greenery! Sam and Ken shared their first dance, cut the cake, and then, opened the dance floor to everyone. They both wanted an upbeat, dance party feel for their reception, and their guests certainly brought the moves! I found myself giggling all night and snapping a bunch of candids. We ended the evening with a quick and sweet sparkler exit!

Congratulations, Sam and Ken! What an incredible and memorable day!
