I’m no stranger to the River Landing venue located in Wallace, North Carolina, and that’s where Sam and Tristan got ready for their wedding day, and where we stopped for all of their portraits. They had their ceremony at Teachey Baptist Church, followed by a reception at The Mad Boar. I had never been there before and it was SO COOL. It actually felt kind of like being in a Scottish castle or something, that was the vibe I was picking up. It was huge, the perfect space for their giant family and friends in attendance. Sam and Tristan were lovely to work with, too. Along with their sweet little girls! I loved spending the day with them, enjoying a gorgeous fall day, and my last wedding of the year for 2025. It’s taken me a few months to get all my final weddings of the year up on my blog, but this rounds out the year and I really couldn’t have asked for a better way to end my season. Here are the highlights from Sam and Tristan’s wedding day!
