Fuller Gardens Wedding | Samantha & Raylin - New England Wedding Photographer

Fuller Gardens Wedding:

Fuller Gardens located in the iconic Seacoast area of New Hampshire was the perfect place for Samantha and Raylin to have their intimate and gorgeous garden wedding. The theme for their Fuller Gardens wedding was a garden tea party. They completed this theme with tea and cookies for their guests to enjoy before and during the ceremony. Samantha and Raylin expressed from our first conversation that having a stress-free and small gathering were so incredibly important to them. They really wanted their close knit family and friends to celebrate with them in an intimate setting which Fuller Gardens provided. Samantha and Raylin were not huge fans of the of formalities and traditions seen at typical weddings and wanted to make their Fuller Garden wedding day unique and “them”. The ceremony was performed by Raylin’s mom and it truly reflected them as a couple. They included unique touches, like a special box, where they placed their secret wedding vows to each other in and a bottle of whiskey. The box is to be opened on their anniversary. Samantha also surprised everyone and stood on top of a wooden box, that she decorated, for their kiss… as you will see in the photos, Raylin is much taller than Samantha. By tossing the formalities out the window, Samantha and Raylin had a flexible schedule, which allowed us to go to multiple locations for their portraits together. The Seacoast of New Hampshire over delivers with locations and backdrops. We shot in each of the special gardens within Fuller Gardens and then explored the beach area. We ended our time together in downtown Portsmouth. Samantha and Raylin gave me so much freedom that it allowed me to feel completely inspired. They are a super inspiration couple as well and I left their wedding day on a natural high. They have expressive and mesmerizing personalities and can make anyone feel like their friend. I feel so lucky that I was able to document their wedding day. I cannot wait to see Samantha and Raylin’s love story develop in the years to come. I hope you can see the fairytale these two created together for their wedding day!
