Debbie & Mike – Inn at the Olde Silk Mill Wedding

Built in the 1930’s, the Inn at the Olde Silk Mill gave Debbie and Mike the classic-rugged-relaxed feel. Just like them. Mike was a lot like rustic brick of the 19th century mill and Debbie was more like a chandelier. The two came together in a place that reflected their intricacies and provided a great space for them and their guests to play. Weddings are typically reflective of the couple’s ethos and this one fit these two like a glove. The decor and the food was a wonderful mix of the rugged-chic charm of the Olde Silk Mill offers and Debbie and Mike’s wedding warmly showed that. I liked it a lot.

I teamed up with Torre Photography as a second shooter to cover their nuptials and reception. I tailed the guys and he covered the bride and her ladies. These groomsmen were pretty hilarious and relaxed and I enjoyed hanging around them as the day progressed. In just a few minutes, I could tell this laid-back bunch knew each other for many, many years with the hard-hitting jokes and general ease that deep friendships and family have. I got to learn about their story and why this day, though full of celebration and love, was bittersweet.
