Sinclaire + Michael // The Poplars at Bearwallow Mountain // Documentary Style Wedding

January 30, 2026 in wedding

Theirs was an absolute heart burst of a wedding. Sinclaire + Michael clearly know how to love each other, and their people, unabashedly. The sun dipped gold behind the forest, a crescent moon rose, and the poplars swayed as they danced barefoot on the dewy earth.

I felt such a sense of joyful ease at this wedding. Upon reflection, this ease came from Sinclaire + Michael’s trust. They trusted that if they let themselves fully experience their wedding, just as it was unfolding, I would do the work of documenting it. No need to contrive, just let the photos reflect what is. And what was, was nothing short of magic.

Venue ~ the Poplars at Bearwallow Mountain // Planner ~ Plain With Sprinkles
