A few months ago, the Bliss by Sam team, along with some of our most FAVORITE event professionals, collaborated on a series of fabulous style shoots for both ceremony and reception inspiration at the Oaks at Salem in Apex, NC.  My next few blog posts will feature the awesomeness that took place over the course of the three day shoot, which resulted in us landing the cover of Weddings Magazine!

This first post features ceremony inspiration themed after “A MidAutumn’s Night Dream.”  This shoot was created, styled, and directed by the amazing Samantha Dockery, owner of Bliss by Sam Weddings and Occasions.  Enjoy!

The Oaks at Salem was the PERFECT venue to execute such a romantic, outdoor themed event.  Would you consider doing a theme like this for your wedding?
