This week's wedding is extra special. ❤️

Over the years, we've had the honor of watching so many couples begin their forever at The Old 56. Every wedding holds a special place in our hearts, but this weekend is one we'll never forget.

This weekend, our son is getting married.

As a mom, it's hard to put into words all the emotions that come with watching your little boy grow into the man he has become. The little boy who once held my hand is now taking the hand of the love of his life and starting a new chapter of his own.

We've spent years helping other families celebrate this incredible milestone, and now it's our turn. We are beyond grateful, excited, emotional, and blessed to welcome a new daughter into our family.

As we prepare The Old 56 for this weekend's celebration, we're reminded of what this venue has always been about—love, family, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

And our hearts couldn't be any fuller. ❤️

There’s just something about black & white wedding photos at the barn 🤍

The way they strip everything back to the emotion—the glance, the touch, the quiet in-between moments. No distractions, just pure, timeless love captured in its most honest form.

Against the rustic wood, the soft light, and all the character the barn holds… black and white photos tell a story that feels both nostalgic and forever. 📷 ap Photo & Film

There's something truly magical about a prayer, a first look, or your private vows.

That quiet moment—just the two of you, before the day begins to whirl. The nerves, the excitement, the deep breath you didn't realize you were holding—finally released the second you see each other.

It's more than just a photo opportunity. It's a pause in the timeline. A chance to be fully present. To laugh, to cry, to soak it all in together before saying "I do." 📷 Ap photo + film

At The Old 56, we know your wedding day wouldn’t feel complete without every member of your family there… including the four-legged ones 🤍

Angela & Camden said “I do” at The Old 56 and it was absolutely beautiful. We loved being part of their special day! 📷 Ap photo + film

The official start of wedding season has arrived. With Angela and Camden's wedding week, we are thrilled to celebrate their love at The Old 56. Here is their love story.....

We may not have the “cutest” beginning — we met online — but God clearly had a plan. From the moment we started talking, we connected instantly and began FaceTiming every night, even though we lived two hours apart. After two weeks, we finally met in person and knew right away that we had found our person.
Since that day, we’ve continued our nightly FaceTime calls (yes, every single night!) and have only fallen more in love with each other. The Lord knew exactly what He was doing when He brought us together. God is so good, and we feel incredibly blessed to be walking through life side by.

We added a beautiful settee to the barn, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! Featuring my adorable granddaughter here, who clearly approves.
