Sam & Mike’s Cozy December Wedding at Fern Hill Barn


Sam and Mike’s December wedding at Fern Hill Barn was the definition of a cozy winter celebration, centered around family and close connections. From the start, it was clear how important it was to them to have the people they love most involved throughout the day.


Family played a big role in their wedding, with nieces and nephews included alongside their baby, making the celebration feel especially personal and meaningful. Their ceremony was followed by family and wedding party photos, giving them time to slow down and document those relationships before the evening really got going.


Later in the night, we stepped over to the greenhouse for nighttime winter portraits. It was completely dark outside, which gave those photos a moody, winter feel that fit the season perfectly and added something unique to their gallery.


The rest of the evening was spent celebrating with family and friends, enjoying the warmth of the barn and the energy of being together on a winter night. Sam and Mike’s wedding was a great reminder of how special December weddings can feel when the focus is on connection and time together.


Sam and Mike, thank you for trusting Hemlock & Birch Studios to photograph your wedding at Fern Hill Barn. We loved being part of such a meaningful celebration.
