Jewel & Weston {In His Images Photography}

 

A message from the photographer:

I'm Savannah Hayes, the owner & photographer at In His Image Photography in Grand Forks ND. My passion for photography stems first from my love for the Lord and my desire to capture the uniqueness of His Image in every subject placed before my lens. From the angst and excitement of a graduating senior, to 2 souls commiting their forevers to one another, and around again to the welcoming of new life.

My photography style is clean and simple with the emphasis being on the emotion of the moment captured. Rustic Oaks was a perfectly beautiful venue to work in and photograph- so well maintained with every little details looked after.

Thank you to Rustic Oaks for the opportunity to shoot at your beautiful location, and thank you to future clients/friends for opening your lives to me! :)

-Savannah

warm fuzzies

We received such a kind and special review today!!  It definitely gave me the warm fuzzies...and made me thing "wow do I love my job at Rustic Oaks...!"  I'm honored to share these kind words... 


"The minute we stepped out of our vehicles to tour Rustic Oaks, Adam and I knew that this was the place we were going to become husband and wife. It is a picture perfect venue to host an outdoor, rustic, intimate wedding. Pictures don't even do it justice! We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing day while getting ready in the Inn. The upstairs bridal suite was more than spacious for all the ladies to lounge in for the day. The guys definitely enjoyed their time downstairs in the "man cave" watching TV and shooting pool. Our ceremony was set in the backyard, surrounded by trees and looking out over a serene pond. It was exactly how we wanted to start our married life together. Every one of our wedding guests were entertained during the reception, whether dancing in the barn's loft, relaxing on the barn deck, hanging out by the campfire, playing yard games, taking a stroll down to the river, or just taking in the beautiful scenery everywhere you looked. Last, but not least, Rustic Oaks' owners were more like our family on our wedding day. They were beyond helpful and made every second of our day worry-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience from the first day of planning to the second we drove away as husband and wife. Thank you Rustic Oaks for making our wedding day everything we imagined and more."
