Highland Gardens
Karoline and Sam’s wedding at Highland Gardens in American Fork, Utah, was nothing short of magical. Highland Gardens (@highlandgardensevents) is a venue that perfectly blends a romantic, garden-like atmosphere with cozy indoor spaces, making it a dream location for their special day. But before we dive into the wedding details, let me share a little about their love story—because it’s a good one!
How Karoline and Sam Met
Karoline and Sam originally met on the dating app Hinge. Neither of them was taking the app too seriously at first, but once they started talking, they quickly realized how much they had in common. Their connection was undeniable, and after chatting for about a week, they couldn’t wait to meet in person. Their first hangout turned into hours of deep conversation until 2 a.m. That was on a Sunday, and by Tuesday—just two days later—they were officially dating.
A Love That Grew Stronger
Things moved quickly for Karoline and Sam, and after dating for a month, they decided to take a step back to be sure of what they wanted. That month apart only confirmed what they already knew: they were meant to be together. Once they reunited, their love grew even stronger, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
The Proposal at Silver Lake
Sam’s proposal was just as thoughtful as their love story. Karoline’s mom and sister asked her to help with photos for her sister’s missionary announcement. After snapping pictures at various spots, they made their way to Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon. There, by the picturesque lake, Sam had the perfect proposal set up. It was a moment straight out of a fairytale and a memory they’ll cherish forever.
Wedding Day Highlights
Fast forward to their wedding day, which was filled with so much love and joy. Karoline looked absolutely radiant in her dress from Pritchett Bridal (@pritchettbridal). The gown was stunning and perfectly suited her timeless beauty. Sam complemented her perfectly in his classic tux from J.Crew (@jcrew).
The Venue: Highland Gardens
Highland Gardens provided the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and reception. The lush greenery, beautiful florals, and soft natural light made every moment feel intimate and special. Speaking of florals, the arrangements added such a romantic touch to the venue—a perfect complement to the love in the air.
A Reception to Remember
The reception was a true celebration. Guests enjoyed delicious food from Bacana Grills (@bacanagrills), and the energy on the dance floor was electric thanks to DJ Gui (@dj_gui_). The cake from Dulzura Del Amor (@dulzuradelamor) was not only a showstopper visually but also a hit with everyone who tried it. It was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable day.
A Love Story to Celebrate
Karoline and Sam’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of their love—full of connection, laughter, and unforgettable moments. It was such an honor to capture their day and to witness a love story as genuine and heartfelt as theirs. Congratulations, Karoline and Sam! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and adventure together.
