love and family filled

fun, always

When you imagine a wedding filled with laughter, joy, and the kind of love that wraps around everyone present—you’re picturing Billy and Alissa’s special day at The Horse Stamp Inn in Waverly, Georgia. From the moment guests arrived on the lush, sprawling property, it was clear this wasn’t just a wedding. It was a true celebration—a gathering of loved ones who had traveled from near and far to honor a deep, joyful love in a setting that offered all the fun... and then some.

The Horse Stamp Inn, with its southern charm, tall oaks, peaceful pond, and multiple ceremony spots, created the perfect backdrop for a day that felt both timeless and relaxed. There was plenty of room for little ones to run barefoot, while grandparents kicked back and soaked in every special moment.

If you're a country-loving couple, a horse enthusiast, or just looking for a venue that isn't on the beach, let me tell you about this gem. The Horse Stamp Inn is tucked in a quiet corner of Waverly, Georgia—conveniently nestled between St. Simons Island and Jacksonville. With on-site rooms and nearby airport options, it’s a dream spot for hosting out-of-town guests.

Billy and Alissa are the kind of couple who naturally bring people together, and from the start, they made it clear: this day was about family, connection, and joy. Kids played lawn games under the warm afternoon sun, guests shared stories on the porch, and the air buzzed with music, good food, and happy tears. Every detail—from the heartfelt outdoor ceremony to the laid-back, fun-filled reception—reflected the love they share and the life they’re building together.

The Ceremony by the trees

Posed in front of a timeless fountain and the start of a by moss-draped oaks, where horses frolic in the background, Billy and Alissa exchanged vows that felt both sacred and down-to-earth. It was the kind of ceremony that makes you believe in the power of love all over again—personal, heartfelt, and just a little bit playful (especially when Alissa cracked a joke to ease the happy tears). There wasn’t a dry eye—or an unsmiling face -in the crowd as these two best friends, turned loves, turned husband and wife said "I do!"

Cocktail Hour

Cocktail hour at Billy and Alissa’s wedding was anything but ordinary—it was a full-blown experience! Guests were treated to a mix of activities and treats that reflected the couple’s playful, laid-back vibe. There was axe throwing for the adventurous, a photo booth for silly snapshots, and cornhole boards scattered across the lawn for some friendly competition. For the foodies and caffeine lovers, there was a coffee bar and stacks of fluffy pancakes—yes, pancakes!—alongside signature cocktails and refreshing drinks. Whether you were sipping, snacking, laughing, or throwing axes (safely, of course), there was something for everyone to enjoy. It was the kind of cocktail hour people won’t forget—and honestly, no one wanted it to end!

Go Bills!

As the sun dipped low behind the trees, the reception came to life with delicious food, cold drinks, and dancing under the stars. Kids twirled on the lawn, grown-ups kicked off their shoes, and laughter filled the air as everyone celebrated under twinkling lights. The whole evening had this easy, electric energy—unhurried, joyful, and full of love. And just when guests thought it couldn’t get any better, the couple’s Buffalo Bills pride made a surprise appearance! Die-hard fans through and through, Billy and Alissa had a special tribute that included Bills-themed hats for everyone (yes, everyone!), and the dance floor lit up with blue, red, and white as guests celebrated like they’d just won the Super Bowl. It was the kind of night that felt like pure joy from beginning to end.

Candid Moments Over Posed Portraits

Billy and Alissa chose to keep things real when it came to their wedding portraits. Instead of stepping away for a long series of traditional posed shots, they wanted to stay in the moment—with their people. They prioritized time with family and friends, soaking in every bit of the celebration, and asked for a more candid, “on-the-go” style of photography. We captured them laughing with cousins, hugging grandparents, sneaking sweet glances at each other, and dancing barefoot with their favorite buddies. The result? A gallery full of real moments, real emotion, and photos that feel just as joyful and genuine as their wedding day truly was!

Congrats, Billy and Alissa!
