Fun and Energetic Summer Wedding at Oakwood Resort

February 7, 2026

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Bender! Sami and Calvin had the most fun and energetic summer wedding I’ve witnessed in a long time! They hosted their celebration at Oakwood Resort in Syracuse and it couldn’t have been any sweeter!

I actually know Sami from my old church in Fort Wayne! I was facilitating the young adult group when Sami and her friend Kaitlyn joined! We became friends quickly, and a couple years later she asked me about wedding photo packages! A year(ish) later, here we are! Sami and Calvin are so perfect for each other and it was such an honor to photograph the biggest day of their lives for them! Two things stood out to me: they are so in love, and they know how to throw a good party! Their dance floor was hopping!

Thanks to the following vendors who made Sami and Calvin’s fun and energetic summer wedding an unforgettable experience:
