Claire & Mike’s Emotional Concorde Banquets Wedding

Clare and Mike first met 20 years ago at church. Sadly, Mike's wife died of cancer in February 2023. After not having seen each other for about a year, Mike asked Claire out in May 2025 and it was an easy "yes" for Claire . . .

Clare and Mike first met 20 years ago at church. Sadly, Mike's wife died of cancer in February 2023. After not having seen each other for about a year, Mike asked Claire out in May 2025 and it was an easy "yes" for Claire. Their dating quickly grew to include Mike's 3 boys (15, 13, 11). Mike proposed to Claire in October at Cooper's Hawk, a place that held special meaning for them while they were dating.

Conrad and Christy were honored to be a part of Claire and Mike’s wedding day and had a wonderful time photographing this beautiful day. Claire and Mike are so sweet together, and the love they share with Mike’s sons is just so special . Claire loves all of them so much and the boys all adore her!

Mike’s boys helped him get ready at The Orchard (where Claire works!) before the ceremony. Their guests were very present and engaged throughout their emotional ceremony, it was an honor to watch them all become a family in the presence of the Lord!

After the ceremony Claire and Mike were surprised with bag pipers who also then stayed for their introductions into their reception at Concorde Banquets. It was a beautiful day and we are so thankful that we had the opportunity to be a part of it!

Congratulations, Claire and Mike, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
