The Couple
We first met Sam when we photographed her sister Allie’s wedding about a year and a half ago and we loved working with their family! When Sam inquired about us photographing her wedding, we were ecstatic! It means so much to us when a couple entrusts us with documenting their day but when we get to capture two weddings in one family? That makes our hearts feel so incredibly full! Sam and Matt are such a sweet and happy couple and we are so happy for them and their adorable little son. Their wedding last Friday was a wonderful display of love between so many people. Not only between Sam and Matt, but between so many others. The way they care for their son is so sweet to witness, and the love that their families and friends have for them is inspiring in so many ways!
The Wedding Day
Sam and Matt’s bridal party was made up of 18 of their favorite people who were visibly so happy to be a part of their day and I have to say that those turquoise bridesmaids dresses were perfect for a summer wedding! We started the day out at Sam’s and Matt’s family homes before heading to Turkey Swamp Park for their first look and portraits. We loved the moment when Matt saw his bride for the first time that day. As parents, I’m sure they don’t get much time alone and those few minutes they were able to spend with each other were well-deserved. Matt had time to admire his beautiful bride and he couldn’t take his eyes off of her! After photos we headed to St. Robert Bellarmine Church for their ceremony and one of my favorite parts was looking over at Sam and Matt’s son when his mommy was walking down the aisle. Children grow so fast and I love that that he is going to have images of himself as a tiny little guest at his parents’ wedding. Sam and Matt, thank you for inviting us to document this amazing day! We loved being a part of the beginning of your wonderful new adventure!
