I’m just going to start by saying it–yes, it rained on Bryan + Samantha’s wedding day. And while it rained the whole day, I’m not at all afraid of acknowledging it because personally, I think it was one of the BEST parts about their wedding day. Not only did it allow for me to take some of the best images I have ever taken, but the constant pitter patter outside the windows made for the most romantic + peaceful backdrop to a day that will simply, take your breath away.
Everyone gathered together under the original wooden beamed ceilings of the old farmhouse to help Samantha + Bryan prepare to see one another for the first time + make their way to the altar to become husband + wife. They each shared quiet moments of reflection on the iconic white porches of the home that will forever make me feel like I am in the south. The details that Samantha so carefully chose popped with gorgeous tones of pinks + gold. And as they said yes to forever under the flower infused chandeliers hanging from the barn ceiling, all sat a little bit closer + shed tears of joy + happiness. There were so many moments I will not forget.
Samantha, you were one of the most stunning brides I have ever seen + it is quite obvious that you took Bryan’s breath away the moment he laid eyes on you. Thank you for trusting us to captures the details + experiences of your day that were so beautifully + meticulously crafted from your heart. I want to tell you, from one photographer to another, that your wedding day has inspired me + ignited in me a greater passion for this blessing of a career we share. I am a better creative because of it–that I KNOW–and I thank you for that : ) Caleb + I feel so fortunate to have met you + Bryan + we cannot wait to continue this friendship for years to come!!
