MARRIAGE - Not only a TEAM sport but also behind the commitment and the I Dos… In sickness and in health - as for our Sami and Matt started a bit earlier as they were planning their special day… Sami and Matthew, are LIVING PROOF that commitment it’s more than just a vow, it’s a promise of unwavering support and love.
Marriage, it’s holding each other through the toughest times and celebrating the joys together. THEIRS is the truest of love - not just while being together for about 11 years, but never letting go while navigating ALL the mountains and the valleys altogether.
Without saying much, on why people should not drink and drive - how that affects the lives of people [unfortunately our Sami and Matt were not scathed] as they were victims of an irresponsible under-the-influence driver, they have proven to be the epitome of strength, goodness, and keeping the promises of ALWAYS. 💕
Seeing Sami, walk down the aisle - And, Matt's face as he saw her come down the stairs with her beautiful mom, was one of the most emotional things I have experienced in my career as a photographer. And, their journey while have been working together since booking their day - [ me, showing up in the distance - I just knew how what this must've been! ] Through it all - My job as a photographer and my life as a person will NEVER be the same as this became personal! This day was very PERSONAL!
We celebrated LIFE and the Miracles of healing and the power of LOVE on this wedding day!
Sami an ALL things retro and romantic vibes lover and Matthew - A music-life lover - Their wedding reflected THEM...
First looks held with grandma and her niece... And, lastly with her bridesmaids - Who wore different styles and colored dresses/suits.
I am so grateful this day was celebrated. A true gift to be there on this day!
