We could not have asked for a more perfect, summer day for Samantha and Ron’s wedding. The weather was gorgeous and the sunlight was so beautiful, but my favorite part was the love shared between Samantha and Ron! It was clear from the moment we did their first look to the good-byes at the end of the night that they adore each other and couldn’t wait to start their new life together as husband and wife.

Samantha looked stunning in her dress and her beautiful back necklace was the perfect finishing touch to show off her amazing figure and accentuate her beautiful gown. Their vows were unique and personal, and had me laughing more than once.

Nothing makes me smiles more than when I see the couples personality come through. I saw it all day long with Samantha and Ron. From their vows and all the beautiful colors she used, to the relationships they had with their bridesmaids and groomsman, you could feel the unique touches in everything they planned. When it was time for the father-daughter dance, Samantha and her father donned their White Sox apparel and sang a rousing rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” that had everyone joining in on the fun.

One of my favorite parts of weddings are the toasts to the new couple. I love to hear the stories, the memories and the antics from the past. I love listening to the love shared and the best wishes for a wonderful future together. I love hearing about how the couple met and some of their love story. It usually has me in tears more than once and keeps me laughing all the way through. Samantha and Ron’s toasts were beautiful, heartfelt and funny, I loved learning more about them.

The evening ended with a live band who were amazing and had everyone out of their seats. I’m sure the party lasted well into the night and I’m sure everyone had a fabulous time. I’m so blessed that I get to witness this kind of love over and over again.

Samantha and Ron,

Thank you for the honor of capturing your wedding day. I wish you all the best in your new life together as husband and wife. I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon in France and that you enjoy this special time together. May you have many beautiful years together and always remember the way you felt today.
