On Saturday, I had the honor and privilege of photographing Samantha and Jake’s Wedding in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. In the same church where her parents married years ago, Samantha floated down the aisle on her father’s arm and into the embrace of her best friend. It was a day unlike any other. A beautifully woven love story and legacy that brought together two families in the spirit of building something bigger together.
Sam looked absolutely radiant in her wedding dress and the florals had all of us dizzy with joy. (Look at those peonies! Ah!) Jake was dapper as ever and I was reminded just how perfect these two are for one another. Ever since their Chicago Engagement Session, I’ve been counting down the days until I got to see these sweethearts again. Their wedding was absolutely incredible and you’re going to fall in love with every single detail and moment. Thank you so much for welcoming Kate and I into your family for the weekend! We were so touched by your generosity and kindness.
Congratulations Samantha & Jake! We hope you are loving Nevis and enjoying every second of your honeymoon!
