I’ve been looking forward to Sam and Brad’s big day ever since I spent time with them at their engagement session last year. It was then that I learned of their story 1o years in the making. Janae and I had the pleasure of witnessing them proclaim their love in front of friends and family at Lakewood Country Club this weekend. All of our prayers came true and the crazy winter like weather dissipated and left us with warm blue skies!
This was my first time photographing at the club and I loved the richly decorated clubhouse and well-kept greens with weeping willows and sleepy ponds. I love thinking of how when Sam and Brad get older they might become members of the club and always have an easy and beautiful place to remember how their grand story started! Thank you, Samantha and Bradley, for welcoming me into your lives! – Ryan
