When Natalie and Sam moved their wedding up last October, it was out of the deepest kind of love—a desire to ensure that the people who made them who they are could be fully present and witness them say “I do.” That fall day was filled with quiet joy and emotional moments, a beautiful reflection of their commitment not just to each other, but to their families and what matters most.

This spring, they finally got the chance to gather with all of their loved ones and celebrate their marriage surrounded by laughter, dancing, and so much joy. Their reception party was exactly what it should be: a joyful continuation of the story they began writing together last year. Sam and Natalie’s love is both steady and full of spark—so evident in the way they light each other up in a crowd. Watching them fully soak in the celebration they so deeply deserve was an absolute honor. Their reception was more than a party—it was a reflection of resilience, joy, and the kind of love that celebrates in every season.

Natalie and Sam,

Thank you for letting me be a part of this chapter, too. Here’s to a lifetime of dancing, together. I hope these images forever remind you of all that you’ve overcome to get to these moments of celebration, and that when you look at them you can feel the love from each of your families that has gotten you to where you are. I will forever be cheering you on!
