From the moment I met Chelsea & Sam, I felt like I was reconnecting with old friends. I couldn’t stop telling Chelsea how great she looked (because look at her!) — from her hair to their perfectly coordinated outfits — and every single time, Sam would immediately chime in to agree. He had me smiling so big behind my camera because it was like he just couldn’t help but let her know how in awe of her he was. It’s those little moments, the ones we might even forget if put on the spot, that define the foundation of a marriage.

Chelsea & Sam,

Man oh man did I have a blast with you two! I feel so lucky to be a part of your engagement and wedding. I’ve loved getting to know you guys and seeing your smiley faces in front of my camera. I hope these images can serve as a reminder for the kind of marriage you’re building. One that’s strong, rooted, and kind. I can’t wait to celebrate with you at The Dempsey Event Center in May!
