Sam & Logan's Wedding Day

Dog kisses for the Mr. & Mrs./ Northwest Indiana wedding Photographers/ Linton, IndianaSpecial kisses for the bride and groom on their wedding day.

Once upon a time...... 2 people fell in love and the journey began.

I remember the night Sam contacted me.

Yes, we had a conversation at 2:00 in the morning. 

I was away at a very special kids camp shooting the activities of some amazing foster kids

and was winding down from a long day with my best friend and fellow photographer.

I will always say God works in mysterious ways and provides us with the most perfect clients!!

What I didn't know then was Sam is a nurse and probably winding down also.

After 2 weeks of a hospital stay and then losing my dad, 

I have a new love and respect for anyone who can do what she does!!!

We meet about 2 months later and Harry and I loved them from the first meeting.

The love in their eyes was unmatchable!

They told us about their wedding ideas, then the excitement became ours!

There was not a detail that was forgotten.

An outside wedding at property that belonged to the groom's  grandma.

The memories to be had where soon to be perfect no matter the glitches!

When you have an outside wedding the weather plays a big part and let me tell you it was not nice to us!

The rain fell in the morning

and the hot temperature could have made for a very miserable day 

but watching the guests and the family

no one cared and the party was about to happen!

The smiles were every where and the day was perfect in every way!

The stress of planning was about to disappear.

The ladies were there as I arrived and the atmosphere around was fun!

Time to get ready Sam!

The girls did something I have never seen before and I loved it in so many ways!

They all wrote her a letter.

A keep sake for her to hold and to know how much they loved her!

This old truck seems so fitting for the last picture.

I'm sure in its prime

it could tell of the many places that it had been

and the many stories of journeys it has taken.

I pray that as you both start the journey together

that the stories are many and the memories of LOVE and LAUGHTER last a life time!

Congratulation Sam and Logan!
