Touched By Photography

I know I’m pretty young and have never been in a relationship, never been on a date or even kissed a boy so I guess you could say I don’t know much about “love”. But when I saw Samantha come to Billy’s baseball games just about every night, and when Billy wore his wedding ring months before their wedding day I knew this couple was truly in love.  The way they talked about each other was amazing, and I have never seen a groom so, so, happy to marry the girl walking down the isle.

Billy & Samantha, I thank you yet again for letting me shoot your engagement photos and attend(as well as shoot a little) of your big day! You are an amazing couple and I know your future will be blessed & bright! Much love, A.
We first started with a picnic setting among the field of wildflowers. They brought some old books to *read* and with the basket Samantha customized added the perfect personalized touch.

I still can’t get over her blue eyes! So gorgeous.

I always have a hard time posing a “hand ring shot” but Samantha & Billy naturally created this pose. What a couple!

Aren’t they a cute couple?!

So Billy bumped her a bit to hard…but they worked it all out.

Pretty much my favorite shot from the entire session.

Such a lovely barn!

And we finished the session with a little romance behind an umbrella Samantha will be using in her wedding!

About a month later Samantha & Billy came back to Michigan from California for their big day.

When I first got there they were just starting to get ready, and not to many photo-moments. So I snuck away and snapped some shots of the reception hall which Samantha & her family so beautifully decorated.

I loved the cake topper and simplicity of the cake…it tasted good too.

Took a little wander around to the ceremony site.

I’m pretty much in love with these umbrellas.

The beautiful bride getting ready!

While Samantha was getting ready, Billy had some guy-time while having a cigar.

The Hitching Post(http://www.hitchingpostevents.com/) was a wonderful venue for a country/rustic chic themed wedding.

While the bride & groom were getting ready(okay, Samantha was getting ready and we made Billy hide in the groom’s room), guests arrived and chatted before the ceremony.

…And petted a pig too. Talk about country!

Samantha wrapped her grandmother’s necklace around her bouquet.

Billy finally gets to see his bride walk down the isle.

Isn’t she a beautiful bride?

It was very, VERY small wedding…but that made it very close and personal – which I thought was lovely.

The Kiss

After the ceremony while group shots were being taken, guests were able to go on a tractor ride!

We may not be the south, but we can have a few cowboys around here!

The first dance

A dance with Samantha was being auctioned off!

A nice kiss after Billy smashed cake in his bride’s face

Billy showing off his dance moves!

And to finish it off with a lovely shot of the beautiful couple!

I decided I should start my blog back up. We’ll see how it goes, and if I can keep up with it. haha. Changes may be made to the lay-out in the near future. I guess we’ll see!

So welcome, and I hope you enjoy the photos to follow.
