Samantha + Brandon { married! }

Samantha and Brandon held their beautiful ceremony and reception at the amazing Cascade Hills Country Club.  It was an intimate ceremony followed by an elegant reception.  The girls had their hair done at Belladonna in Cascade, and then got dressed at the family’s residence.  Samantha wore an immaculate Monique Luo gown and gorgeous plum heels, girls in turquoise, the guys in brown suits.  I loved the unique color scheme, and all the details and planning that went into their event.  They had a perfect day!

They chose to see each other before the ceremony, which I’m always happy about.  Not only does it help the timeline flow and give us more opportunities for photos, it is {hands-down} my favorite part of the day.  I just love these romantic, candid, sweet moments that they get to share, all alone.  Just the two of them. <3

Yay!  I love when a bride is brave enough to lie down across a pile of rocks for a pose.  Always worth it!  :)
