Wedding dates have been changed, canceled, and postponed with the season of life we are in. Sam and Austin are one of those couples. They had to postpone their wedding until the fall. Moving forward they will have a big celebration with all the perfect little details that make the wedding day magical. But for now, they wanted to share their love for one another and be officially husband and wife. It was very private but very special for these two.
These beautiful photos were taken right outside of Samantha and Austin’s private residence. How lucky are they to have this view! You could see the happiness and excitement on their faces. Austin had the biggest grin on his face when he saw his beautiful bride.
Although things didn’t go as they originally planned, it was a sweet celebration. I am so excited as we continue to prep and plan for the big day, I am so thankful that I get to be a part of their wedding.
