Samantha and Austin had the wedding of their dreams planned, but the pandemic had other plans. Last-minute, they decided to elope with their closest family and friends and have a reception one year later.
They chose the most beautiful location to have the reception. The Summit Bechtel is soooo beautiful. As you approach the wedding venue, the views are incredible! The venue overlooks the entire property; you can see for miles.
The reception area is a photographer’s dream! When I arrive at any indoor venue that has windows, my heart soars! The entire front of the venue has windows that also have an incredible view. The venue was designed for luxury weddings, and it shows.
Samantha and Austin are so special to me. Not only does Samantha shoot weddings with me, but I was also blessed to grow up with her as my little sister’s best friend. She has the sweetest spirit. The rain didn’t even affect her in the least bit. This was her day, and it was going to be everything that she wanted it to be.
I am so thankful I got to be a part of this beautiful day.
