I really had some stellar couples in 2008 and Samantha and Ryan certainly were no exception. I can’t tell you how much I love this couple! I don’t know what it is about them for sure, but perhaps it is a mixture of how much these two make me laugh (they are seriously hilarious), how wonderfully happy and in love they are, and how perfectly their personalities just “click.” I don’t think that I’ve ever laughed so much with a couple before and am glad that I have the strange ability to still focus (pun intended) when I am cracking up. They were married on a gorgeous September day in downtown Lake Bluff, IL, their hometown, where they met and fell for each other. The whole day had such a great casual, but super classy vibe to it that I won’t ever forget!
I loved Samantha’s gorgeous bouquet!
Sami in the getting ready room…
Beautiful!
I love this casual portrait of Sami… This is so her!
We walked around downtown Lake Bluff and found some cool spots to shoot. These are some of my favorites…
We even made our way to the train station…
A few more favorites…
Samantha is beaming as she slips on Ryan’s ring!
Married!
Some details…
Here is the happy couple in some awesome evening light. I’m so glad that I snagged them away from the reception really fast to catch it.
Thank you so much, Samantha and Ryan, for allowing me to be a part of your day. I was so honored that you chose me as your photographer! I am so happy for you and I wish you the very BEST in your life together.
