Wedding Ceremony of Samantha & Justin at Wisteria Cottage and barn

Where It All Began

Samantha and Justin met on hinge (a dating app), they both had jeep wranglers which immediately gave them something in command for Justin to message Samantha about and strike up a real conversation. Samantha knew he was someone she wanted to keep talking with right away, in Samantha’s words “he was the only one who didn’t cat call me, in my messages” They put their jeeps to work for two years of driving an hour to see each other until they took the next step in their relationship.

Celebration with engagement shoots of choosing their venue.

” We choose Wisteria Cottage and Barn for our beautiful wedding because it is 20 minutes from home, the decor inventory along with the variety we could not find anywhere else. We live on an 1800’s property and Justin and I live in the 900 sq ft cottage on the property, that reminds us of the bridal cottage, and our home”

The Proposal

Justin proposed in their house

Samantha was on her way home, from another long day at work, when Justin called her and said he hurt himself. While she was rushing home, she was thinking they were going to be spending the evening in the ER, as she entered their home, he had “Will you marry me” on the mantel.

Advise for future couples:

“Do everything early so you can relax!”
” Make the day for you & your spouse NO ONE ELSE!”

First Look, Justin’s reaction is priceless

“Moment most looking forward to on my wedding day is our first look and vow reading.’ -Samantha
