There’s nothing more precious to me than the opportunity to witness and capture a couple so smitten with one another that when they’re in each other’s presence, it’s as if no one, not another single soul or heart, exists in the world. Sam and Andrew’s love was so captivating and such a reminder of what being consumed by love in mind, body and soul looks like. There were no nerves, just smiles and laughter emitting from the rooms as the guys and girls got ready.

Andrew was left breathless as he turned to see his bride donned in her gorgeous lace and tulle wedding gown. She looked even more beautiful than he could have imagined. The gorgeous beauty of the desert landscape surrounded them at every turn of their Troon North Golf Club wedding, from the boulders above them during their first look, to the cacti and blue skies during their ceremony, and the glowy Arizona light as they stood arm in arm during their portraits at sunset. The smiles throughout the day were endless, along with the giggles, tears and happiness from their families and friends.

Samantha knew that Andrew was someone special from the day they met in grad school and it was so fun to hear about how she sneakily planned for their first ‘meet cute’ with Amy, her best friend and college roommate. I’m so glad that her plan worked perfectly because they truly are a match made in heaven. As their family and friends danced the night away, these two love birds looked on at the people who mean the most to them as they took a quiet moment at their sweetheart table, her head on his shoulder, him kissing her forehead. I’m so happy for these two and excited for what lies ahead as Mr. and Mrs.!

Huge thanks to the creative team that made this Troon North Golf Club Wedding amazing!
