What a joyous celebration we had this past weekend at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club being able to witness & celebrate Samantha & Billy tie the knot! It was such a beautiful fall wedding nestled in the mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, & the weather could not have been more perfect. Samantha & Billy had guests fly in from all over the United States (I couldn’t even keep track of how many states) while some even came from over seas! It was without a doubt that these two were dearly loved, as they had nearly 200 guests at their wedding celebration. I will never forget the look on Samantha’s face while walking down the aisle to her groom, or the expression on Billy’s mother’s face as she watched her son wait for his Bride. There were so many moments throughout the day that got me teary eyed, I could type out a long list- but I’ll refrain 😉 Aside from the emotional moments, there were also many laughs to be shared, from the best man’s speech about their childhood adventures, to the matron of honor who admitted stalking Billy on Facebook shortly after Billy & Samantha started dating (to make sure she approved of course) just to be weirded out by his username, “Uncle Billy” lol, & the emotional yet comical story that Samantha’s father gave about having a certain kind of love for your daughter. The celebration continued with dinner, drinks (many which were spilled on the dance floor…I think I counted 3, lol) & dancing. This was one joyous celebration that I was so happy & thankful to be a part of, all while doing what I love most. Did I mention that I love my job? 😉
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Handlin! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your special day. I hope you enjoy your honeymoon in Hawaii!
