The weather was finally gorgeous again on Saturday, July 28, and after nearly 2 months of photographing weddings through heat advisory, it was a welcome “break.” Of course, I use the term “break” very, very loosely.
Sam + Jacob were great sports throughout the day, and Sam told me many times throughout the course of all the wedding festivities that I could do with them whatever I wanted for photos, and to pull them aside any time I thought the light or atmosphere was good. This also included them missing the anniversary dance. Oops! (And sorry to Ryan for that one!) Their wedding party was SO fun, wild, and rambunctious. I could tell you many, many funny stories, and these blog photos had to be edited down some from what all I originally wanted to show. Ha!
Leave a comment below for Sam + Jacob, and after 50 comments, they will receive a complimentary 10×15″ mounted print of their choice!

The bride and groom are a nice looking couple together. I do wish them well. Angie it was nice of you to share the pictures with me. I often think about you and also am in awe of you and your daughter. She is also very pretty. Tell me something where is your son at, send me a picture of him on facebook please. It has been a long while since I have seen him as a baby.Time just slides by and we only have our memories to rely on. Love you – @[100001993554657:2048:Anne Endres]
