ready to say, "I do!"

Samantha eagerly awaited her turn to walk down the aisle!
Her energy and excitement was infectious...everyone else was excited too!



The girls all walked aisle barefoot...a personal touch for this special event (they each painted their toes a pale pink to match their super cute dresses).

A quick walk back up the aisle and...
Mr. & Mrs. Paul and Samantha Raye!

As photographers we get to spend a lot of time with the bride before her walk down the aisle toward her future husband...and we have yet to see a bride as excited as Samantha. Watching her peek through the window at the cars arriving, and trying o sneak a peek of Paul in the church was as endearing as it gets. Samantha put a lot of personal energy, planning and preparation into this event, and along with the help of her mom and some close family friends, they were able to pull it all off without a hitch! It was so great to see all of their plans fall into place at one time. 

Samantha and Paul had a very sweet ceremony that included the people most important in their lives. As with the rest of the event, it fit perfectly with the couple.  We were so happy to see Samantha's face light up after that walk back up the aisle, when it began to sink in that she was finally married and ready to enjoy the party she had been planning for so long as "Mrs. Raye."

Stay tuned for pics from the reception soon!
