I met Austin and Sammie a few years ago and I instantly fell in love with their personalities and their effortless ability to make people laugh. When Sammie asked me to be her wedding photographer, I was dancing around my office because I was so excited! Austin and Sammie both attended Arizona State University and they were introduced through a mutual friend. During Austin’s freshman year, he confided in a girl friend that he was “done with the dating world and was ready to find a wife.” Fast forward to Sophomore year, Sammie confided in that same friend that she was “done with dating and she was ready to find a husband.” A light bulb went off and they were quickly introduced. The two have been inseparable ever since! Austin and Sammie LOVE the Arizona Sun Devils and it was so fun to see how they incorporated their alma mater throughout their entire wedding day. From their colors, cake, and music, these two made sure to show tribute their school that was the foundation of their love story. This was my first wedding after my maternity leave (and of 2016) and I could not have asked for a sweeter couple to kick of the year with. Congrats Austin and Sammie!
