When we think about Samantha + Justin‘s Traverse City wedding, we think about how much we laughed that day and how much fun we had.

Trust us. You want to be friends with these two.

Samantha + Justin are two of the most genuine people we have ever met, and they both have the most contagious smiles. Laughter always seems to fill the room they are in. They smiled ear to ear the entire day – at least until the daddy-daughter dance. Samantha’s father had everyone dying from his hilarious sense of humor all day, but had everyone crying during his dance with Samantha. There wasn’t a dry eye in the entire place.

Their wedding at the Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City was a perfect representation of who they are as a couple. The ceremony was held outside under a bright yellow tent on a sunny day in July. They were surrounded by loved ones as they were married by their friend.

Our favorite touch was the magician they hired to perform for wedding guests during cocktail hour. He was incredibly entertaining, and he did a wonderful job of involving the guests into his tricks, which made it fun to watch and easy to photograph.

Samantha + Justin, thank you for letting us document your beautiful relationship. We are so happy we met you. Cheers!
