It was a true fairytale day for Samantha and Charles. With a love story that starts in middle school, their wedding culminated into a beautiful celebration of a foundation of love has seen them through many seasons of life, and joined together two families who share a sweet friendship of years spent together.

These two have a fun, joyful best friends kind of love that extended into every element of their day. The friends and family that surrounded them are some of the kindest people I’ve met – welcoming us in, helping us and extending hospitality at every turn.

I was thrilled to hear that Betsy of IndyGigz was their planner, and she exceeded every expectation by turning Samantha’s vision into a breathtaking reality. From the overflowing greenery to the hanging floral installations and drapery, the Biltwell was transformed into a romantic, elegant stage right out of the page of a fairytale. Each element was delicate and personal – from the gold wax seals with the couples initials on each menu to the handmade macaroons from Samantha’s best friend’s bakery, to the private vows Samantha and Charles shared with each other before the ceremony – it was a day filled with emotional and special moments.

My favorite part of the day were the first dances – Samantha was a ballerina and they also had a dance instructor for the dances which made them truly breathtaking. I think I sobbed through the father daughter dance and loved the story it told of their close relationship.

Mr. and Mrs. Price – what a true gift to be present at the beginning of your forever together. I had so much fun with you two and couldn’t be more thrilled for you as you start your married life. You have an incredible support system and a strong foundation to lead you forward and I wish you all the best as you enjoy each new chapter of your love story as husband and wife. This may be my longest blog post ever because your day was too perfect! Enjoy scrolling through my many favorites 🙂
