Earlier this year we had a great pleasure of meeting a couple from Ohio, Samantha and Matt, and a few weeks ago we photographed their wedding at LaPlaya resort here in Naples.
Samantha first met Matt before she was even old enough to talk! He went to preschool with her older brother and has been good friends with him ever since. So, they saw a lot of each other growing up, but were never more than just friends. They went their separate ways after high school and were out of touch for several years.
They ran into each other one night after college, but were living in different states at the time. They both felt there might be something between them, so they kept in touch and made sure to get together every time he was in town visiting. About a year later, Matt moved back to town and they met up that same night. They knew immediately that they had something special and have spent every day together since. After several years of dating, Matt surprised Samantha one night with a wonderful homemade dinner and beautiful engagement ring!
They instantly chose Naples as their dream wedding location and spent the next 10 months planning. Entire wedding weekend turned out absolutely perfect.
“We had such an amazing time on the beach with our closest friends and family. It was truly the happiest day of our lives!”
We wish this great couple a very happy marriage!
