Samantha and Ross’s wedding day at Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation was picture-perfect from beginning to end! These two are so sweet, and truly have a one-of-a-kind love story, from getting engaged on a mountain in Alaska, to hosting a wedding reception right in the middle of a beautiful forest at the stunning Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation! Their day was seamlessly coordinated by the talented Stephane Cook of The Creative Planners, and with catering from Hearty Boys, videography by Mark of Wynn Films, florals from the Shamrock Garden, and a band like Bluewater Kings, we definitely got to work alongside a team of total rockstars! Samantha grew up at Max McGraw, and always envisioned having her wedding there, from the time she was a little girl. Sammy comes from an incredible family, and her dad’s beautiful legacy lives on, even though he is no longer with them. Samantha and Ross were married on the lake that was named in his honor at Max McGraw, and his memory was felt so strongly throughout the day. Their wedding day ended under the stars as Sammy and Ross danced the night away with their closest family and friends. Marty and I couldn’t have felt happier to capture such a beautiful wedding!
