Samantha & John | a Downtown Grand Rapids Wedding

Wedding

We kicked off the 2019 Tauri Baum Photography wedding season this weekend and I couldn’t of asked for a better couple to start it off!!

Samantha & John’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful (look at those color tones!) but most importantly, one that was rooted deeply in the Lord. It was such an alluring ceremony put on by John’s uncle, one that allowed you to understand Sam and John as a whole. It was beautiful! Through listening to Samantha and John’s family and friends stand up and share memories they have of them, it reaffirmed me, how perfect they are together. John’s uncle had mentioned when he took them out to dinner one night, he saw how connected they were to each other and I’ve witnessed this as well during the engagement session and on their wedding day! I don’t believe there was a time they weren’t holding hands, kissing, or standing by each other’s side. I already can tell they are going to have a strong, beautiful marriage!

During bride and groom portraits, it started to sprinkle and Sam said to me, the rain sure does love us (we also had rain during their engagement session) and I said, that’s a good thing because I’ve heard rain on your wedding day is good luck 😉

Samantha & John, you’re the kind of couple that makes us love our job. It was an honor to photograph you on your special day, and it was even more of an honor to get to know you as a couple. We’re so grateful to know you and feel truly blessed you chose us to be your wedding photographers! Your grounded spirit and faith was incredible to work with, and we are so excited to see how the Lord blesses your marriage in the future. We hope you enjoy your wedding day preview!! xo
