Barks of laughter floated in to the main ballroom, beckoning nostalgia to come out and play.

Samantha and Justin have loved each other for years, but their whole story started back at Notre Dame and their favorite haunt Corby’s Irish Pub. As they look forward to all they will be doing, they looked back at where it all started and it felt like the best way to pull them back to this beuatiful present to duplicate that famous hant at their wedding.

It was from that replica Corby’s Irish Pub at their wedding at North Ridge Country Club was filled with just as much glee over their stories, past, present and future.

It was such an honor to be allowed to not only partake in this joy but capture it for you to always come back to. I am literally teary eyed writing this thinking about what a privilege and trust I was offered to be the one responsible for a visual retelling of your core memory.

Thank you Samantha and Justin for the honor and thank you to every amazing vendor who made it possible for this wonderful celebration of such a colorful love story. I am so glad to have been in the moment today.
