Samantha & Mike – How They Met

Samantha and Mike tied the knot in a Classic Villa Siena Wedding with muted pastel hues, elegant details, and the cutest two flower girls you’ve ever seen.  Their love story began as an office romance.  Samantha met Mike in 2011.  They both worked for the same company and had the same boss.  The boss just happened to be  Samantha’s Dad.  If that doesn’t complicate the “dating at work” thing… I am not sure what does.

Mike first noticed Sam for the first time as they passed in the hallway.  He immediately put out the feelers to his “network” asking who she was and her story. With the same circle of friends and co-workers, they would commonly both be at the same happy hours, softball games, and events.  They got to know each other as friends but thought the only thing they had in common was a dry sarcastic sense of humor.  After careful pursuit, a cat and mouse story of playing hard to get, and an obstacle of a VP, he finally got Sam out on an official date.  The night ended with a kiss in the parking lot, and the rest is history.

Samantha and Mike became husband and wife in an Classic Villa Siena Wedding with an outdoor ceremony.  Here are just a few of my favorites from the day!   Enjoy!
