When Matt and I moved to Charlotte two years ago we wanted to get plugged right in to a local church and join a bible study. When we did, we met our dear friends John and Bethany who were our group leaders. In the fall of 2012 we went to a corn maze with a group of friends and that’s when we met John’s younger brother Sam, who plays guitar at our church and works with his brother doing custom fabrications. A year later we met his girlfriend Stephanie and I instantly loved her and them together. Stephanie is a pastry chef and is extremely classy, full of compassion and grace. They complement each other so well and you can tell that they are perfect for one another.

Sam and Stephanie met through our church in a bible study and it was pretty much love at first site. Part of their first date was spent at Summit Coffee in the cute little town of Davidson right outside of Charlotte. Coffee is something that both Sam and Stephanie love so it was fitting that he would propose to her there and it would also be where we would begin their engagement session. These two are so incredibly cute together. I love the way they look at each other, you can truly see their chemistry. They were a dream to photograph and we cannot wait for their fall wedding at Beaver Dam!

After Summit Coffee we walked around Davidson and ended up at Davidson College; an extremely beautiful campus full of lush green trees and brick buildings.

Stephanie you are gorgeous!!

They love playing checkers together even though Sam usually wins, like he did here.
