Robert & Samantha

Once in a while you cross paths with people who are so infectious with love and joy, you walk away feeling blessed for having met them. That’s Robby & Sam. There’s no doubt in my mind that they’re both loved by the people around them. Robby’s genuine happiness and big smile are seriously contagious, and Sam’s unabandoned kindness will touch your heart. These two are the real deal. Their love for each other resonates between them even in the simple things – a loving smile, a soft touch, an inside joke that leaves creases of laughter on their faces. It was truly a joy to witness.

I woke up at 2:30AM on Friday morning to finish getting everything together for our quick trip to Berkeley, CA and was someone able to drag Brian out of bed in time to get on the road by 4AM. Our drive to Boston was less than pleasant as it was below freezing, dark, and raining. Not my favorite combo. When we finally arrived at the airport we realized that we didn’t even have enough time to get waters or snacks and we ended up practically running to our gate to be the last to board. Arriving in San Francisco exhausted was completely worth it just to feel the warmth and see so much green!! I kept exclaiming, “Look! Flowers!!” That’s when you know you’re from New England, hah!

Our hotel, The Claremont Club & Spa, literally looked like it came out of a magazine. We spent our first hour just staring at all the decor and the amazing views from every window and balcony. It was stunning! We thought we’d seen it all until we started adventuring around the little side streets of Berkeley. Holy moly is Berkeley beautiful!!! I literally couldn’t control my excitement as we walked around pointing out some of my favorite things like Lavender and Wisteria. My heart was singing!

Robby & Sam’s ceremony location at the UC Botanical Garden was INSANE. I couldn’t get over the towering redwoods that surrounded the amphitheater, it literally looked like it came out of a fairytale. But even more beautiful than the location was their ceremony. Complete with a symbolic tree planting, really thoughtful speeches from both sets of parents, and a whole lot of love that they sealed with a kiss.

Robby & Sam, thank you so much for having us!! You’re both incredible people and I have no doubt you’ll touch many lives. It was truly an honor to be a part of your wedding day and we wish you both much happiness, laughter, and adventures!! Congrats you two!!
