Samantha & Brandon
The day of Ace’s wedding started off as a cold and snowy one in Johnstown, PA, but that didn’t stop Samantha and Brandon from having the most beautiful day. Even though the weather was less than ideal, the warmth of their love made everything feel just right.
Family, Laughter, and Tears
One of the things that stood out most about Ace’s wedding was the closeness of Samantha’s family. As a Funeral Director, Samantha has a special bond with her sister, Emily, and when it came time for Emily’s toast, the emotion was real. She could barely hold it together as she shared how much her sister means to her, and it left everyone with tears in their eyes.
There was also a surprise moment when Samantha’s dad showed up in a hearse to take her to the church. It was such a personal and unexpected touch that made the day even more memorable. Before the ceremony, Samantha had a sweet first look with her dad, and it was one of those moments that made everyone stop and take in the beauty of the day.
Perfect Photo Spot at the Johnstown Train Station
After the ceremony, we headed over to the Johnstown Train Station for photos, and let me tell you – we were so thankful it was indoors! It was freezing outside, but the station provided the perfect backdrop for some amazing shots. Samantha, Brandon, and their bridal party braved the cold for some epic photos, and it was so much fun capturing those moments.
Thoughtful Touches at the Reception of an Ace’s Wedding
At the reception, Samantha did something really sweet instead of a traditional bouquet toss. She handed a carnation to every female guest, making sure everyone felt included and special. It was a beautiful gesture that had everyone smiling.
The night was full of dancing, laughter, and a very special moment when grandpa sang “Alvira” with the bride and family. It was such a fun, personal touch that everyone will remember. Before we left, Samantha and Brandon gave us the sweetest handwritten notes, and honestly, I’ll treasure them forever.
Ace’s wedding was everything you could hope for—full of love, family, and memories that will last a lifetime.
