Although Shane and Samantha have been married for three years, they never got the chance to have an actual engagement session or even a real wedding for that matter! Let's just say, they've been busy. Between Shane's overseas tours as a U.S. Marine, {plus dealing with medical issues from a severe wound he sustained} moving, and Samantha's small business, they simply haven't had time for a proper celebration. Having settled down in Texas last year, they decided that 2013 was the year! They were going to renew their vows with a wedding-style ceremony and reception. And the precursor: engagement photos! Since their wedding is beach-themed, they decided that Galveston Island would be their locale. From The Strand to the seawall, they had a great time reveling in their very own engagement session.
Congratulations Shane and Samantha--we're so happy for you.
Romantic, stylish, fun--we love it! Thank you Shane and Sam--for sharing your day with us! Thank you for your military service! Thank you for inspiring us with what marriage is all about!
How about you, dear reader... can you imagine the patience needed to wait like Shane and Samantha did?
