Brock and Samantha had a fantastic Southern Louisiana wedding in March. Brock saw wedding photos that we made of a family friend here in Pensacola nearly 3 years ago and he told his mom that he wanted two things at his wedding….. A crawfish boil, and Rae Leytham Photography. Well, he got both haha. The funny thing about it is that he wasn’t even dating anyone at the time. I’m picturing his first date with Samantha and Brock saying, “Hey Cutie pie, I’m going to marry you one day and we’re having a crawfish boil and Rae Leytham at our wedding.” Samantha is such a good sport! We really enjoyed their whole family and had a great time in Pine Prairie, LA for a couple of days at their wedding. We had never ventured that deep into the heart of Louisiana and it was a treat for us. We attended the rehearsal dinner and those mud bugs were as good as they look. The wedding was full of great treats too like the Crawfish Etouffee’ made by one of LA’s finest competitors and Samantha’s blue candy bar. Brock’s crawfish themed cake was tasty too! 
We DID NOT pick up hitch hikers…. Here are a few wedding highlights. 
This is Brock’s grandmother’s front porch where she and his grandfather used to sit and rock before he passed. I think we made her tear up with this one….
Samantha has Irish heritage, so they had to include a bagpiper…. 
The wedding party broke out their shiny “Grillz” for the reception….
