Working closely with couples, we develop strong connections. And that’s what making films is all about - connection.
To create your film, we start by getting to know you - your interests, your passions, your likes and dislikes. We take the time to learn about what makes you... YOU. This enables us to tell your story, with care and authenticity.
For Love Films was born from a passion for the art of filmmaking, combined with a desire to create connection through storytelling.
And I love nothing more than telling a great love story - and what better love stories are there than weddings? Traditional church weddings, nerdy weddings, backyard weddings, same-sex weddings, elopments, adventurous weddings, in the city or in the sticks … I love them all! Combined with the passion and heart I pour into my work, the films I create are a timeless connection to your wedding day and the beginning of your love story.
We tell YOUR story. Your way. FOR LOVE.

Hey there! My name is Samantha Ritchie and I am the owner of River Valley Designs- A full service floral design studio and gift boutique located just South of Galena in Savanna IL. Specializing in weddings, my team and I(and the dogs) have provided the Galena area with beautiful event blooms for over 7 years. Designing garden style flowers with a touch of whimsy is my jam. I love to create loose, flowing bouquets and arrangements for fun, laid back couples who enjoy the planning process, but are looking for a vendor to put their trust and confidence in.
My favorite part of the bridal process is meeting my couples for the first time. I love creating connections and getting to know them and figuring out how I can make their flowers unique to them. I want to know things like ‘what you do love to do together?’ ‘what did the proposal look like?’ ‘do you have pets?’ all before we dig into the details of the wedding flowers.
Now you know a little about me, I would love to know more about you! Contact me for a free consultation and let's chat about your wedding flowers!

The beginning of a wonderful partnership, solid friendship, and fulfilling business all started when we met working at a local floral shop. Falling literally in love with the flowers and the joy of the wedding/events industry, we both knew that someday we would join forces in floral design. After going our separate ways for a couple of years and keeping in touch, we sensed the timing was right. In 2010, we decided to follow our passion and dreams and HandPickd bloomed!
Since then, we’ve been putting our heart and soul into this company and could not be more thankful and blessed with where we are today. We’re so grateful for the support of family, friends, and clients over the years!
