Sarah loves Jess. Jess loves Sarah. All the rest of their days shall start off that way.
Sarah is not only a good friend, but a fellow photographer…a really really really ridiculously good photographer…and a High School Science Teacher (so pretty much she’s a Saint). I can truly say, Sarah has never looked more beautiful. Jess has truly made her whole and I suspect she’s done the same for him. I felt like there was so much happiness going on that day, people were just going to start exploding into glitter and sunshine.
The day started off like a true wedding day…SALON TIME WITH THE GIRLS!!! Oh and the Masterful Artists…giving mad props to Mandee Sheeler (a former student of Sarah’s) for the classy updo perfection, and Kat Collett for being intuitive of Sarah’s natural/organic style and finding the perfect balance of facial artistry.
And the suspense…is…awful… Time to see each other for the first time on their wedding day!!!!
AWWW!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!
The wedding is a little more than Sarah & Jess…it’s a blending of two families. I think they are all whole now.
Sarah’s a big fan of Mother Nature…and apparently Mother Nature is a fan of her…gave her the best gift ever….A PERFECT WEATHERED DAY! Seriously, day’s as perfect as this one are so rare.
HAHAHA! Now that’s the Sarah I know. 😉
I’ve always loved Sarah’s style…so of course, her special touches were just amazing. Her dress (which I hadn’t seen before this day) is going down into my DRESS HALL OF FAME! It was all the rave that day…even the gentlemen with the catering staff stopped to tell her that was the most amazing wedding dress they’ve seen.
So many special things happened during their ceremony…the ceremony in which was led by barely legal Ordained Minister (just got her license within just a few days from her 18th Birthday!, haha! Just in time!). They did something I’ve never witnessed before…and ring blessing, where they passed around their rings to each and every guest so they may bless the rings. Love that!
HAHAHA, couldn’t resist adding this one! The look on Jess’s face! <3
A ring shot as a tribute to my beautiful friend photog.
Congratulations Sarah & Jess! Life is Full!
