It’s hard to even know where to start blog posts like this. Matt and Sarah have one of the most unique and beautiful relationships I have ever seen. Their love for each other radiates – I’ve never seen so much JOY on a wedding day! Everyone involved was so happy and so blessed by this beautiful union that was about to take place.

I absolutely LOVED Sarah’s gorgeous bouquet! Her bridesmaids put all the flowers together the night before – didn’t they do an amazing job?

We snuck away for 10 minutes after dinner for a few more portraits during golden hour – and it was SO worth it!! These are my very favorite shots from the entire day and I’m so glad we took the time to grab some while the sun was perfect. I just love these moments between the two of them.
