Wedding of the year!!

The time has come! I am blogging about my first wedding as a second shooter and I couldn't be more excited. My dear, dear friends, Sarah and Bryan, were married on New Year's Eve and I was lucky enough to be part of the day. I honestly couldn't say nice enough words about these 2 people. The wedding was perfect and truly reflected the great people that they are. If you were wondering whether or not you can have a beautiful wedding on a budget.. it is very much possible. Then again, everyone might not be as naturally talented as this group of people ;). Sarah and Bryan collected friends and family to sing, dance, read scripture and poetry. It was colorful and creative.. putting broadway to shame ;)

Sarah introduced me to photo editing and lots of other photography tricks. She's amazing and has a wonderful style. Her love for people and life is evident in every photograph.

Bryan and I go way back. We met at DCF while he was in grad school and I was in undergrad. I honestly couldn't think of a more loyal friend. He truly loves his friends as family and he's been there for me in so many ways.

I couldn't imagine a better partner for him than Sarah. They are both smart, engaging, open, humble and believers in community. I seriously just can't say enough!

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day. Of course it's always hard to choose when you have so many. I was in charge of the photo booth guest book during the reception so I don't have many bride/groom photos after the wedding. Still, it was really fun to watch the guests get into the photo booth photos! Definitely a great idea for anyone planning a wedding ;)

Love it! This wedding party had a ton of fun.

ADORE the shoes!
