She emailed me months and months ago with a question about her dress! Sarah’s email said something along the lines of “So, I think I may have a GOLD wedding dress! Will that photograph well?!” Um, YES!!!! I love bold wedding decisions like this! Sarah wanted something that wasn’t super traditional and so she did her own thing and it turned out beautifully!!! I was in love with the look of this this gold wedding gown! The back of it was to die for and the color tied in perfectly to the theme of this evening ballroom wedding. One of my favorite parts of the day was seeing Adam’s reaction to the dress! She knew that there was a slight chance that he may not love this bold move but that wasn’t the case. He flipped out! As soon as he saw her, he was obsessed and in awe.
It was easy to be in awe of Sarah. She was literally flawless on her wedding day! I have so many favorite moments… her dad’s beautiful speech about his favorite memories of the two of them watching sunsets together…. Adam’s reaction to the gold dress… and Sarah’s reaction to Adam surprising her with her PUPPY during the first look!!! She was shocked!!! Not only did Adam surprise Sarah with her dog showing up for some pictures, he also gave her the sweetest book full of things about them and their relationship. Sarah, girl you have found a keeper!!! And Adam, you are one lucky man. Sarah is not only stunning, she’s smart, creative and so much fun to be around. You’ll see what I mean in their images!! Their whole day was filled with big laughs, sweet kisses on the nose and beautiful smiles! I can’t wait for you to see this gorgeous fall wedding with GOLD GALORE!!!! Adam and Sarah, words can’t describe how much we loved being a part of your wedding!! You two are so much fun and we just adore you and your families!!! Enjoy!! xoxo
Ps. We loved working with Shaina and Mike again! These two are amazing!!!!!!! You don’t wanna miss this!! Adam had NO idea that she was wearing GOLD! His reaction in this film is PRICELESS!
These shoes! Stunners!
