sarah.&.daren
Sarah called me waaay back when and told me that while she wasn’t engaged just yet, she knew of two things for sure! 1. She would soon be engaged and planning a wedding to this awesome man she was in love with and 2. that she wanted me as her photographer! That’s the kind of girl I like!! Sure enough, while on a romantic trip, shortly after our meeting, Sarah & Daren were engaged. We have become great friends over time and through the planning process! They are a terrific couple…they have a mutual adoration for one another and it’s evident in everything they do! You might remember them from their engagement session (which I just realized was almost a year ago!!)…where I heard more people than I could count say, “are her eyes really that color??”. The answer is YES!! While I’m a tiny bit savvy in photoshop, I do NOT change people’s appearances!!
They had a terrific, gorgeous wedding at my home away from home, one of my all time favorite locations, the Omni Severin!!! It was a great day and I was honored to be a part of it!! Sarah & Daren…you know I love you guys and I hope you are enjoying an AWESOME honeymoon!!
***note…sorry to any early readers of this post! I just realized that the writeup about sarah & daren partially vanished somehow and it looked like I just left you all hanging! SORRY about that!!







































Look what I found under a table…trying to hide the lipstick she discovered!! SOO cute!

WOW! More stunning images…
Looks like you have another blue eyed beauty to add to your
collection! And how about that sweet thing under the table?
Wouldn’t it be fun to get a call from her in 20 years to photograph her wedding and then whip that photo out!??
nice work.

Oh my goodness…where do i BEGIN! First of all beautiful wedding! Secondly my ALL TIME favorite picture of yours so far is that 5th picture of her holding her flowers out from her body. That picture is SOOO absolutly beautiful! Wow! Words can’t explain how much i love that photo! Thirdly…I really adore that picture of them downtown with the white horse behind them. That is so adorable!
You did SUCH an amazing job…WOWZERS!!!!
The picture of that little girl looks like something that would be in a lipstick commercial or magazine. SUPER cute girl!!
Last but not least—-their first dance looks like it was very emotional and with so much meaning! I love them Jess—you are STUNNING!
