Oh man…I have so many things I want to say about these two and their amazing, perfect wedding. Where do I even start? When I met Sarah and Dan a month or so ago at their engagement session…I instantly fell in love with them. I knew I would because Sarah and I had been virtual friends for some time now. But getting the chance to see them together just made so abundantly clear what I already knew…they were perfect for each other. Sarah is so thoughtful and kind…always making sure the people around her are happy. Which is the perfect compliment to Dan. Because he’s the one who makes sure she is happy. And when you see them together…you just get that feeling that they are right where they are supposed to be. Side by side…forever.
I honestly don’t think you could have dreamt up a more perfect wedding for a more perfect couple. The snow fell soft and peacefully all day long. Never too hard…but just enough to make the whole day picture perfect. From Sarah’s INCREDIBLE dress to the candlelit ceremony to every little detail so thoughtfully placed. It was a day that wedding dreams are made of. And a day that I will forever be so grateful to have been a part of. Sarah and Dan…I love you guys so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me be there to document such a magical day. You guys are truly special and I am so grateful that I got the chance to get to know you. If I’m ever in Texas you better believe I’m looking you up. And Sarah…I’m not kidding about you accessorizing my wedding. I’ll be in touch. 😉
**Warning…this wedding was pretty spectacular so there are a LOT of photos coming your way. :)**

THIS IS AMAZING STUFF FRIEND. I was oohing and aaahing over every image!
LOVE her dress and that sparkler exit was perfection! <3 <3 <3
Just magical! Love the photos in the snow, especially with the cape — just awesome. Don’t know how you managed as I would have been shivering so much the camera would not have been able to focus 🙂
Sarah, BEAUTIFUL pictures! I was smiling all the way through.
Your dress, your smile, your wedding party, venue, snow, table decorations were perfect – and YOUR HUSBAND!!!! Loved the pictures by the stone fireplace.
My daughter is getting married this coming Sept.14 at Becker’s Farm – same farm setting. They will be overlooking a vineyard. I might have to ask you some questions!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Sarah and Dan, These photos are stunning! I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be a part of your special day. Everything looks so perfect. Including the snow 🙂 xoxo Sara
Should not have missed this one! The first look, the snow!… perfection
