Every wedding is special to us for one reason or another, and I worry I sound like a broken record when I gush about how much fun we had at each of them. So don’t think I’m not being genuine when I start to sound repetitive….cause I’m about to do it right now. Sara and Brad’s wedding are what dreams are made of (from a photographe’rs standpoint). A couple who is madly in love with each other, with a loving and generous family who took care of us throughout the day, and a surprisingly mild September Sunday with tons of clouds making one big softbox over St. George Island so no one was squinting for photos or passing out from the heat. Whew….that was just the beginning too! They hired some awesome vendors to help make their day run smoothly, and we felt like one big team working together.
I’ll try to let the pictures do the talking and I’ll hush now….but just know that we adore you two!

Sara’s mom brought her childhood teddy bear and also the bonnet she came home from the hospital in, which Sara then used as a handkerchief during her ceremony:
I love when we have a chance for the bride to also do a “first look” with her dad. It’s always one of the sweetest moments of the day!
It’s a big Pittsburgh tradition to have a huge cookie display along with the wedding cake, so Brad’s crew didn’t disappoint!
Sara and her brother grew up as gymnasts, including a bunch of their friends. This is what happens when you pair gymnasts and a pool at your wedding reception:
Thanks for an awesome night you guys!
