All day I kept looking over at Amanda, grinning from ear to ear & said "This is entirely too adorable!"  Everything.  Every single part of this day was entirely too adorable.  Sarah & Greg are adorable.  The decor was adorable.  The family was adorable.  Everything. Adorable.  And it all made me so happy.

Greg has this infectious smile, you can’t help but smile with him when your eyes meet.  He’s silly and energetic and hilarious.  Sarah has a calm & kind spirit.  She is incredibly sophisticated.  And together, they make this amazing couple.  I imagine that he will be the one keeping their home light & fun while she maintains their grounding.  A perfect pair.

As her father put it, Sarah & her mother were the "project managers" for the wedding day.  The two of them did not leave a single stone unturned and every detail was there.  So creative and so much fun for me to photograph.  TONS of details.  They even handled all of the florals.  I couldn’t believe it.  They told me they would be at our initial meeting.  And I thought they were crazy.  CRAZY!  But they did such an amazing job and they all still looked sane!

They always say a wedding is not the joining of two people, but the joining of two families.  I don’t think that could be truer than in this marriage.  Greg & Sarah both seem to have such strong bonds to their families.  It was incredibly beautiful to see how affected the families were by this marriage. I hope they all know how lucky they are to be gaining a whole new family.

Sarah & Greg – I am SO incredibly happy for the two of you.  Your wedding was absolutely incredible and I am blessed to have been a part of it.  You two remind me so much of the relationship that Chris & I have, I pray that you have the happiness that we have for always.  I hope Hawaii is being good to you   Congratulations!

The First Look…

The wedding was held at Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton.  It was such a beautiful backdrop for the wedding and I loved that everything was outside.

I squealed when I saw this.  They didn’t date in high school, but they went to Sarahs senior prom together.  How adorable!?

They did an anniversary dance and there were four couples in attendance that had been married for more than fifty years. FOUR!  Gregs grandparents had been married the longest at 57 years.  I find that incredibly inspiring.
