From one of my favorite engagement shoots and one of my favorite couples, I knew that this would be an amazing wedding! Sarah and Noah had their engagement session up in Ramona, and if you don’t remember the ridiculously cute pictures of these two, click here and check those out first! Their wedding was down at The Handlery Hotel and Resort in San Diego and it could not have been a more beautiful day. The details were well paid attention to, the flowers fresh and bright, the linens covering the tables, and the dishes, glasses and silverware all perfectly placed. Though, what made this day so incredible was not any of these things. The love that these two share is what made everything so joyful and wonderful to be apart of. The kind of wedding that you couldn’t help, but tear up at!
Throughout the day, there were so many moments. These emotion filled moments almost tangible, that you felt like you could almost grab them in your hands when one appeared. Well I have the honor of that being my job. I would love to share those moments with all of you.

The beautiful flowers were from Tammy at Bloomin Island Flowers. They made an awesomely colorful backdrop for a few sweet ring shots.




This moment of Sarah felt really special. You could see the anticipation in her eyes as all of her bridesmaids lent a hand to get the veil just right.

One of my favorites from the day.







A huge shout out to Jeremy Young for shooting this wedding with me! Having two shooters there on that once in a lifetime day provides the opportunity to capture both of their faces the moment they first see each other. Noah’s face here tells such a story!









Sarah had her shoes died to match the pink in the bridesmaid’s dresses. Pink shoes = tons of shoe shots!





This is the winner in my list for the day. I LOVE this image! They’re a good lookin’ smoochin’ couple ;)

Ahhh!!! I was so excited to shoot this image and I was thinking about it the whole day!!! At their engagement session, we pulled off the pitch-fork image, then did it again on their wedding day (Of course on their wedding day we didn’t have the pitch-fork. That would have been weird to walk through the hotel lobby with). In the video slideshow, these two images dissolve perfectly from one to the other!

Super cute! If you want a bit more of the story behind this image, click here (it’s adorable).





Uhhh, yeah. If I can get a shot of the bride with a Bud Light in her hand, consider that a winner! This is Sarah and her brother enjoying some tasty refreshments ;)





Their first dance was to a song called “I like to be with me, when I’m with you” by Drew Holcomb and it is officially one of my new favorite songs! It’s folky and it’s crazy cute!






Once the dancing got started, the party kicked off in high gear! Stay tuned for breakdancing awesomeness!!!



BAM!!! Check this out! Two of Sarah’s co-workers busted out some insane breakdancing moves!




High five to Jeremy for slipping me into a shot. I feel like I need to pull a cameo appearance in all my weddings from here on out. Maybe even sneakier next time, like a Where’s Waldo of wedding photos!

I loved their bookmarks that they had made for their day. I slipped outside during the craziness and snapped a few late night ring shots.


Thank you for stopping by to view Sarah and Noah’s amazing wedding! I had so much fun with them and I can tell that they have a very long and happy life ahead of them!
