Dear Sam & Chelsea.
I know it’s been months since your wedding happened. But I love these pictures. I love that I’ve known Sam for nearly 20 years. I love that Chelsea is a poet— not just in heart, but in art, too. I love that you chose me to shoot your wedding. I love how happy you both were all day long. Thanks for letting me rejoice with you.
Much love, Sarah

What a beautiful wedding! These photos are more than stunning– they really share a narrative.
Sarah, thank you for telling the story of Chelsea and Sam’s love for each other through your images. It is a beautiful story- timeless and captured in perfection. These images provide a transport back to that day- to relive, to celebrate and to experience once again a divine perfectness that we were able to hold only for a second but are now enabled to experience for a lifetime through your work. Eternal thanks.
Fantastic photos to capture a truly wonderful celebration. Congratulations and god bless this amazing couple.
Such awesome pictures!!!! Cutest couple in the world!!!!!!!!!!!
These pictures are absolutely amazing! Love them
Wow, absolutely the most beautiful modern wedding photos I have ever seen!
In August it will be a year, correct? Wow! When I arrived at Carters Salon with flowers for the wedding and saw Beautiful Chelsea smiling from ear to ear, with her beautiful attendants busy but having fun, and Sarah hung that beautiful wedding dress from the lamppost, to take that lovely photograph, I thought something magical was going to happen and I felt privileged to be a part of it all. The day continued to be magical with a very lovely wedding ceremony where my wonderful son stood up with Sam and Chelsea and charged them to hold onto to these vows, cherishing each other. . . and then the lovely tea,coffee and scones fellowship time with inviting, card catalog seat reservations . . . could there be more, yes and yes! The beautiful photos Sarah took say it all. Very special day for two very special people. Thanks for letting me be a part of your lovely day! God bless you on your anniversary!
wow!
These photos capture the beautiful fun personalities of the couple!! Love them and love Chels and Sam!!
I can’t believe almost a year ago Sam, one of my dearest friends, married the love of his life, Chelsea! I am so honored to have been included in this beautiful day and am glad it has been capture and frozen within these gorgeous photos. You two are the portrait of what God intends when He crafts people for each other. Every time I look at you and at these pictures, my heart is warmed and filled with joy. Sarah, you have a great gift and a marvelous eye for beauty!
