This was pretty much a perfect day!

I got to photograph Sarah's sister Donelle's wedding last year, so it felt like we were all old friends!  Matt and Sarah are an absolutely adorable couple - and so in love, it was just a joy to be around them ;-) 

I started off the day getting ready with the girls at Sarah's parents' place.

Amber from Luigi Bruni did an awesome job with Sarah's makeupmakeups.jpg

Mike Staff DJs did a great job of keeping the party going - but, is it ever *really* a party until the air guitars come out?  ;-)

Matt + Sarah - you're probably lounging on the beach in Hawaii right about now - hope you are having an incredible time!

To the whole Mayberry/Morawski/Buratto clan - great to see you all again! 

And thanks to the fantastic Laura Davis for keeping everything running so smoothly - wish I could clone you for all my brides!!

Breathtaking! What an BEAUTIFUL bride--I am in love with all of the shots of her alone. And the cat! How adorable is that?! Can I just say I adore the color, lighting & comp of the toast shot? That is just such a serendipitous shot! Keep being amazing.
