Sarah + Michael : Wedding Part 1

February 22, 2011 by Jensey 21 Comments

Ever since Sarah and Michael’s engagement session at the St. Pete Time’s Forum, we knew their wedding day was gonna be amazing.

Just some of the reasons I’m obsessed with these two :

– Michael popped the question to Sarah at Steak n’ Shake, where they first met.

– They have an adorable pug, Lugnut, who is just as loved as Huckleberry. And that’s saying a lot.

– They were married 10-10-10.

– Did I mention part of our engagement session with them was on ice?!

– I quickly fell in love with their event planner, Jamie Morton. Not only was she “good friends” with Snow White back in the day at Walt Disney World, but she had the sweetest, calmest demeanor all day. Yes, much like Snow White, herself! Everyone fed off of her energy, every detail was perfect, and everything ran on time. On top of it all, she was assisted by her sweet mother, who was equally wonderful. We’re so excited to recommend them to our brides in the future!

– I LOVE THEIR BRIDAL PARTY. There, I said it! Within minutes of me publishing their wedding preview photos, Sarah, Michael, their moms, and bridesmaids were flooding our blog and Facebook with comments. I usually get excited if just the bride comments on her blog post, but an entire bridal party? Yes, please!

Scary!

All of our “First Look” couples hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, guys. <3

CHAMPION “FACE SNUGGLERS”! :)

FAVORITE!

Oh yeah, Sarah’s mom is a fellow photographer… We even caught her snooping through our lenses during the group photos!

Probably my favorite wedding detail, ever… Their huppah was made with patches decorated by their wedding guests. After the wedding, it became a keepsake quilt. So perfect. :)

Their ceremony was held at the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida.

Their rabbi was the best officiant we’ve ever seen – If you’re looking for a rabbi to officiate your ceremony in Florida, let us know and we’ll send you his info!

Part Two is up next! :)

    Dang it, my arm was in a photo, you could have done better…..
    The whole day was awesome and the photogs were amazing. It was fun to steal an angle here and there and they even came out, I was excited.
    The type of people these two are puts “amazing” to shame. The people these two know, now that’s amazing!
    I love looking at these photos, they are wonderful.
