Sara and Matt's wedding day was perfect. From a rainy, cool morning to a glorious fall sunset, nothing was out of place. You will soon see that these people have the very best friends, who stood with them and cried during the ceremony (don’t worry, I won’t name names!) and danced hard at the end of the night to all the best party songs! Also, I could go ON AND ON about Sara & Matt’s parents! SO kind, and I seriously wanted to adopt them as my own extra guardians or something. ;)


Sticks was the perfect venue for a fall wedding. Sara said they picked it due to the trees and nature all around. It really is stunning, and I’m so thankful to have been able to shoot another gorgeous wedding there! Make sure to get a cup of coffee— this blog post is long but I just couldn’t pick one or two photos to share!
