Sarah & Drew | Romantic, Elegant Wedding at Bay Pointe Woods

Take my hand. Take my whole life, too.

I'm so, so, SO excited to share these photos. This was such a beautiful and romantic wedding, giving all the chic vibes and a classic feel, with timeless white floral themes throughout. We had perfect cloud coverage nearly all day, aside from a couple of very short-lived rain showers, and those clouds gave us soft, filtered light that made these some of the prettiest photos I've ever taken. The champagne and navy color palette paired with their simple yet elegant details tied it all together, perfectly.

I always spend more time with the girls, while Scott hangs out with the guys. This is especially true during the beginning of the day while the bride and groom are separated and everyone is getting ready. And let me tell you, Sarah is someone that you just naturally gravitate towards. She's so friendly and personable, laughs a lot, doesn't take herself too seriously, and is just plain fun to be around. Seriously, can we hang out again sometime when you're not paying me?

And the bridesmaids....the bridesmaids. Okay, I've been doing this job for several years now. I've worked with a ton of fun groups, captured literally thousands of amazing moments from bridal parties, and laughed until I cried with some of them. But this group was WILD. And I loved every minute of it! It was a non-stop hype train and it was the best thing ever. Not only was it just fun and hilarious to witness, but it made for some really fun portraits of the bridesmaids in action, as well as the bride's reaction to it all. I was in tears, y'all. This group will be tough to beat.

There was a lot to love about this wedding. From the college sweethearts turned newlyweds, to the wild girl gang of bridesmaids, to the romantic ceremony set up, to the elegant reception and epic party afterwards...this one was one for the books.

Family: please go here for the formal family portraits taken after the ceremony. The password is the bride & groom's last name.
