if I had my choice I couldn’t have planned it better than this
it doesn’t get better than this”

I remember talking with brendan and jen right after they got engaged about 18 months ago saying how even though april 2, 2016 felt sooooo far away at that point, that i knew it would sneak up on all of us. and sure enough, i can’t believe how fast time flew by! they were married in the charming little town of amelia island, about 30 minutes north of jacksonville florida. you can tell how loved these two are, because ALL of their favorite people showed up for them! they knew it was an event not to be missed :) the weather was gorgeous, and the ritz carlton in amelia island set the perfect scene for their day! jen and brendan, thanks so much for letting sarah and i play a small part in your day. it was an honor to celebrate with you both! xo!
when sarah and i were scoping things out we stumbled across this hallway and i knew it would be perfect for some bridal portraits of jen! these are some of my favorite shots from their day!
jen, you are the most stunning bride!
love the look on his face as he can hear her coming :) 
jen had the most gorgeous veil, unfortunately the wind was just a little bit stronger than the clip in her hair and it didn’t stay put for long. 
does it get any better than this?! such a dream!
remember this handsome little ring bearer?? i’ve gotten to photograph benjamin and his little brother harrison for the past three years! he’s the cutest :)
look who else made a special appearance! their dog zoe was an additional “flower girl”, and even had her own fancy dress ;) 
while i was inside photographing the reception space, sarah grabbed these two photos of these super sweet cousins :)
my favorite shot from their first dance!
she and her dad danced for a few seconds, then pulled out the football instead! her dad gave a toast and said “i’ve danced with her a half-dozen times in her life, but i’ve tossed a football with her thousands of times!” 
brian was quick to share with the crowd how brendan’s secret identity was actually indiana jones… complete with his hat, of course! ;) 
WHEW this girl can sing!! she stole the mic and stole the show! 
another favorite :) these two know how to throw a great party!
i hope you guys are having the best time on your honeymoon!! congratulations again! :)
