Joseph & Sarah: 7.7.07
Joseph & Sarah managed to plan a wedding in California while living in the mid-west. With the help of their families, everything went perfectly.
Here are a few shots from their engagement shoot. We know Sarah from our church in Orange County and know she is an amazing woman. This was the first time we met Joseph and it felt like we had known him our whole life.
Sarah and Joseph share a bond that can only come from within. And they're really blessed to be beautiful people too! When you are around them, you feel like they really care about who you are. You can see the passion this gives them in their marriage as well as the people around them. If you haven't had the privilege of spending time with these two, you can see how they affect people based on their wedding party. They had 7 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, two ring bearers and two junior bridesmaids. It's only fitting for two people who love others more than themselves.
I can't say enough about how much Joseph and Sarah's hearts desire to love those around them. They have a passion for life that comes from a drive to serve and trust God. You can see that in the joy on their faces as they committed to spending their life together as husband and wife.
After their ceremony, we spent a few moments taking some portraits and had a blast. They are so comfortable and confident in who they are as people. Sarah looked stunning and radiant as a beautiful bride and Joseph looked ready to take on the world. He had a smile from ear to ear knowing his amazing fiance was now his wife. He is a man who truly desires to take care of his family.
We had the joy of spending some time with Joseph and Sarah a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun to see how they're doing and continue developing the friendship we started. They were so welcoming and uninhibited in opening their home to us. It was great fun to relax and just spend quality time together. Not to mention, Sarah can cook a pretty mean meal...so we were well fed! We are thankful to know we gained a great gift from photographing their wedding, an amazing relationship with strong roots. Thank you both for allowing us to capture your wedding day and more importantly, for being two amazing people who offer so much to the people around them and ask for nothing in return. It's a rare gift.
