Sarah + Jared. Part II. 128 south wedding ceremony and reception in historic wilmington nc.

Sarah is one of those people that just makes you feel good.  She booked my services over the phone, so I didn’t meet her until her wedding day, but I still felt like she was an old friend. When I saw the way she and Jared looked at each other during the ceremony, I teared up and remembered why I love being a wedding photographer.  This job can be very stressful, and it’s  A LOT of work. I have honestly thought about giving it up many times in the past so my weekends would open up to my family.  I was standing at the front of the isle waiting for Sarah to walk out, and the guitarist started playing the most beautiful music, the wind blew a gentle breeze across the river view deck, and then out came this beautiful bride trying really hard to not cry 😉  At that moment, I knew I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to wedding photography.  I am such a sucker for a good love story!!

This was my first wedding back after having my sweet Ella, and she was only 5wks old at the time.  It was so bittersweet because I didn’t want to leave her, but at the same time I was itching to get my camera in my hands.  Sarah and Jared’s love for life and each other filled me with so much inspiration, I enjoyed every moment of their wedding day.  I am so happy with the way their photos turned out, and even edited them in record time.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!!! I hope these photos help you relive your wonderful and very special wedding day!!!  – susie

As always, huge thanks to Trinity for being the best 2nd shooter EVER 🙂
