Sarah and Justin

Two weeks ago I photographed Justin and Sarah's wedding in Lexa. They are so incredibly cute together. Sarah's Mom told me that Sarah's dream was for the wedding to be just a big day for all her family and friends. I can honestly say that I think she did that. It was so hard for me to narrow down my favorites to do this post. But after choosing and re-choosing, here are my faves:

Sarah arrived all smiles and excited!

Justin and the guys passed the morning with a little football. Justin had the best analogy for how he felt on his wedding day, from a guy's point of view. All you grooms will get this! He said it was like Friday Night Football and all the excitement and adrenaline he felt before the big football games on Friday Nights. Awww.


Look at that mischevious look. Mom apparently knew nothing about the red shoes until this moment! LOL



Sarah grew up in this house where her parents still live across the street from the church.



Sarah and Justin had their "first meeting" on the wedding day underneath the tree they played under when they were little. How sweet!



We scheduled time to go around town to some great locations for their couple photography, which was lots of fun. We even played on the train, but don't tell anybody!






This guy should seriously be on American Idol!




And, apparently Sarah has cooties! LOL How cute is he?

We had to work in a football wedding party shot. Too funny!







Before the reception we had a chance to sneak away and photograph in downtown Helena. I could have stayed there for hours. We got some great backgrounds here.






I love how they look at each other. They ooze "in love"!

I love the original, creative ideas couple have for their wedding details. I thought this was a cool way to bring their family and friends into their marriage.

One of my favorite times of every reception is the father-daughter dance. Sarah and her dad had the whole range of emotions. It was so sweet!



Fun reception. Everyone there seemed to have a great time. It's just not a party until the groom does the worm in the soul train line! LOL


That's 59 years of marriage! Instead of a bouquet toss they had a dance off with couples being sent off the floor as the number of years married climbed. Austin's grandparents were the last dancing couple with 59 years!

And she brought down the house with what was the best reception speech I have heard in a long time. I see entertainment in her future!


Sarah and Justin, thank you so much for including me on your wedding day. I just love you guys. So cute! I enjoyed sharing this day with you and your family and friends. - Cheryl
