“We are proud to announce that Sarah J Photography has been rated by local brides and voted The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 Pick.”

WooOOOHHoooo!!! Thank you local brides for the votes ~

I like to do a post of just one image from each Sarah J Photography wedding. No, who am I kidding? I looooove to do a post from all the Sarah J weddings – it’s sooo fun for me to go back through and remember, feel the moments, laugh at the good times, go over the high lights of each wedding in my head, and take that opportunity to wonder what each Sarah J couple may be up to now… not to mention it’s a quick look at the different colors, styles and seasons throughout the year!

Over the months, I have kept in touch with many of you because of orders, ’wear it again’ sessions, through Facebook, emails and even referrals and I can’t tell you how much I love that about this business. It’s never-ending. It’s so rewarding for me to get that phone call or email that you may be expecting and would like me to meet your new little one or even celebrating your anniversary with another photo shoot…it makes me so happy to be invited back into your lives. It’s hard to put into words but just know that I love it! So….if you expecting please share with me!! Even if I don’t get to photograph him or her as a newborn, I want to share the happiness! So without further a do – here’s my 2009 group! A quarter of the couples were photographed by Mary Wyar, so I won’t (and can’t) take full credit for all of these great couples!! But do know that I’m very proud of this past year and look forward to 2010!!

 

woooohooo ~ look at all those beautys! Thank you Sarah J couples!

My last wedding for 2009 ~ and enjoyed every minute of it! Marcie & Jay were the best couple for a New Years Eve wedding. They are such a laid back couple who just wanted to celebrate with all their friends & family!! And now they will have the best day of the year to celebrate their anniversaries! I thank you both for letting me (and Rochelle!) spend the day and into the morning with you ~ we had a blast and will always remember New Years Eve 09 as your day. A special note to Michael with Decorative Sound ~ I’m not sure the night would have gone so smooth and soooo fun without you, thank you tons for making the party last into 2010!!

 

Happy Holidays to you! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves with friends, family, food, laughter, presents , time off….! I know I did ~ had a great visit with my own family, valuable time with my son and some nice lil gifts ~ love my new pillows, Mom ! I’m finally getting back in the swing of preschool schedule, laundry, my mom’s group, watching the news, keeping up with Oprah, editing [!!!!], posting and wow ~ responding to emails & scheduling appointments! Hello engaged couples!! Thanks for your patiece, I still have 2 more weddings to post after this one and a few other sessions that slipped…stay tuned!!

So, Rochelle and I had a fabulous couple get married on December 12th in Archbold, Ohio. I love these two. They are super fun, laid back and completely in love. They met in Nashville while Scott was making & performing music. Evantually they found themselves back north doing the ‘grown up thing’ ~  Natalie, teaching and Scott taking care of the family farm. I first met Scott at a wedding last May [which I looooove seeing past couples & their families again!]  Kentucky Chrome played at the reception and enjoyed every minute of it, definitely a different take on the reception instead of the traditional dj [especially when the grooms steps in]!!
