SO… this is the last flashback blog before my spring weddings start popping up here, and it’s a doozie… New Year’s Eve!!  Sarah and Stephen had a beautiful day full of laughs, hazy pretty winter sun,and it all ended with a great party!  Sarah got dressed at a neat old house right behind the Coronado, so we’ll start there…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

help a sister out with these boots! (and mom watching her girls)

Stephen may or may not have had a little wait at the park….

patience pays off!

emotional first looks are the best.

 

 

love this one

 

 

 

I miss this winter sunlight!

 

 

Sarah has the amazing combination of dark hair and blue eyes that almost nobody gets.

 

couldn’t resist this huge bare tree

this series is one of my favorites of the day

 

our wedding party

 

 

the ceremonial bug in my pants dance….

my favorite favorite.

 

veil wind… always a happy accident!

 

 

 

 

we had time to stop in for a quick relax and beverage before heading back

 

and off to St. Joseph’s in Clayton for a night ceremony

proud parents

 

 

 

 

a few giggles during the rings

next stop, the always beautiful Coronado Ballroom

for a meteorologist’s wedding:  weather system table numbers and “cloudy” glass chargers!

 

the sweetheart table

 

 

 

 

a real honest to goodness cake smash!

 

 

 

group hugs!

 

 

 

aaaaand party time… a little air guitar!

 

okay… so this guys on the left did not catch the garter… but he wanted it.

break out the champagne

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

Thanks for a fun and festive day!
