Some weddings stay with you, and Sara and Brad’s was one of those. From our very first call, it felt easy and familiar, like catching up with friends. It was clear how deeply they value their families and how openly they feel things, and they shared early on that what mattered most was capturing the emotion of the day, the moments they would want to remember for the rest of their lives.
Before the ceremony, they chose to do a first touch and exchange vows privately, and that ended up being the most emotional part of the entire day. Standing back to back, hands intertwined, they shared words meant only for each other. There were deep breaths, quiet tears, and so much love in that moment. We stayed out of the way and let it unfold naturally, knowing this was something sacred and deeply personal. It set the tone for everything that followed.
The rest of the day carried that same warmth and sincerity. Sara radiated joy, Brad showed up fully himself, and their people surrounded them with nonstop love, laughter, and support. We focused on capturing moments as they happened, the in between glances, the hugs, the laughter that bubbled up without warning. The night flowed effortlessly with heartfelt speeches, a lively dance floor, and a late night ramen bar that felt like the perfect, thoughtful touch.
Sara and Brad are the kind of couple who make love feel real and easy. From our first conversations to your engagement in Big Sur to your wedding day, we’re so grateful you trusted us with your story. Being there to witness and document a day like this is something we’ll always hold onto.
