Sarah and Brandon’s wedding day is one that I keep close to my heart!

Sarah is the sister to my good friend, Elizabeth, who I’ve known since middle school! Elizabeth and her now-husband, Jeff, eloped in Las Vegas the year before and flew me out to capture their day with their family. I’ve met Sarah before the elopement but was able to hang out with her and Brandon more in Vegas. When we left, she said, “I’ll contact you about our wedding in May!” Of course, I was ecstatic. When we got back, we planned their May wedding and set it on the calendar. Little did we know that Covid would soon hit and change everything about 2020’s spring season.

Thankfully, Sarah and Brandon were able to reschedule for October and they had the most beautiful day! We all met up at Brandon and Sarah’s home near Gaithersburg, Maryland for their intimate, outdoor, wedding. If you guys didn’t know, I grew up in Maryland (where I met Elizabeth) and still have family in the area, so I always love traveling up North for weddings and love visiting friends, family, and my old stomping grounds while I’m there. This was also a special trip for Elizabeth was pregnant with twins!

After a sweet first look and an attempt to get a few photos with their kitties, we all headed down to the backyard for the ceremony. It was a beautiful, sunny, fall day and the leaves were definitely showing off for us. Sarah and Brandon soon became husband and wife surrounded by family, close friends and co-workers, and even some family on Zoom who couldn’t make it. Afterwards, Brandon built a bonfire and we roasted s’mores as the sun went down!

Congratulations, Sarah and Brandon (and as I’m writing this blog, happy anniversary)! It was truly so special to capture yours and Elizabeth’s day and to celebrate with your loving families. Cheers to many more years of happiness together!

Big thanks to their vendors who made their day amazing
