Brad makes me green with envy with his awesome snowflake making skills.   Do you see that?  A snowman AND a Christmas tree, all in the same snowflake!!!

Sean & Sara | 11.27.10

You may remember Sean & Sara from their beautiful engagement session early last spring.  It was no surprise to me that they had a wonderfully beautiful wedding.  It was a chilly, sunny afternoon when I met Sara at her church, St. Peter's in Columbus.  I've seen relaxed brides before but I think Sara takes the cake.  Her bridesmaids and her even had some time to engage in a few rounds of hangman before the ceremony!  She was peaceful and relaxed and ready to be married!

After the ceremony we went to Coffman Park in Dublin for the portraits.  Sean & Sara were determined to get outdoor portraits despite the 30 some degree temperatures.  The sunset was so amazing that day.  

Seriously, Sean & Sara were a breeze to work with.  They are a gorgeous couple and natural in front of the camera.  It was such a pleasure to capture their wedding.

Thank you so much guys!  I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

A rousing game of hangman!

I love, love, love when I can catch a look like this between a bride and her father.  There is so much emotion wrapped up in it!

Caught in the midst of a bubble attack!

They should be models or something, right??

I love the bottom photo.  Sara doesn't seem like the type of person to get choked up a lot but her Maid of Honor's speech did the trick.  

The mother-son dance has so much meaning to me now that I'm a mother to a little boy.  This photo pretty much sums up how I think I will feel on Theo's wedding day.

No party is complete without glow necklaces!

Be sure to check out the slideshow for more of Sean & Sara's wedding photos.  I suggest playing Zac Brown Band's "Free" to go along with it.  It was their first dance song and is one of my favorites.

We went to the Candlelight nights at the Conservatory and then walked back to the community garden campus to see Santa and his reindeer.  It was so refreshing to take a brisk evening walk, I'm already starting to get a little cabin fever with all of this cold weather!

I don't have a picture for today so I'll substitute this delicious ice cream sundae photo that was taken a few days ago.

There's nothing cuter than a baby in his mama's hat.

We bundled up and ventured out into German Village for their village lights.  Over 9,000 luminaries lit the brick streets and most of the business and restaurants were open late.  I was in a grumpy mood (we forgot Theo's carrier so we had to use the stroller which is never easy on German Village's bumpy sidewalks let alone when there are a gazillion people around) so I didn't take a lot of photos.  This is from inside St. Mary's church where we ran inside to get warm and found a bell choir playing Christmas tunes.

We went to St. Mary's in German Village to pick out our tree this year.  I really wanted to go to a cut your own place but we didn't feel like traveling 40 minutes outside of town to get there.   We've gone to St. Mary's a couple of times before to get our tree and have always gotten the most beautiful ones.

Brad and I got to go on a lovely date to Haiku and then spent a little time at our friends house hanging out.

Really horrible cell phone photo taken of our wedding rings before going to bed.  They were sitting on my grandmother's peeling dresser that I've been saying I'm going to refinish for years.
