Brian & Sarah |Married! | Kelly-Braman-Modern-Wedding-Photography-Grand-Rapids-Michigan

Meet Brian and Sarah! I met this lovely couple last year and when they contacted me regarding wedding photography…I couldn’t have been happier! I adore their family and Sarah has the sweetest mama and sister(well, and grandma, and grandpa, and aunt and uncle and dad and and…her whole darn family is sweet! forgive me if I left anyone out…you were all so nice!)! I knew this wedding was going to be laid back, beautiful and joyful! You will see from the images I captured..it was all of that and more!

I met with Sarah and her mom, Janel, a couple of weeks prior to the wedding to go over all of the details surrounding the day. Sarah mentioned that her and Brian Loved Mad Men(such a great series!) I came up with a few ideas to tie that in with photography and it was fun to incorporate that feel into their day. Sarah also mentioned Old Hollywood! I think she pulled it off and I LOVE what I captured for them! Sarah was a beautiful bride and simply the sweetest! Brian is a man of faith and I honestly think that was my favorite part of their wedding! The love they have for each other and their committment to God. The ceremony was touching and I loved hearing their story! What a beautiful day!

Brian and Sarah! Thank you for allowing me to document your love. You were surrounded by your closest friends and family and you truly could feel the love in the room! Congratulations and much love!
