Congratulations to Sarah and Mark who were wed on October 18, 2014 on the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast. I had the privilege to travel to Florida for their wedding and to meet their close-knit family. I truly enjoyed photographing their wedding and capturing their love in front of their family. My brother, Kyle, was my second shooter which made the wedding even more fun! Some of Kyle’s images are seen here in the blog post, he is very talented.

I wish them a lifetime of happiness! Here’s the story of Sarah & Mark:

1. How did you two meet?

Mark and I actually met at a local county fair in 2001–so Kentucky, I know. We dated for a few years, and then decided to go our separate ways–we were so young! Four years ago, however, we happened to run into one another–starting talking, and the rest is history! For some reason I always knew that I would marry him.

2. What was your first date like?

So our first date was your typical high school date–dinner and a movie, nothing too spectacular :o)

3. Who proposed and how did it happen?

Mark proposed to me a few days before my 30th birthday. He surprised me at a park that we were strolling through after a quick late lunch/early dinner. He then had a huge surprise party for me directly following.

4. Describe what you think makes your relationship “work”.

We complement each other very well–we’re very much opposites. For whatever reason, that just works for us.

5. Where do they see themselves 5 years from now?

Married, with 2 kids–5, if it were up to Mark. Ha!
