“We are both looking forward to being stuck with each other for the rest of our lives…happily of course.”

I absolutely adore couples who feel comfortable being 100% themselves in front of me. Aside from being super fun and making for an even more memorable day, it really does show in the photos. And while the conversations that were had will stay between us, let’s just say Greg+Sarah are a hoot to be around 😉

Below is a slideshow from Sarah+Greg’s wedding. To view the photos at your own pace, scroll below. Enjoy!

Sarah+Greg’s First Look at the Santa Barbara Courthouse was so much fun, and Greg could not stop complimenting Sarah and checking her out!

The story behind this ring and proposal is absolutely adorable (and also hilarious!)…More from Greg:

“After dating for a year and a half I decided I wanted to be with Sarah for the rest of my life. I began to plot the proposal. I had taken Sarah ring shopping (I know, subtle), to find out what type of ring she would want. She found the exact one she wanted and I made a mental note of it. Always overconfident, I bought the ring and stashed it away before even asking her parents for their blessing (once I did ask for their blessing they were ecstatic). We went back to the store a few times and Sarah noticed the ring was missing from the display. I conned it off as someone else must have bought it but it is ok because, “I know what style you like and when we want to get married I will get it for you.”

I ended up proposing on Valentine’s Day 2014 (not cheesy at all). We went out to a very nice dinner at a restaurant on the beach. It was the perfect evening since it was a full moon, not windy, not very cold, and romantic. I had the ring in my pocket and after we were done I suggested that we go for a walk down the beach. My heart was beating fast and I knew the moment was coming. Sarah looked at me and said, “nahhhhh. My feet hurt from teaching all day.” Well crap. There goes that plan. We ended up going back to our apartment and I did the proposal while she was relaxing on the couch. Not as romantic but it got the job done.”

The wedding party’s boisterous personality definitely matched the bride and groom’s!

Sarah’s themes for the wedding were a confluence of rustic and familiar charm. The colors for the wedding were teal, yellow, and gray. Looks pretty damn good, if you ask me!

“The day of, Sarah wore her Grand-mothers pearl necklace and ring that has been passed down over the generations. Sarah’s Mom wore the same pearls during her own wedding. ”
