If ever I photographed a wedding with a bride that looked like she walked straight out of a Jane Austin novel, then this was that wedding for sure! Sarah has that very classic kind of beauty- completely natural and unassuming.

Now take that beauty, add a dashing groom and an incredible mountain range and you get something pretty epic! Can you hear the Lord of the Rings Soundtrack playing in the background?

Of course taking beautiful photos in the mountains was only a small part of what made this wedding special. What really stood out to me, was the way this wedding clearly came together as the result of loved ones all getting involved. Sarah’s gran did her hair and Makeup, family members took up their roles as musicians and MC’s, the greenery came from Chad’s family farm. The myriad of speeches and toasts spoke of and celebrated two people who so clearly have their hearts set on living out a Godly marriage.

Thank you so much to Lauren Pretorius for second shooting! (And for getting up at the crack of dawn to do so!)
