A Summer Wedding Full of Color


Late July, Sara and Matt tied the knot at the beautiful Mad River Barn in Waitsfield, Vermont. It couldn't have been a more perfect day! There was the perfect mix of sunshine, excitement, and a confident calmness about these two officially saying "I do." The day was filled with personal touches. From florals that honored Sara's South African heritage, traditional Jewish touches throughout the ceremony, and fun nods to those who traveled from across the globe to be there. All day, there was no rushing, no getting worked up or anxious, just a confidence that Sara and Matt are meant to be together. A special interactive element they included during their cocktail hour was an almost ice breaker game. Excited to have friends and family from all over, they encouraged their guests to intermingle through this game they created. Every person got a clue about someone else and they had to find them through the hour and get a photo taken together! It was a fun way for their guests to meet new people and celebrate Sara and Matt's worlds coming together. It was a joy to photograph it all!
