sarah & matt - september 29, 2007

sarah and matt were married at trinity lutheran church in owatonna, mn. sarah was a bridesmaid in crystal and jeff's wedding last september, so i was looking forward to seeing them again. sarah and matt are such a sweet, laid back couple with a fun sense of humor and it was a joy and honor to be a part of their day. when we got to the church that morning, it was raining cats and dogs, but they were unphased. that is just a testament to the kind of people they are. they were just excited to be married and have a good time.

not only did she serve matron of honor duties, but she also sang a beautiful solo during the ceremony:

hugs all around:


just before the ceremony began, the rain stopped and the weather for the rest of sarah and matt's day was absolutely perfect. here they are leaving the church:

we stopped to get some pictures with the spectacular fall colors between the ceremony and reception. it was such a gorgeous setting, i had a hard time narrowing it down to just a couple for the blog:
