Mike and Sarah are MARRIED!! Wow it really was such an incredible day! I’m so glad we can re-live it again & again through their images (and wedding video coming soon). These two overcame SO many hurdles, disappointments, changed plans, etc. throughout their wedding planning process (oh hey global pandemic) but still remained incredibly positive! Guests traveled from all over the United States and Canada to celebrate with them. They incorporated so many thoughtful and intentional details into their wedding. Sarah wore her grandmothers wedding dress, that her mom also wore, for the ceremony. We’re talking a beautiful dress that’s 65 years old!! Sarah chose to do a first look with her grandpa & that was such a sweet/emotional moment as it was the third VonderBrink woman he’s seen in that specific gown. From her bridal jewelry, to Mike’s tie and cufflinks, every detail held rich history from their families. It’s no surprise that they chose to get married in the same church Sarah’s parents were married in and that they chose The Grande Hall downtown, built in 1931, for their reception (I’ll save you all the details but you can read all about the history of that building here).

It was truly such an honor to document their start of their marriage surrounded by so many of their favorite people! As you scroll through you’ll see a lot of beaming smiles, sweet moments, their adorable niece, the BEST father of the bride speech, and so much more!!

Cheers to Mike & Sarah!!
