These two could warm up the coldest of fall days. Sarah & Michael met in Madison after finishing college, he was a trainer at her gym, and she (in his words) flirted shamelessly with him when they first met. While we might never uncover the real truth about that ;) they both moved to Chicago and ended up reconnecting months later when they found out the coincidentally lived on the same street! After dating for over 3 years, Michael surprised Sarah with a proposal that caught her in her element. Imagine hiking in a beautifully rustic spot at the top of the trail high on a hill, taking a moment to rest on one of the large rock faces next to the trail, and turning around to this handsome gentleman down on one knee! No wonder she said yes!!

Sarah & Michael, thank you from the bottom of my heart for entrusting me with your engagement and wedding images, these memories that will be preserved for you forever. It’s truly an honor to get to work with you for your rustic, elegant barn wedding next fall at Sugarland Barn – I’m already counting down the days! Much love to you both (and to Sushi!) :)
