Sarah + Charles have absolutely flawless taste — in style, for certain, but also in choosing their spouse and partner-in-crime for life. They truly bring out the best in each other + compliment each other’s personalities perfectly. Even during the few hours we had together on their wedding day, I could sense how much they balance each other, Sarah being not only a gorgeous bride but also a big dreamer and romantic, and Charles being the easy-going soul and patient encourager. The perfect balance. Their wedding day at Rustic Manor 1848 reflected ALL of that balance as well, and it was an excellent pairing of elegant + fun.

Romantic Rustic Elegance

So when they planned their wedding day to take place at St. John’s Military Academy and Rustic Manor 1848 in Delafield, I knew we were in for a gorgeous day. Sarah envisioned a day that was first of all elegant and romantic (hit that nail on the head), but also rather easy-going and fun in terms of their guests’ experience (mission absolutely accomplished). Jane Kelly Floral made all of Sarah’s flower dreams come true, and these two planned a jaw-dropping celebration to kick off their marriage.

Congratulations Sarah + Charles, and cheers to many happy years of wedded bliss, you two! Thank you for asking me along to document such a special day in your lives!
