They’ve known each other for years and years and years, since somewhere around the second grade mark. Sheย recalls him being being an “typical boy” in sixth grade, and neither of them can remember the first interaction they had. Its as though they were always part of each others lives, in one way or another.

They finally took notice of each other at the end of their senior year of high school, when Rob asked Sarah to the prom. Despite being over a thousand miles apart for four and a half years of college, they only grew to love each other more. So one day? Rob asked Sarah to marry him. And to his utter joy, she said yes.

Rob and Sarah, watching you all interact in the fun and lighthearted manner that you do has left me smitten with you all. You’re fun to watch and sheer bliss to photograph. Thank you so much for trusting me with the biggest day of your lives thus far, and I sincerely hope you’re enjoying the gorgeous beaches of Jamaica. (Go Buffs)

The day began at the Marriott in Tyson’s Corner. Sarah (and all of her bridesmaids) wore Toms, and the necklace Sarah wore was her mother’s.

The window light in the room was just perfect, so Sarah gave me a few minutes for some bridal portraits. I love her even more than I did before!

I love this photo, but all due credit goes to Katelyn James. I saw an adorable shot of hers that I loved so I used it for my own selfish pleasure ๐Ÿ™‚ All the girls were wearing Toms! It was too perfect to pass up.

Rob and Sarah are fans of a) being awesome and 2) making people laugh. So they and their bridal party did a coordinated dance to “I’m Sexy And I Know It.”

And thenย during Rob and Sarah’s first dance, theirย song started to skip, so they broke out into a coordinated dance medley to the following songs…
