Sarah and Marty's Fall Wedding at Duke Gardens | Duke Gardens Photographer

Sarah and Marty had a beautiful Fall wedding at Duke Gardens earlier this month. The colors on the trees were so stunning, and the weather was perfect! This couple is so precious, and so much fun to be around! You can tell they are so in love, and they were beaming with joy the whole day, it was adorable! They had friends and family come from all over the United States, and the reception party was especially fun!

Sarah and Marty went off to Belize to honeymoon, that seems like a beautiful and exotic destination! Definitely on my bucket list! Congrats again, you two!!!

Here are a few of my favorites:







Marty and Sarah chose to do a 'First Look' before the wedding to allow more time to spend with all their friends and family at the reception. I love when couples are willing to do this! These are always some of my favorite moments, it's awesome to truly capture their first reactions seeing each other on their wedding day. So sweet!






Aren't they such a stunning couple?!



I always love shooting weddings at Duke Gardens, it's a really beautiful location! I was super impressed by the floral arrangements by Catering Works.








These wedding party photos are super fun!




Even though we did a first look, I did a few 'just married' photos with Sarah and Marty too for a few minutes so I could capture their adorable happiness for having just said 'I Do'!






And the party begins! The cake was done by Sweet Memories Bakery. TheDJ was Damien Maass and he kept the party going all night, with great song choices and smooth transitions, it was a fun soundtrack for me to work to!

Check out ring-bearer, Cody! He has some of the best dance moves I've ever seen! He danced the night away, and was as cute as can be!










The dance party was a blast to photograph! This group had a great time. Sarah and Marty had a photo booth company set up too, and that added to the fun because they ended up using some of the props from the photo booth on the dance floor, it was pretty hilarious :)







DJ: Damien Maass
