Sarah + Braden | Carlyle Club Wedding

 Just a few images from Sarah and Braden’s gorgeous Carlyle Club wedding!

The day started with the couple getting ready at the Marriott Residence Inn at Caryle and they opted to do a first look outside. I loved the idea of reading letters from the other fist! Then we hopped in a crazy fun crowded limo to a few local sites for photos before booking it to the church. Sarah walked down the aisle with both her biological dad and her stepdad which I thought was such a sweet gesture (I’m tight with my stepdad too) and an amazing idea.

This couple is Hokie to the core with a huge portion of their family and friends having gone to Virginia Tech! I just loved their wedding colors as yellow is my favorite color! The whole thing was just so classic cool with an amazing candy bar to boot! Usually I prefer to shoot outdoors for portraits but when you are in such a hip venue, it’s more fun indoors! I love how they channel the Drapers! I think the dancing part of this wedding was my absolute favorite with Braden channeling his inner crowd surfing Vedder side and Sarah taking off her shoes and raging on the stage. Random note, Sarah’s skin is really that awesome! I didn’t photoshop her at all! So jealous!
