BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Love them! XOOXOX
I love them all. But especially the one in the forest, the one on the red porch and the one in front of the blue wall. Patrick Pike has a great eye. And Mariah and Austin are a perfect couple. Aunt Carole
Despite the cold weather, our crappy outfits, and me not feeling that well I think these pictures still turned out great. Artistic but real at the same time. I can't decide which one I like best - I like them all for different reasons. Thank you, Patrick, for being so patient with us and for finding such awesome moments. ~;0)
All fantastic shots of the real Mariah and Austin. I like that. Next time I want to see more of their beautiful eyes.
So sweet! I love the pictures!
These photos are lovely! I especially like the one with the huge tree in the background! I can't wait for the big day! I know the wedding will be fabulous!
So pretty!!! You both look so happy! Really beautiful.
PS- Love that Ciot said her name was Ciot :)
Thank you all soooo much! I love that you can all see Mariah and Austin's personality shining through these pictures.
Thanks for sharing these pics Mariah. They are beautiful and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words...
Katie and I joined Sarah and her bridesmaids at her house early in the afternoon as they were getting ready. The Jack in the Box was still fresh on the table and everyone was in good spirits as they finished up. Sarah was incredibly relaxed and not nervous in the slightest. As she said, she was ready to get married and just soaking in the day.
After the limo picked up Sarah and the girls, Katie and I drove over to meet the Chase and his guys. They were all ready to go when we got there (it took them about ten minutes to get ready) and looking sharp. We only had a few minutes with them before the ceremony started, but we were able to knock out some crazy cool portraits.
At the church Sarah stayed out of sight while their guests gathered and the limo returned with the guys. Tucked away, she chatted with her girls and received one last embrace from her parents before she was married. Chase waited patiently at the front of the church until he caught the first glimpse of this bride. The ceremony seemed quick to me, I can only imagine how it felt to Sarah and Chase.
Right after the ceremony Sarah and Chase greeted their guests outside the church. Then we all headed for the reception at the Atwater Community Center. After a few quick family portraits Sarah, Chase, Katie and I walked out into the field for a few more photographs of just them. Sarah was stunning and Chase Mr. Cool--together they were in love. I loved how the looked at each other and held each other. You could just see it in their eyes.
Inside everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner while the bridal party took turns honoring the bride and groom. During dinner Katie and I set up the crazybooth and got ready to get busy. Once the guests finished dinner (and some before) the crazybooth was jumping with Katie at the helm. All of the guests loved being able to pose and have prints made right there to take home as suveniours from the wedding. In the meantime the Dave from TNG DJ kept the music flowing for the dance floor.
The night went off without a hitch. Everyone enjoyed the party while Sarah and Chase got to spend the evening with their guests. But before I could let them go for the night, I snuck them outside of one last photograph. Make sure you scroll all the way to the end--let's just say I have a soft spot in my heart cool cars.
Congratulations again Sarah and Chase and thank you for bringing us along for the ride!
beautiful!!!!!!!!!
Classic

Your photography work is stunning. You seem to have captured the spirit of the day and Sarah and Chase will have beautifully preserved memories because of you!
Patrick and Katie,
I can't even begin to Thank you enough for your work at my brothers wedding. You guys were fun, funny, down to earth and absolutly amazing photographers. Just the few preveiw photos I've seen gets me very excited to see the rest. And I can't say enough good things about the "crazy booth"...definintly a huge hit at the wedding, everyone had a great time posing for those pictures! Your work, as well as you guys are beautiful. Thank you again for everything!
Thanks so much Laurie this means a lot to both Katie and I! It was great to meet you and be a part of the wedding. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the crazybooth and we have tons of great photos to prove it. We have lots and lots of photos to go through and will post more shortly.
Thank you for being there for one of the happiest days of our family's life. The pictures are beautiful so far and all the guests had a wonderful time at the photo booth. You and Katie were wonderful!
Patrick and Katie...it was a dream of Sarah's to have you as her official photographer for her wedding. As you may well know, Sarah is very particular in what she wants. She wanted the best, and she got the best. You both made everyone feel comfortable and was non-intrusive and at times I didn't know you were there. The crazy photo booth was a hit and such a great idea to have family take their photos also. We are awaiting the photos with baited breath. Take your time, perfection is slow sometimes. Thanks again for being Sarah and Chase's shadow!
