Sarah + Chris

"I love you to the moon and back" is the motto for these two and it couldn't be more true. Their love for science, space and most things nerdy is what brought Sarah + Chris to the Orlando Science Center for their wedding. It was an early start for the girls at the DoubleTree in downtown Orlando and you could feel the excitement as you entered the suite. Sarah was all smiles and filled with butterflies from the anticipation of seeing Chris at their first look. Before leaving the hotel, Sarah shared a precious moment with her dad as he saw her for the first time in her wedding dress.

We met with Chris and the guys at the Orlando Science Center. Everyone laughed and shared stories as they got dressed and waited for Sarah to arrive. Since they are all huge fans of Dragon Ball Z, they wanted to do the signature team fighting pose of the Ginyu Force and boy did they nail it. In case you don't know what I mean, I attached an image for reference. No matter how much fun they were having, for Chris, every second felt like an hour. He was ready to see his bride!

At the first look, Sarah paused for one last breath before seeing Chris for the first time. When he turned around they both flooded with smiles and Sarah added some tears. Moments like these remind us why we love our job! After a few quick portraits everyone was ready for the ceremony.

The ceremony was short and sweet with a ton of laughs and smiles. As Sarah and Chris stood together hand in hand, it was obvious these two were meant to be. They had a kiss to seal the deal and they were declared husband and wife!

The reception was held on the 4th floor balcony with a gorgeous view of downtown Orlando in the distance. The reception decor was beautiful. Copper colored cans filled with willow branches were surrounded by green moss and baby's breath for the centerpieces. The cake sat upon a wooden log engraved with "Sarah + Chris" inside a heart. Guests took their seats as the sun began to set. Blue up-lights and market lighting set the stage for what was going to be one heck of a party. The Dj had a few tricks up his sleeve by showing some magic during dinner and the music he played kept the dance floor packed. A conga line led by the flower girl took every guest by the bar for a shot of Fireball! We even had time to sneak the Sarah + Chris away for a few more photos and boy was it worth it. Congratulations to Sarah + Chris! Thank you for letting us capture your special day!
