Sarah + Seth’s January Wedding

Sarah and Seth were married on January 1st at the Elmhurst Art Museum. The two met while attending my Alma Mater–University of  Missouri. Sarah and Seth might be opposites in many ways–he’s tall, she’s short, he’s a numbers man, she’s visceral, he’s from a small town, while she grew up  in a suburb of Chicago, but they’re best friends and very much in love. It was a pleasure working with them.  I feel like we’ve become friend’s over the last year–starting with our first meeting last summer and  further enhanced during their engagement session.  It was really nice being able to meet their wonderful family members  and friends (lot’s of fellow Journalism majors-whoa who!!) who made their day so special.

The word “covenant” was a reminder to Sarah and Seth that the day was about their marriage, not just the wedding.

  • I like "covenant". It reminds me of what it's all about. Gorgeous photos, Maggie. I love the simplicity and light -- and the expressions!

  • Oh my goodness I'm writing this right now with tears in my eyes really, the picture of her and her dad dancing with her mom watching in the background was so emotional. Amazing Maggie, you can capture a moment that moves someone who's never even met the family. Incredible....as always.

    And ummmm third from the bottom WOOHOO, that is AWESOME!
