Sarah and Jarrod first met at a bar downtown after she attended a Shania Twain concert. They didn't hit it off right away, but separately told their mutual friend Kathryn that they thought the other was cute. From then on Kathryn did what she could to invite Sarah and Jarrod to the same events. After a handful of events these two were talking non-stop. Sarah and Jarrod did everything to keep their long-distance relationship going – whether it was Jarrod spending every weekend in Chicago or Sarah making the trip to Detroit. The rest is history.

Sarah and Jarrod got engaged near Saint Germain, Wisconsin. After a trip to a local brewery they went to Sarah's family cabin down the road. When they got to the cabin they went out onto the lake and looked back at the cabin. The next thing you know, Jarrod was down on one knee in the middle of the lake proposing. It was the perfect moment for this perfect couple!!

I loved getting to know Sarah and Jarrod at their engagement session last Summer. Sarah and Jarrod are both kind, laid-back and up for anything, they make doing this job SO easy. It was exciting to shoot their wedding with Conrad, we love when we have the opportunity to take pictures together on a wedding day! When we arrived at Sarah and Jarrod’s new home for “getting ready” photos with the girls everyone was in great spirits, especially Sarah, who looked radiant and was so welcoming to us. Once Sarah was dressed she shared a sweet moment with her Dad before we left for Lake Katherine for pictures. It was unseasonably warm for early November, we were so thankful for the sunshine while we spent time near the lake! Jarrod was sweetly emotional during their First Look, and from that moment on these two were smiley and inseparable for the rest of the day.

After pictures at Lake Katherine we made our way to Church of the Transfiguration for Sarah and Jarrod’s wedding ceremony. The sun streamed in through the overhead windows and beautifully lit the altar while Sarah and Jarrod exchanged their vows. Once they were officially married we made a quick stop at Plush Horse ice cream shop just down the road for a sweet treat to celebrate before landing at Gaelic Park for the reception. It truly was a perfect day, what an honor and joy it was to celebrate Sarah and Jarrod’s love and new life together!
