My wedding day went by SO fast! Time seriously sped up that day, and I'm really thankful my husband and I carved out time for just us. We decided to go out to dinner by ourselves before we joined our guests at the reception! It was THE BEST. Maybe that's not how you'll create time together on your wedding day but find a way to set aside a little time for just the two of you. I love that this bride stepped away from her reception to just take a moment and soak it all in while watching the sun set over the ocean. 😍 I captured this shooting with my sweet friend, @brooke_borough who is the most boss wedding photographer babe. #sarahellefsonphotography Photographed a wedding that involved giraffes this weekend so while I'm excitedly editing those photos to share here's a snap of the last wedding I had with a giraffe! #sarahellefsonphotography #stanleythegiraffe That moment when you realize YOU'RE MARRIED! #sarahellefsonphotography #fromthisdayhuang Emily + Danny are getting married today and it feels extra special to be their photographer for two reasons 1) I shot Emily's brother's wedding a couple years ago and was so honored when Emily reached out and asked me to capture HER wedding day. As a photographer, there's really no greater compliment than being invited into another family wedding! 2) Emily + Danny have GIRAFFES at their reception! Giraffes have always been my favorite animal and I am SO pumped for this day. #sarahellefsonphotography #fromthisdayhuang Always a favorite. Making some photography magic with a little bit of fairy dust and a whole lot of trust. 😂 Clare probably thought I was nuts when I asked her to step outside the church basement and twirl around and I was so excited she was down with it! P.S. @bhldn loved this shot so much they featured it on their instagram! Woohoo! #sarahellefsonphotography Best man/maid of honor job well done. (Photographed this second shooting with my fabulous friend, @brooke_borough !) #sarahellefsonphotography I launched my mini session sign ups last week! Every fall, I offer back to back short photo sessions in Ojai so you can get some fresh photos with your loved ones. This year, I'm so excited because you'll be able to order holiday cards right from your photo gallery! And guys, they're CUTE. Click over to my website for sign up details! #sarahellefsonphotography @sarahellefson If you're having a big wedding, make time for yourselves by sneaking out of the reception during sunset for some alone time to soak in the fact that you just got married. Take some time to freak out over your wedding rings and snuggle while you watch your guests having a blast at the reception! #sarahellefsonphotography Just a beach babe living her best life on her wedding day. Right after they got married, we went straight to the ocean! Prioritize what YOU want on your day and make it happen. (And bring your photographer with you!) #sarahellefsonphotography #letsgrowarnoldtogether You might think I'm joking when I say this is my current wedding day uniform, but I'm not! This black Madewell jumpsuit is the BOMB. I should have bought twelve of them when I found it. It has pockets, it's breezy but velvety, and I always get complimented on it which makes up for the fact that my husband tells me I look like a toddler in it. 😂 #sarahellefsonphotography
