Beautiful photos. Your connection with these two really comes through in these images. Really nicely done. cw
the scarf at the end really? in love love love with that image...
Wow. Sarah, I've been a silent fan for a while. I'm not sure why it's taken so long to comment; likewise, I'm not sure while this spread of Diane & Wei spurred me to comment. My favorite is the shot of Wei meditating. As always, your work is a delight and an inspiration. Your blog layout also rocks - love the horizontal layout!
I love that last shot. The texture, movement and that well loved scarf. magic.
These are awesome, Sarah! I love the couple's sense of style. I'm a new reader to your blog, and I'm so amazed and inspired by your photos.
They look like such a happy couple :) i love this set. I love your work!
Looks like they were having SO MUCH FUN!!! Great post! :)
they look like so much fun :)
those are definitely the people to keep around. gorgeous images as always!
I feel like I'm watching a movie... so sweet, romantic, and fun!
l-o-v-e this! the photos capture their love and beauty all too well, what a treasure for this sweet couple :c)
FAVORITE. FAVORITE. FAVORITE. You always keep it fresh. Love this set tons.
Sarah! These photos are just SO incredibly beautiful. The first one and the one with the hands are my favorite. You are amazing as always.
NICE!
This is absolutely awesome! These people look so in love, and the last picture is too cool!
love em, love em! hope your time in Canada was enjoyed :)
Beautiful session you guys... i adore all the emotion throughout the images! so heartfelt!!! so fun!!! xo
I am pretty fond of these two myself and these images of them are 'the bomb dot com' ;) Diane, you are the cutest EVER.
This whole session has such a fresh, light and happy vibe to it. Even the more "serious" black and whites... the wind is blowing, it seems like their smiles and happiness cannot be contained. Amazing work, Sarah!
hey. these are totally awesome. the field and sky shot is epic.
Laurie, what a fun surprise to see your face on Sarah's blog. You are BEAUTIFUL. And Sarah, brilliant as always.
These photos are beautiful, I'd love to do one of these sessions with you and Chris. Maybe one day if I'm ever in the states :)
I love the first picture! & I love that she's wearing J.Crew :)
Oh I LOVE Laurie !! She is just the sweetest :) I am sure you had the best time. I just love that first B&W image.
Amazing work as usual !!
The second picture (first in W&B) is just fantastic and one of my favourite all time !!
sarah and chris.... thank you so much for everything! it was so great to meet the two of you and spend the day hanging out together. you two are such an inspiration to me and I am so excited to be applying the things we've talked about! oh and by the way.... I'd love to make you some of those berry bars if you lived closer! you'll just have to try 'em out and let me know how it goes! you can do it!! lol
That first portrait in particular is so delightful... lovely composition, expression of joy, and amazing colors! Super cute and fun!
Bestie- can't wait to meet him. Beautiful letter and am so glad that you had such a sweet time with your fam when you were here.
i usually just stop in and search for new photos to be amazed by. i love to gawk at your work. it's gorgeous. i usually don't read the paragraphs w the pics. a picture speaks a thousand words to me. of course the title caught me. blasted. unfortunately i am one that can say "i know where you're coming from". i lost my dad to diabetes in '94...i was 13...um, he was 66, though. i know. super age gap. we didnt have a camcorder when i was growing up, so i have no tapes. however, my mom came across a family reunion video and i just recently got to hear my dad talk. truly an amazing sound. the year after he passed, i started carrying a camera w me everywhere. just cheap fuji cameras from walmart, but a camera. i'm very big into capturing moments and i honestly didnt put the two together..my dad is the reason i do this now. thanks dad.
I can't even read the letter, because every time I try, my eyes fill up with this watery stuff and every thing gets blurry
Reading your post about your father caught me by surprise, and made me start to cry. Your father would be so proud of the woman and photographer you have become. i only wish to be as good as you one day.
Awww, SARAH! This is so touching! I couldn't help but tear up while reading this. Hope you are comforted.
Sarah you are the cutest! What a special note to your Dad, thank you for sharing it with us.
Just beautiful. Your passion for the responsibility and honour of recording peoples memories is something I also feel deeply. You have a marvellous way with words. Thanks for sharing this.
Cool post, Sarah. I have two daughters. I bought a video camera when the first one was born two years ago. Now I know why. Thanks for reminding me.
Thank you for sharing this. Your story and your words are so powerful and truly inspiring. Wishing you all the best :)
Thanks for sharing more about your family! We love you guys and we know your dad would be sooooooooo proud of you!!!!!
wow. even though your years to enjoy your dad were cut short ..... you have some wonderful memories that were created. what a lovely letter you have wrote. big hugs to you and thank you for sharing. so beautiful.
Absolutely powerful. Wonderful.
Thank You so much for sharing.
Rachel :-)
this is so raw tears are welling up in my eyes too. i'm sure your dad will be extremely proud of what a beautiful person you are today. *hugs*
I couldn't have come across this message at a better time. thank you.
This post was beautiful, Sarah. So open and honest, I know that your dad would have loved the letter, and trust me I'm sure he has already read it. I believe that even after people are gone they are here all the time with us, giving us strength when we don't even know it. Your love and appreciation for him and the time you had with him is so visible and the impact he had on your life is evident from this beautiful letter. You highlighted something that is so important that I think sometimes people take for granted, the power of both photography and videography is immense. I find myself taking pictures every day of the normal things that go on in my house. Sometimes my family asks me, "why are you taking photos of this? it's nothing special." to which I reply, "it may be nothing special today, but in ten years time we will look back at these pictures and be happy to see normal the way it used to be" This was a beautiful post for me to read today, so thank you.
What a truly beautiful tribute, Sarah.
Your writing is honest, rich and full of love.
You had me in tears. Thank you for reminding me how precious life is.
Sarah, how precious of you to write about your Dad. June 1, is always special to me. Rod loved his birthday. I visited his grave yesterday with Mom. He was a wonderful, fun, funny brother and he loved your girls. Thank you for writing to him, means so much and sharing with all of us. You are so precious. He is missed very much!
Love you, Aunt Karen
ah Sarah so so beautiful! love the photo, he would have been so proud of you
what a beautiful letter and tribute to your father...he would be so proud of you.
It takes great courage to write something like that on your blog. I almost lost my father when I was 14 (brain tumor), and your post reminded me of that time of loss and confusion I felt and how grateful I am that my father pulled through and is still here with us today.
You are right. What we do with our art and our passion is something that will last in our clients lives and the lives of their offspring.
I am sure your dad is shining where ever he is when he thinks of what you bring to this world and the honor you give him by sharing your story with the masses.

you cried writing and i cried reading. what a beautiful way to remember your dad and tell him happy birthday :)
i love that you look so much like your dad... :) what a great letter. sending big hugs your way friend...
thank you. thank you for sharing your memories, your heart, your love for your dad. i'm going to go call my dad right now. thanks for reminding us all about what is truly important in life... each other.
Sarah, I am crying and happy and mostly proud. Love as always. Alex. (I have some great photos I would like u to have)
this is so beautiful. my eyes are filled with tears and my throat got that lump as i read your words. i was thinking so many things in the like yesterday on Memorial day about a woman who impacted my life incredibly and is no longer here. those pictures, videos, letters, jewelry will alwasy hold a real, alive memory. what a gift to have them to remember by. just as written word, even on a blog....thank you for writing and for being willing to share intimate thoughts.
You made my cry sweet Sarah. Though I never met him, I know that he would be as proud of you today as we all are to know you. My love!
beautifully written Sarah! I have tears in my eyes thinking about this post from my own kids' perspectives.
I'm so touched, Sarah. My daughter just turned 15, just a bit older than you were when your father passed. As a hospice volunteer, end of life is something that's familiar to me and sometimes hits home closer than I'd would like. Thank you so much for sharing something so dear to your heart.
I'm sure your father would be so very proud of the amazing person you've become.
Sarah, what a beautiful post. I had tears reading it. Thank you for sharing and the reminder of the powerful responsibility we hold as photographers.
Well put, Sarah. I'm so sorry your dad is no longer here, but I'm sure he is very proud of you.
oh sarah, my heart is skipping beats! Amazing!!
The topography is CRAZY there, huh? I was in Calgary two weeks ago myself...beautiful job!
Wow wow, these are so amazing, Sarah! I'm in awe. Wish we could all have wedding photos as incredible as these.
Holy cow! Can we get some of that scenery over here in Indiana? :) Love it!

I absolutely love your work! I found it through a friend of a friend! I have you bookmarked on my bookmark bar and check it every day! Right after I check my facebook!
i've been following your work for about a year now, and i don't think i've ever left you a comment!! my new goal is to let the photographers whose work i admire KNOW IT. your work is stunning, emotional, beautiful . . . i love it. you're a true inspiration!
Flipping amazing shoot!

Those mountains are so so so amazing!!
WOW!!! What a dream! Amazing view! Love these!
Enchanting. Really. I've never seen anything like it. Did you all shoot the mountain ones before the ceremony or were the bride and groom just super generous with the in-between time?
The scenery is unreal. I mean it actually looks unreal like they are inside paintings! Amazing!
gorgeous location, couple, photos! They scenery is so beautiful it almost looks fake! You are incredible Sarah! Such an inspiration!
Wonderful shots! I love the vivid colors and wide angle shots.
I love these photos! You captured them so beautifully! Lucky ducks, I want to go the mountains! :)
Great wedding guys, love it! cheers from MX
i had to stop on that first one for a couple minutes before proceeding. amazing.
Wow. This reminds me of something out of the "sound of music"!
Incredible! I especially like the first and last pics... and EVERYTHING in between!
I want to see the first one blown up reaaaal huge. It's so epic. Looks like a blast..
Flippin' amazing guys! These shots are insane and so very original. This post gets a platinum star :). I'm right there with you on gondola's giving you the queasy feeling. Won't go into details but my story didn't end as nice.

Oh, how I love Banff - that first image is amazing! Great work.
WOW, that first image. Brilliant.
You killed it! Amazing!
You killed it! Amazing!
The first picture just blew my mind right away! Incredible!
I had the pleasure of photographing a Chubachi wedding last summer so I can attest to what wonderful people they are and what a wonderful family and group of friends they have! Your images are lovely, beautiful, emotional.. I could go on!!
Glorious! Not a word I use often, but it totally works here. Loving being subscribed to your blog via googlereader, as you are rocking it hard this year!

So wonderful. I've been waiting for months for this post! When Luke & Sacha told us you guys were shooting their wedding, we were crazy stoked for them, and knew that the result would be magic. We have been very lucky to meet these two, and you absolutely captured their amazingness. P.S. I took the shot that graces the Jones soda bottle ;)
Epic landscape shots!!! Love the ring shot too!
that location is unreal. beautiful beautiful job! :)
Hotness!
