Even though they had to postpone their wedding to later in the year, Molly and Johnny still wanted to tie the knot near their originally-planned date. With Pennsylvania loosening their restrictions earlier in the month, they decided to have an intimate backyard ceremony and celebration in Molly's aunt and uncle's backyard, surrounded by immediate family. In addition to providing the venue, Molly's aunt also put together the flowers for the bouquet and wedding cake (which was made by Molly's mother!). And to round out this all-family affair, the couple were married by Molly's cousin-in-law.
Amazing Mexican food was delivered from their favorite local restaurant, Al Pastor, and music was provided by Rad and Kell, very good friends of one of the bridesmaids.
It's an always an honor to be asked to document a couple's biggest day, but to do it under these unprecedented circumstances gives it a more special meaning.
Here is the wonderful review they wrote for me:
"My husband and I knew of Bryan Sargent through my brother and sister-in-law. He was the photographer for their wedding several years ago and his pictures were great. When we got engaged, he was one of the first vendors we contacted and signed a contract with and it was the best wedding-related decision we’ve made. He is professional, polite, and kind. He was always easy to communicate with and responded to emails timely. Our wedding was unfortunately postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We made the decision to have an intimate, backyard ceremony around our original wedding date and asked Bryan if he would be willing to shoot that day for us too. He was not only willing to commute out of state to where we were holding the ceremony, but took many precautions regarding safety, social distancing, and cleanliness while he was working. All of this makes for a professional and accommodating wedding vendor that anyone would want to work with. Bryan as a photographer though, in our opinion, is one of the best. His photos are beautiful, full of life and color. He has a real talent and an eye for photography that my whole family has come to admire. One thing I loved about my brother’s wedding photos was how he managed to capture the love and happiness from that day, all of that emotion is in those pictures. It was what I wanted for my own wedding pictures and Bryan 100% delivered. I am not the most photogenic person and can be very critical of myself in pictures, but I am so happy with how they came out and I think a lot of that has to do with Bryan. We are in love with our wedding pictures and they help us to remember what a wonderful day it was. We fully recommend Bryan Sargent Photography to anyone getting married and in need of a photographer. His work speaks for itself and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with!"
Congrats Molly and Johnny! I will see you very soon and we'll do it all over again!
