Sarah + Corey: June 20, 2026

Our summer of love continues as we got to celebrate Sarah + Corey becoming husband and wife back in June! They married at Sarah’s home church, but prepared for the day and later held their reception at beautiful Gibbs Manor in Sylvania. Sarah thoughtfully curated every detail, right down to the gifts she gave her bridesmaids and family. It was an honor to witness this love story come to fruition, and we were honored that Sarah + Corey chose us to capture their wedding day! Sarah chose simple white roses and babies breath for her bridal bouquet– a classic choice that paired perfectly with the rest of her timeless details. Sarah’s first look with her bridesmaids (and her little nieces) was so precious! Sarah wanted to do her first look with Corey on the bridge at the venue, and it was such a picturesque spot for this emotional moment. Sarah honored her aunt with a small photo attached to her bridal bouquet– one of the many thoughtful touches sprinkled throughout the day. This veil was made for spinning, twirling and flying through the air. It made for some of my favorite photos!The beautiful wedding party! Sarah + Corey opted for navy suits for the groomsmen and dusty pink dresses for the bridesmaids. Sarah had the best group of girls surrounding her on her big day! They supported her, prayed for her, and kept her relaxed all day. These photos perfectly sum up the day– full of laughter and joy!Sarah’s bridesmaids gifted her with a Bible with her new name on the cover, and prayed over it with her shortly before the ceremony began. Sarah + Corey invited everyone to join them in worship before beginning the wedding ceremony. As guests made their way outside the church, Sarah + Corey shared a private foot washing and a moment of quiet amongst the happy chaos. We made it back to Gibb’s Manor in time to catch a gorgeous sunset and capture a few more bride + groom portaits in the golden light. Walking into their forever…Marriage license signed and it’s officially official! Sarah + Corey, thank you so much for letting us be there to capture your big day. We loved getting to share in all the laughter and happy tears, and watch as prayers were answered. Congratulations to the new Mr. + Mrs. Payne!
