Sarah Mahen Photographers

I had the distinct pleasure of doing a little photo shoot with my dear friend Beth Baugher of True Love Photo yesterday. She was shooting some images for Miosa Bridal and I stopped by to pick up a light, and ended up staying and working with her for the whole day! It was so much fun photographing the amazing dresses and these beautiful flowers provided by Blooms by Martha. There is more to come from this shoot… I just had to share these flowers! I’m in love. Zebras and leopard prints together! Seriously, what’s not to love!

I am blessed to live across the street from my polling place, so this morning my mom came over and sat with Lauren as she slept and I walked over to exercise my right to vote. I walked across the street for the woman who fought through Suffrage to give me that privilege, for the men and woman who have died on battlefields to give me that privilege and I walked across the street and put pen to paper for my daughter who lay sleeping in her room. I want nothing more than to give her a country she can be proud to be a part of, to give her a future of hope in a world full of promise. Today I voted so that someday she can walk across the street and do the same.

Get out there and vote! And if you’re not registered for this election get registered for November. We CAN make a difference. The world CAN change. I know it.

I can’t even begin to say how excited I am to share these images with you. Jenny and Rhys are an amazing couple, with an amazing story and it was a joy and a half to photograph them.

Jenny and I grew up in the same home town. We went to the same school pretty much our whole lives. She was a grade ahead of me, but she was always brilliant and funny and I always liked her a lot. It’s no surprise to me that now as adults, I feel exactly the same way. And it is certainly no surprise at all that she fell in love with a guy as awesome as Rhys.

These two met while backpacking in Belize, and even though Jenny was from the States and Rhys from the UK they made it work and this August will be getting married. It was so fun getting to see this happy pair together. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard on a shoot as I did with these two. They are so great together, and so much fun that it was just a blast to be around them.

It was so great to see Jenny and meet Rhys while they were here from London over the holidays. I can’t wait for your big day in August! It’s going to be incredible! A special thanks to my beloved friend Karlene for letting Jenny and Rhys know about my little photography hobby. Perhaps we should carpool to the wedding?
