Sarah & Ryan’s wedding day seemed to move like a rapidly passing storm, which is entirely appropriate considering it threatened to thunderstorm. When we arrived at the Chateau Hathorn, Sarah and Ryan had some private time arranged for photography, and they got to spend that time seeing one another before the ceremony and taking some natural but fashionable portraits together. We LOVED this segment of the day. We did get a little rain, but it didn’t at all temper Sarah’s spirits; she was having too much fun with her friends and family for it to really matter, and Ryan was as cool as could be. Once the clouds lifted, they had a heart-moving outdoor ceremony. Tears rolled down Sarah’s cheeks as she read her vows to Ryan.
Near the end of the reception, Sarah & Ryan invited us upstairs for another brief impromptu photo shoot with them in the coziness of their overnight room. We think they’re going to love the results and the emotion displayed in their photos, and we can’t wait to share them.
Sarah and Ryan, thank you so much for allowing us to be such an integral part of the day. We appreciate the first-rate service afforded us at the lovely Chateau Hathorn, as well. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Their complete gallery will be available upon their return from their honeymoon. You’ll find it in the “Client Proofs” section of our main website. Until then, enjoy this brief slideshow of images from their wedding by clicking on the “PLAY” button.

Ulysses - Patti & Carrie, this is exactly one of the reasons we enjoy posting a little preview like this. We had many individuals from far away who were not able to attend our own wedding, but being able to share some photos in this way is the next best thing to actually being there. 🙂
Mr. & Mrs. Hartigan, you are truly blessed parents. One of the things that stood out to us about Sarah and Ryan is that they are truly different in their outlook on life and in their ready openness in accepting such a wide variety of friends into their lives. Their wedding was just as colorful and enjoyable as they themselves are. It made the day a treasured experience for myself and Jenni.
We’re glad you’re enjoying this little “teaser”. Believe me, the best are yet to come! 🙂June 10, 2007 – 10:20 AM
Mom and Dad Hartigan - What gorgeous pictures as a tease to all that’s to come! We are extremely delighted to have Sarah join our family, as we are to have Ryan be our son…how many blessings we wish for BOTH of you! Looking forward to seeing all the other photos and watching the years unfold!
