Real Wedding Photos: Sarah + Ben | The Sweetest Occasion

I know it has been a while since I’ve featured a real wedding and, honestly, that has actually been pretty intentional. See, this year I sort of re-committed to myself that I would only post what I was passionate about, things that I love and can’t stop thinking about. And frankly, there are so many amazing wedding blogs that feature stunning real weddings and do it so well that often I feel I’m better of leaving that arena to those ladies because they rock it and rock it so good. (So instead I talk to you about parties and DIY projects and wax poetic about shoes, because I like to think I’m good at that.) But today I’m making an exception. (And I know I’ll make more in the future, too!) And I’m making that exception because I am so enamored with Sarah and Ben’s wedding and the stunning images from Summer Street Photography that captured the day.

Sarah and Ben celebrated their marriage with the most intimate of affairs. Just 21 guests converged at The Inn at Castle Hill on the Crane Estate with grounds so gorgeous you’d think you’d been whisked away to Europe somewhere. The ceremony started with the sound of the wind gently moving hand bells that guests held and the evening boasted a beautiful sunset and heartfelt toasts. Not to mention, a delicious foodie-approved dinner catered by Fireside Catering. And this, friends, is why I love this wedding. Because it’s so simple and so beautiful that it really does take your breath away. Or, at least, it takes away mine.
