I have SO many pictures in my Sarah and Tom folder! Normally I’m not with the bride and groom for the whole week prior to the wedding, so I definitely took a few more shots than normal — so much so that I am going to separate this into a couple different posts. Here we go with the pre-wedding activities — rehearsal dinner, rehearsal, finalizing preparations etc. I’ve been working on photos all day, first Jessie and Jim, and I’m just now finishing these up. So I’ll probably post Sarah and Tom’s main event pics tomorrow!

We went over to Sarah’s house a few days before to work on programs and finalize a few details. I mostly took pictures since I kind of stunk at being crafty. Bridesmaid FAIL. :P

But hey, at least I’m kinda funny.

Sarah was concerned that Tom wasn’t taking table decorations seriously enough. :)

So she showed him how to do it.

And all was well in the world.

Laura rocked at all crafts and wedding related tasks. Maid of Honor WIN.

Laura also took these adorable pictures of Sarah and Tom that were used on the table markers!

One day we went to check out the reception place. Seba grabbed a couple shots of Sarah and I walking around Windmill Island.

We also headed over to the church to move plants and take care of last minute details. This is my, “Seba, you BETTER not be taking a picture of me right now,” face.

And Sarah picked up their marriage license.

We got pedicures:

Seba took this of all of us when he picked me up!

Then we rehearsed.

Well, Seba rehearsed sitting down and looking handsome while I rehearsed taking pictures. :)

Pastor Ted made the magic happen.
