How stunning does our bride Sarah O'Shea - Anderson look!

It's been a busy couple of days! So to kick off, here's a little sneak peek from Gary and Sarah's perfect day on Friday. 🥰

Capturing a wedding for a friend somehow hits different, so massive congratulations to these guys. They were so much fun to work with... in the park after the ceremony, you could easily find us by following the sound of laughter! 😍
