Oklahoma Heritage Museum // Crown Heights Christian Church // Sarah & Aaron

Event Design: Little Surprises Design | Rebecca Thai
Floral Design: Oh So Blush | Rebecca Thai
Venue: Crown Heights CC | Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum
Cake: Michelle Handy
Dress: Amsale | NYC

I have become a fan of cloning if I could clone Sarah after working with her for her wedding. She called me a while back and said she LOVED my work and went on to describe just why. (gush gush) Then I asked her, "so what are your thoughts, are you interested in going forward?" She replied "um, here's my credit card number" After checking her wedding blog called "Pugnacious Me" (ha!) and tweeting back and forth, (like me, the fastest way to her attention is a "D sarahtsolomon") it has been a pleasure.

She and Aaron got married in charming Crown Heights in a stylish classic setting and then ramped it up with a clean and modern reception at Oklahoma Heritage Museum. In case you don't know this place, it is the perfect balance between Oklahoma Heritage (classic old building) that has been infused with art gallery style. Rebecca Thai designed the event with sleek glass vases and her signature floral spheres and highlighted the night with a cake suspended/ floating over crystal beads.

Beyond the beautiful style of the decor, Sarah & Aaron had the perfect balance between throwing a killer party for family and friends and really being in love in the moment. (Not to mention they look like European models so not bad to photograph)

I hope you enjoy. I would love to hear your favorites!



Pearls, copious pearls...


I have no idea what is going on here :)

Right here, Aaron is just going all GQ cover on me.

Sarah works for a PR firm and advises and implements social media for them. So unlike so many people I have heard who say "I don't get Twitter" She gets it! She and Aaron tweeted their vows just after the ceremony. It was cool to see all the #sarahaaronwed posts throughout the day. Her dad even welcomed people at the reception to "Hash Tag Sarah Aaron Wed" ha ha!






























Rebecca Thai (Little Surprises Event Design) came up with this unique and very cool "floating cake" idea.





Sarah's Dad (@elsol) is one of the all time cool dads. He's a blast, loving, quite intelligent (head of PR I think for AT&T) and since he works for AT&T, I think hes the first dad that I have given more money to than he has to me ;) -JK


I think the caption for this image should be obvious!









A few favs from their "Day After Shoot". Sarah & Aaron stopped back in OKC on their way back from San Francisco to Dallas. They were so relaxed and we got to get creative with some midday light in ways we weren't able to on the wedding day.
