I mentioned a couple of posts ago, that Sarah and John were married in Texas in the fall of last year. For family and friends who were not able to make it to their wedding, they held a second reception in Butler on Valentine’s Day. It was a Sunday evening reception and it made for a special way to celebrate the holiday with their friends and family.

Sarah carried a simple and elegant bouquet of red and white roses.

Their cookie table did not disappoint. There were plenty of scrupmtious treats and it was tough to choose!

This sweet flower girl is signing their “guest plate,” a more functional alternative to the usual book.

Here’s the happy couple in between welcoming their guests to the reception.

It’s easy to see how Sarah and her little girl adore one another.

Sarah’s a natural beauty and looks stunning in her white fur stole.

They had all of the traditional elements of a wedding reception and were announced into the room, toasted by several loved ones, and shared a first dance and father/daughter and mother/son dances.

Did I mention that Sarah’s from Texas? Check out the cowgirl boots she’s rocking under her dress.

Their cup cakes were delicious. I usually don’t get a chance to eat cake, but when my job was done at the close of the reception, I couldn’t resist helping myself.

Thanks again Sarah and John! It was so much fun to photograph your Pa. reception!
