Rustic Charm at the Black Diamond Ranch | Sarah & Roger Sneak Peek
Black Diamond Ranch | Lecanto, Florida
This weekend we had the joy of shooting Sarah and Roger’s wedding at the is-this-a-dream gorgeous Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Sarah did an amazing job and with the help of Lauren Grove of The Design Grove coordinating, there was no detail that wasn’t absolutely beautiful. From DIY glittered pumpkins, to a barn window seating chart, to candlelit mason jars, to customized bottle cap magnets with the happy couple’s images inside! The morning before we left for the wedding I decided to check the mail and I found the sweetest note from Sarah. I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing a few lines from it because it just melted my heart and made both Nate and I so excited for the day ahead and so thankful for the amazing people that photography brings into our lives:
I can’t wait for Roger & I’s big day because I know you two will make it memorable! I’m so excited that we get to work with you! Photos were the most important part of the day for me, so I spent over a year looking for the perfect photographers. Your work is amazing and you really are one of a kind. I count myself blessed and lucky that we will be sharing our special day with you!
Sarah and Roger, we are the ones you count ourselves blessed and lucky! Thank you so much for treating us like part of your family the entire day! Thank you for gifting us 2 hours for portraits before the ceremony! Thank you for going on a mini adventure with us and finding cows, perfectly lit golden fields, strange rusted farm machinery, and lots of sandspurs. Thank you for trusting us and giving us such a big part of your day. We had so much fun. Your wedding was completely beautiful and I cannot wait to finish the rest of the pictures and show you what an amazing job you both did celebrating the perfect wedding. Enjoy these sneak peek frames. There will be lots more on the way soon…
Yes, this was in Florida. And yes, the view blew my mind.
Black Diamond Ranch’s famous limestone quarry…
I love two things most about this image. #1. The epic wind #2. The fact that Sarah was barefoot
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Becka & Nate: After seeing the sneak peek, we can’t wait to see the whole shebang! They are a beautiful couple, and Becka, Sarah is ALWAYS barefoot, that was a great shot!
Those group shots are phenomenal! Love the David Jay/ Jasmine Star inspired shot! ;)

Beautiful! I love the last one of the entire bridal party.
These are so great! I love the lighting with the sun, really spectaculor!
@Ashley HAHA! I don’t know. Maybe Sarah can answer that one for us.
Wow. I love this couple! Their engagement shoot was my favorite and now I am so eager to see more of their wedding. (Does Roger have a brother?! HAHA) But really, the pictures look amazing!!
@Lauren I just couldn’t narrow it down any further. I literally sat for 10 minutes staring at a bunch of frames open all at once before finally just deciding. HAHA.
