kelly & matt...

I connected with Kelly right away during our first meeting when she talked about how much she loves photography and how she and her mom spend hours making scrapbooks. So I knew going into this wedding how important the pictures would be...

And it was a pleasure to shoot...both families and all of their friends brought such great energy to the day! So much joy and celebrating!




the first meeting...





matt is a quiet soul but he knew how to work the pictures...









these girls had sass!





matt presented the guys with personalized pocket watches...love it!

another favorite grandpa...workin' the aviator glasses!







matt has a delightful habit of sticking out his tongue when having his picture taken. kelly and her parents decided to turn the table on him...

such a sweet mother daughter relationship...









matt, his brothers, and dad were rockin' these amazing black cowboy boots...

the one detail matt was REALLY excited about was wearing his black hat to the reception and making their entrance to a lil' johnny cash...

a fun little detail that my second shooter jill devries captured...













kelly and matt...THANK YOU for a great day! it was such a delight to witness your celebration and capture so many beautiful moments!

and i can't wait to see the "volumes" of scrapbooks that you will produce!!!
