Several months ago I was contacted by a woman asking for information about wedding photography. A few emails and one follow-up phone call later and I felt like I’d bumped into a long lost friend. Lexi just has that amazing personality where you instantly feel like you must know her from somewhere because she’s so warm and friendly. A few long off topic chats and we were in business to take care of her wedding day photos. Lexi’s unique personality carried over into her wedding and made it one of the most memorable wedding’s I’ve had the honor to photograph yet.
Would you believe me if I told you she did this bouquet herself? Isn’t it fantastic?
And the guys. Being guys. Trying to figure out where their socks escaped to.
Never mind the socks. The Groom and this guy actually managed to somehow put on the wrong jackets without anyone noticing until it was picture time. Whoops. Speaking of picture time, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I told them to act a little goofy but it works just the same!
Matt and Lexi opted to do a First Look before the ceremony in order to ensure they had plenty of time for some portraits of the two of them together. Since the ceremony was going to start at 7pm it would be too dark afterward to do much for long. I just love the way they look at each other.
Once again, I know I’ve said this to many of you in the past, but I really have to say that your relationship with your wedding photographer should be easy and natural. You should *get* each other. And the day of the wedding it should feel like your best friend from elementary school just showed up. Because when I have that connection with a client, great things happen on their wedding day.
They danced. A lot. I might have even joined them once or twice.
The tent was in the middle of a field under the stars. It was perfect. Just amazingly perfect start to finish.
Matt & Lexi, I’m so incredibly happy for you two. It was just an outstanding honor to be witness to the start of your new lives together with your family. I am touched by the love you two share and I’m excited to see what life has in store for you yet.
