Weddings

Matt + Libby

filed in:

I arrived while hair and makeup was finishing up with the bridesmaids. Everyone looked so beautiful and the room was so relaxed and stress free. The door leading out to the porch was cracked and the windows were open to let the crisp October air in. It was the perfect day for a wedding. When couples plan for an October wedding, this is what they hope for! Sunny and 70 degrees!! Matt and Libby have been together for a long time and so this day has been anticipated for a while now! I just loved seeing everyone’s excitement for these newlyweds!! Matt and Libby are such a dream couple. We needed to get all of their portraits accomplished before the ceremony since the sun set at 6:30 and they were such pros at moving fast! Not only did we shoot some beautiful portraits of the two of them, we took some IN a bean field!! These two were up for anything and we just love that about them! 

Their friends and family came from all over the celebrate alongside of them at the beautiful Historic Kent Manor Inn. This was our first time shooting at this awesome waterfront venue and we loved it! The water, the trees, the fields, the porches! There are SO many porches! It was a photographers dream!! And not only did they have an awesome venue, their other vendors were awesome as well! We loved getting to work alongside ClickSpark and they actually have a little preview to share at the end of the post! I can’t WAIT to see the entire film!!! So enjoy this pretty fall wedding! It’s hard to believe but we only have TWO MORE left this year!!!

Congratulations to Matt and Libby! Safe travels this week to your amazing European honeymoon!! You’re going to have a blast!!! xoxo

Purple shoes!! Love it!  I’m just warning you now, I went a little crazy on the details! Petal and Print always knocks it out of the park with their florals!  I like styling details but I think Michael is pretty good at it too!!! Youtubing how to tie a bowtie!
