There some venues that just take your breath away… Tara and Matt’s venue was one of those venues. From the moment we arrived, I was (like usual) getting nervous about all that we could accomplish here! The house, the driveways lined with trees changing colors and spectacular views were just amazing and I knew it was going to be the start of a beautiful day!! Matt and Tara went to CNU and so we have mutual friends that attended their wedding. We love these weddings! It’s such a win-win for us! We get to photograph a couple that we know AND we get to hangout with friends from school!! We love our job!! Throughout the day, there was a constant theme that seemed to float around conversations and toasts about the new Mr. and Mrs. Hayes.
The reoccurring comment about Matt and Tara was that they were both constant, loyal, and genuine friends to everyone in their life. My favorite part of the day was hearing friends and family stand up at their reception and just praise and encourage them with such kind words. That’s so good for the soul to openly express how incredible your best friends are and thank them for being there for you. I have noticed more and more that I enjoy the toasts at weddings because that is when you really get to see what kind of a couple they are. Tara’s maid of honor mentioned that Tara always told her to “Choose Joy” and I loved that! I’ve been reminding myself of that quote all week! We loved being a part of Matt and Tara’s wedding day and I can’t wait to show you their day from our perspective!! Enjoy!!!
