Saturday marked our very first wedding of 2016 and I can honestly say that it was one for the record books! Kelly and Matt met at work, became friends, and fell in love. They tied the knot at the Newton White Mansion in Mitchellville on one of the prettiest February days that I’ve ever seen. Sixty-five degrees and sunny.
One of my favorite parts of the wedding day was when Matt saw Kelly in her dress for the very first time. He was overjoyed and when you catch a glimpse of his beautiful bride you’ll understand why. Kelly looked absolutely gorgeous. (Seriously drop-dead gorgeous!) You could see how much heart that she put into each and every details. The bridesmaids each had fur jackets and the groomsmen rocked custom engraved bats. The florals by her friend and talented planner, Charlotte Jarrett, were breathtaking. I’ll stop rambling and let y’all get to the good stuff!
Congratulations newlyweds!
Thank you for giving me the honor + privilege of being your wedding photographer!
