tatum & matt are married!

we first met tatum & matt when they were both in kyle & chris’s bridal party- i love this small world! and what’s more, we use a copy of kyle & chris’s wedding album to show clients our album style at meetings so, after a year or so of seeing tatum & matt’s smiling faces, i pretty much felt that we’d known them forever! …something i had to reign in when we met with them because in reality, i’d only met them once…over a year ago. ;) but that’s just how tatum & matt make you feel. we talked with them about everything- houses, garden plans, pets, work…everything! they are just down to earth folks- easy to talk to and feel comfortable around. and together? they are a wonderful couple- fun and quick to laugh with one another- i’m so glad they trusted us to capture every special moment of their wedding!

tatum & matt decided to have a private moment to see one another before the ceremony. i love tatum’s smile as all traces of nervousness vanish when she sees matt. i understand moments like this before the ceremony aren’t right for everyone but, in many cases, it is perfect:

after their beautiful ceremony we headed to st. ives country club for their reception fun to begin! but first, a few quick portraits before the party really started!

it’s rare that a couple knows exactly what to do when it comes time to cut the cake. but it really is as simple as it sounds! pick up a knife or just grab a fork and feed one another little bites of cake, easy! but don’t worry if things don’t go perfectly according to plan…like when tatum & matt had a huge boulder of a piece fall onto their plate! i love their faces here:

their massive leftovers:   ;)
tatum & matt, huge congratulations to you on your new marriage and on having an awesome wedding to celebrate it! we loved that we were able to be there and capture sweet moments for you. we wish you the best!
