Matthew and Natalie had a beautiful, traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. I loved how the Priest based his homily on the word: JOY.

J for Jesus, O for Others, and Y for You.

It’s so fitting because Matthew and Natalie so evidently put JESUS at the center of the relationship and at the forefront of their lives, they put OTHERS first and are compassionate and giving, and they just became a “YOU” as they joined their two lives into one. “Joy” was also a perfect word to describe the whole day. Matthew and Natalie are some of the sweetest, most joyful people, and it was no surprise that everyone that they are surrounded by are just as joyful and wonderful!

We had way too much fun on the party bus with the bridal party (see pics for clarification!), and their reception was an absolute riot, as well. The party was hosted at the beautiful Scottish Rite Cathedral and was beautifully designed with extraordinary class and simple elegance.

The evening was filled with heartfelt toasts, sentimental dances, lots of laughter and joy, and epic dance moves that resulted in ripped pants. It was an unforgettable evening celebrating these two.

Matt & Nat - thank you so much for choosing me to capture this joyful celebration! Your wedding day filled my own heart with so much joy and I cherish the memories made with you and your families. You two are a light in this world, and I know the love you share will impact so many others for generations to come!
”May the world forever be a better place because the two of you fell in love.”
