Well Matthew and Rachel’s June wedding really could not have been more perfect. A little heat is better than rain and it was summer after all! Springfield Manor is such a gorgeous venue with lavender fields, a beautiful house and reception room, an elegant outdoor fountain, a peaceful front porch, perfect landscaping and a lovely arbor and outdoor ceremony space. When I arrived, Rachel was as calm as could be, enjoying her last few hours of being single with her closest friends. Her hair and make up were perfection thanks to Kimberly Grubbs and once she had her dress on – wow! She was stunning! Matthew couldn’t keep his eyes off her when she walked down the aisle on the arm of her proud father.

After a very touching and sweet ceremony performed by Ed Choy, we headed to the lavender fields with the bridal party for photos. I am in love with how they turned out. Everyone looked amazing and so happy for the new Mr. and Mrs. Lyons. The evening was perfect with guests enjoying cocktails on the venue grounds followed by a delicious dinner and ending with dancing accompanied by AJDJ Entertainment Services- these guests knew how to party! It was so much fun.

Having gotten to know Matthew and Rachel over the past year and a half, it was such an honor to be there to capture these timeless moments for them. They are such special people on their own but together they are an amazing couple. They are thoughtful, kind, grateful, caring and just fun to be around. I loved being there to celebrate with them.

Matthew and Rachel – I am so thrilled for you and wish you all the happiness you deserve!! XO
