Hayley and Matt

I had been looking forward to Hayley and Matt's wedding for months! Hayley is a fellow wedding vendor, (Hayley Lauren Couture), but she is also my friend. I don't think there is a greater compliment than to have someone in this industry choose you for their own wedding. So, the pressure is definitely on when you are working for a vendor and a friend. :) I had so much fun and I think Olyn and I got some great images!

I don't think I have ever taken as many dress shots as I did for Hayley-- could there be a more important detail of her day?
Matt and Hayley have known each other since they were basically kids-- He gave her this guardian angel charm when she was only 13. She wore the charm as a bracelet on a ribbon. Flowers by Vince did an absolutely amazing job with all the arrangements. I love how everything felt so seasonal-- the fresh daffodils and tulips really added to the spring feeling.I wouldn't exactly call Matt camera-shy... more like camera disgruntled. He absolutely hates having ANY photos taken, so it was a definite challenge. :) It became fun by the end as we harrassed one another-- me begging him to be in a shot, him threatening to do horrible things to my car. :)

I love this shot of Matt waiting for the ceremony to begin.
The light was absolutely beautiful as Hayley and her dad came down the aisle.
The ceremony was incredibly sweet and intimate with a lot of personal touches.After the ceremony, Hayley and Matt walked back down the aisle and into some amazing light. I got some of my favorite images of the day as they walked away.
The formals went amazingly well, with this probably being the biggest smile I could get out of Matt.Getting Hayley to smile was easy.Probably my favorite shot of Hayley was one she said made her feel "goofy"... I think the end result is anything but it!Hayley has such an attention to detail and such a sense of fun-- I loved her whimsical centerpieces. Each goldfish had a name and a story and the guests could adopt them at the end of the night.
The tent looked awesome, with pink rose chandaliers hanging from the ceiling. One of Matt's sweet moments as the prayer was said for dinner.Another amazing creation by Myra Jean!I love this shot, probably my favorite of the entire day-- and it was Olyn's. :)One of the cutest farewells I have ever seen, Hayley and Matt were showered by confetti poppers as they ran out of the reception.
