Matt & Kadie‘s ceremony was beautiful, just like the two of them. Here are some of my favorite photos from it.The way they looked at each other…Dip that girl, Matt! :)Oh yes.Haha! Loved this.When we were walking out to take their portraits, Matt got Kadie a cup of water and I said something like, “Oh, look at you being a sweet husband.” And Matt was all, “HUSBAND! Yeahhh! I’m your husband, Kadie!” So cute. :)We’re down to just a couple of posts from this fab wedding. Stay tuned…

I mean, these nephews at Matt & Kadie’s wedding were just too cute not to share. :) Kadie’s nephew was the adorable ring bearer, and Matt’s nephew was a super stud poser during the family pix, as you can see in the photo above. I have three nephews myself, so I love seeing the bonds being formed here. So sweet!His face when he looked at his aunt in her wedding dress! #meltmyheartOh man. Those freckles and eyelashes!Coming up next, the ceremony photos…

Kadie’s sisters were part of her group of beautiful bridesmaids. I love the shot above of just the three of them. Then we had to include their brother Foster. {He’s always a good model for me, as demonstrated in his senior pix. :)}I also loved this pic of Matt and his sisters. So sweet.Next up, a few pix of the cutie nephews… :)

Kadie was a stunning bride. In her lace dress, with her dark, loose curls covered by her lace-trimmed veil, she was the perfect picture of relaxed elegance. Honestly, I could have taken photos of her and her beautiful bridesmaids all day!

I very much appreciated the chill vibes in the girls getting ready room. It’s always fun seeing the whole process of a bridal party getting dolled up. I’m an avid fan of beauty anything {fashion mags, YouTube makeup tutorials, Pinterest hair inspiration, all of that}, so being in on this behind-the-scenes part of the wedding day is pretty cool.Kadie was a low maintenance bride who did her own hair and makeup quite beautifully. She has perfected that glamorous loose curl hair, hasn’t she?It was such a cute moment when Kadie, surrounded by her girls, opened her present from Matt.Once everything and everyone was looking perfect, we headed outside for portraits. The sky had gotten moody, which gave us some lovely diffused lighting for these pretty ladies.Kadie casually slayed for her portraits alone.These girls know how to werk it.All the shimmery dresses, all the shiny smiles. :)After we headed back inside, the girls took a quiet moment to pray before the ceremony.Such a special moment during a gorgeous day. More to come this week…

I first met Matt when he came to be an intern for our youth program at my church. We hit it off immediately, as we bonded over having both been homeschool kids. :) Matt is quick to laugh and loves making others laugh as well {especially his bride, Kadie}. It was fun hanging with him and his guys on his wedding day. The groomsmen always provide lots of funny, lighthearted moments for me!

I loved this sign Kadie’s sister painted for the groom’s getting ready room.The perfect gift from the bride!The guys really dug their groomsmen gifts. I’m telling you, they were excited!I am a huge fan of grey suits on guys for wedding days. Don’t they look sharp?Next up, in this ongoing saga: the lovely ladies! Stay tuned…
