I had the blessed opportunity to document my friend Chelsea’s Wedding a couple of Saturday’s ago. It was great to see Chelsea marry Matt. They have such a fun love story. They had met at church and hanged out with the same group of friends. One of Matt’s friend, Daniel, just happens to be Chelsea’s brother. Needless to say they hanged out a lot. It took awhile, for Matt to finally as Chelsea out. On their first date, went to play disc golf...or is it Frisbee golf?? What fun right?!? So when they told me that were getting married where they had their first date, I was intrigued. I was looking forward to what the location would be like for their wedding day.

Needless to say, I was completely amazed. With all their family and friends, these two pulled off an amazingly beautiful DIY wedding in a forest! Seriously, gold, reds, white…a chandelier ! it was beautiful.

The things that I love about this wedding –

- The chandelier!!! – I know I keep mentioning it, but it really was cool to see. The ceremony area was so elegant with  the chandlier hanging down, and the long white muslins draping freely a across the trees.

• Chelsea’s Vintage lace wedding dress with gold overlays. She simply looked so elegant and beautiful.

• The white and gold with the pop of red everywhere was so eye catching. I loved the bridesmaid’s dresses, and their red mary jane pumps, the red and gold apples, red roses…and Chelsea sprayed her white roses gold! Her bouquet was so beautiful.

• I love Matt’s Reasons why he loves Chelsea.

• The giraffe and bird cake toppers…Matt loves giraffe’s and Chelsea’s nick name is “Birdie”

• Oh the best thing was that Matt and Chelsea had never kissed during their entire relationship. Their first kiss was going to be at the wedding. So yes, I definitely caught that FIRST kiss! After that first kiss, they couldn’t help but always touching lips the rest of the day!  So stinking cute! Love it!

There is so much more that I love about their wedding, but this would be the longest blog ever! So as I’m finishing up the last little edits from their wedding. Take a little peek of this beautiful day!

Congratulations Chelsea and Matt! May the Lord bless your marriage always!
