I first met Hadley and Matt at their engagement session in Saratoga last summer (see their engagement session here). I’ve been looking forward to this wedding because they are the sweetest couple. Despite me yelling (not really) at Matt throughout some of the portrait time to stop talking for a second so I can get the shot, I love how they are so in love and so connected that they are always talking to each other.
We started their wedding celebration by having a first look for Hadley and her dad (and family dog Lola). Her dad was just the sweetest as he got emotional seeing Hadley. Lola was so excited running around wanting to smell everyone and everything!
Both Hadley and Matt had so many nerves the morning of their wedding, I was so glad that they decided to do a first look. Having a first look calms any anxiety you may be feeling as you get to see your future husband/wife and sure enough, after they saw each other, they became more relaxed and able to enjoy the rest of the day stress free. Matt presented Hadley with a beautiful bouquet during their first look, what a gentleman!!!
Following their first look we were able to get bridal party portraits done and saved the bride/groom photos for later, during their reception, when the sun went down a little.
Hadley and Matt opted for a candy bar (everyone’s favorite dessert choice!) and a beautiful cake.
Guests enjoyed the reception with music provided by DJ Mike Garrasi from Music Man Entertainment.
What a beautiful day!
Hadley and Matt, wishing you many years of happiness!!! I hope you look back at these photos for years to come and remember the magic of your day!
Thank you to all of the vendors who helped make this day the best day for Hadley and Matt! I enjoyed working with all of you!!
