Lisa & Matt - a few wedding day highlights


Lisa and Matt knew exactly who they wanted to photograph their wedding, and made certain to book us well in advance of their big day. They wanted all the traditional pictures a wedding day demands , but also wanted pictures that reflected their playfulness and love they have for each other. I think everyone was satisfied in the end, and it was quite an honor to be part of their wedding. Thank you Lisa and Matt!
