“What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories”
Lindsay and Matt know how to go big on a party. From the classic cocktails, to the incredible DJs to knife fighting among the groom's party before the ceremony and Spice Girls jam sessions in the Bride's suite; they and their wedding party are there to have a good time. We had so much fun capturing the big day.
The Oaks at Salem was, of course, the perfect backdrop, and no one could have ordered a better weather forecast. It was like a fairy tale.
When Lindsay's mom and dad shared advice for her during the first look, we all got a little teary eyed and everyone in the bride's party spoke from the heart as they recalled fun stories and shared what they admired about their friend.
Lindsay and Matt wrote a special note to little Eva to carry with her in the flower basket, and to one day use for her "something blue" if she wishes. She promptly dropped it on the ground which made everyone laugh, but we all knew how very special it was, and she will too some day. :)
The Oaks really does have an incredible backdrop for portraits, any time of the day. Such a beautiful venue.
I'm pretty sure I ate three entire bowls of m&ms by myself during the reception, it's now officially my favorite wedding favor. :)
The choreographed dances had everyone smiling, nothing beats a solid dip...except maybe dad throwing money at the bride :)
Thank you guys for letting us be a part of your day!! We had an incredible time!!
Hope you enjoy Saint Lucia!!
