Real Weddings: Bethany + Matt {continued}

Now to pick up where we left off...

Matt had met the lovely Bethany at the end of the boardwalk to escort her down the aisle. The day was perfect; crisp blue sky, cool ocean breeze...the setting was absolutely stunning as they exchanged vows and rings surrounded by friends, family and a few onlookers that got an added bonus along with their day at the beach...The Kiss...probably everyone's favorite part of every ceremony- the commitments have been made, the stress is over and the couple now begins their lives together with a sweet gentle kiss (awwwww...so romantic!)After the ceremony the wedding party and guests headed up to One Ocean Resortwhere Bethany and Matt greeted family and friends- plenty of hugs, kisses and admirers of Bethany's beautiful ring to go around.After traditional formals, we took the time to take some fun shots that really represented everyone's personality and joy of the day.Once in the ballroom for the reception, guests where greeted with personalized starfish placecards at their seats. I was so excited- There was one for me, too (Thank you Bethany + Matt, Hudson LOVES the starfish!).I was also excited to be sitting with Matt's parents, sister and this little cutie pie :)Bethany did such a great job with all the beautiful details surrounding their wedding...And perhaps my favorite detail of all was the cake topper- I honestly had to look at it a few seconds and really process it and then just rolled in laughter- How cute is that!!!

Bethany and Matt, thank you so very much for inviting me to be part of all your special details and most of all for being such a great couple- your love for one another is precious and reflects the love and support you have all around you from family and friends. Congratulations and we wish you all the best! XOXO

Engagement: Bethany + Matt

Do you remember the feeling you got when your first crush glanced your way??? The butterflies in your stomach, the struggle of hiding a huge smile and maintaining composure so you didn't just jump for joy and scream...yeah- that kind of feeling!Well, as many of us know that feeling only multiplies and intensifies when we have found our true love- except now you don't have to hold back the smiles or giggles anymore!Bethany and Matt have that kind of love- the kind that is clear from the moment you meet them! It is not only wonderful to see and experience in person but for it to also be present in every image...now that's when you know you have something special!Bethany and Matt will be getting married at One Ocean Resort on the Beach, so naturally that was the perfect location for their engagement session. But...before hitting the beach, we had a great time around town and even stopped to get take this fun image in front of Matt's favorite bar :)At first, Matt was a little shy about having his picture taken (I know- I was shocked, too!...he and Bethany are just gorgeous!!!). We could not help but laugh because with every click of the shutter Matt would have little sighs- lol! He was a trooper and before we knew it the little sighs had vanished completely and we where walking all over Atlantic Beach :)

As the afternoon began to fade we headed to the pier to wrap up on the beach- strolling through the water, writing in the sand, sneaking some kisses under the pier...and simply enjoying being together! The perfect ending to a wonderful day and a great way to begin the weekend...and as an added bonus Matt's birthday (Happy Birthday!!!)Bethany and Matt, Thank you both for such a wonderful time and for being soooo in love! It's always great to see how much couples love and adore each other and the two of you are no exception!
