Hello and Happy New Year!!!
Or, Groundhog’s Day as the case may be. I hope everyone is having a great winter. I love winter because I actually have time to cook, exercise a bit, and (gasp!) read a book!!!
Allison and Matt had a beautiful January day for their wedding. It was the anniversary of their first date. These two are just adorable, as you will see in these photos! They planned the wedding from New Jersey, so I only met them on their big day.
I started with the girls who were getting ready in Allison’s grandmother’s house. She had her old, new, borrowed, & blue! The headpiece was her grandmother’s, and you have to love the purple uggs!!!
I arrived at the church and checked in on Matt who was all alone waiting for the ceremony to start. I always feel bad when the groom is on is own like that!!! Matt didn’t seem to mind, and was keeping his cool.
There were so many little personal touches throughout the day….and always in purple and orange! (so close to MY colors….right?!) The wands had ribbons and bells and were for their big exit.
Allison and her dad….and Matt’s reaction. Seriously…so sweet!!!
This church was also the church where Allison’s grandparents and parents got married. Allison sent me a scan of one of her parents’ wedding proofs and asked if I could get a similar picture. Well, any of you that know me know that I LOVE this kind of stuff!!! If there had been an aisle runner and they hadn’t changed the stain on the woodwork, this would be perfect!! {even so, it’s still pretty good, if I do say so myself….}
This church had the SQUEAKIEST floorboards known to man, but I tried to keep a low profile as best I could.
Married!!!
We went right to the Neighborhood Club after the ceremony and got some great shots. Not everything has to be in sunshine on the beach!!!
Allison and Matt love to cook, so the favors were all different cooking tools (in purple and orange, of course!) attached to some of their favorite recipes.
They are also huge hockey fans, so made their entrance in to the tune of “Welcome to the Jungle” wearing jerseys with their wedding date on them!
Something tells me Allison and Matt will appreciate this (not-so-hidden) Mickey!!! :)
Matt gave all the groomsmen custom cufflinks as groomsmen gifts, love it! As you can see, Greg Hodges did an awesome job of packing the dance floor, as usual!
And could this little one be any more charming? I don’t think so.
Congratulations Allison and Matt! Thanks so much for including me in your day – I wish you lots of love and pixie dust!! :)
