Allison + Matt – Paris, Texas Wedding
I don’t know if I have ever shot such an emotional wedding in my life. This at least ranks in the top 3. The fact that they were married in the church they met one another at as children speaks for itself. I’m not sure if there was a single person that didn’t at least tear up during Allison and Matt’s ceremony. I have known Matt and Allison since before they began dating. (You can read the story on their engagement session post.) Matt and Allison wrote letters to one another which the minister read aloud to everyone during the ceremony. They were amazing!!
Tiffany P (Smokin Hot) did an amazing job with Allison’s hair and makeup.. (of course!) ..and she looked beautiful!!! :) It was SO hot on their wedding day so we ended up snapping a few quick shots outside after their first look, and then back inside to cool back down. Allison (AND Haley) ;) have been waiting for this blog since the wedding day, so I’m so happy to finally get it up on the blog!
Allison and Matt, I am SOO happy for you guys!! I can’t wait to see how God blesses your marriage!! Love you guys!!
Tiffany working her MAGIC! Allison had the biggest smiles all day. She has been planning this day for AWHILE! :)
Just a little tiny bit of eye shadow for the flower girl. :) (She was VERY excited about this.)
LOVE. :)
Instead of cakes, Allison and Matt each had a table of their favorite sweets.. made by the AMAZING staff at Catering 4 You. I LOVE working with these guys.
The groomsmen had a little surprise. The first 3 grooms men had a GAG ring (including the enormous rock that the best man is holding in this picture) and even a ring pop. ;) The 4th grooms men had the actual ring.
;)
See them scatter..?? ;)
Allison saying goodbye to her mom before heading off to the honeymoon. :)
I LOVE this!! :)
Of course Matt and Allison didn’t get to leave that easy. After driving AROUND the 4 watermelons the groomsmen had placed under each tire on Allison’s car, and as they were about to pull out of the parking lot, a groomsman POPPED up out of the back of her car and almost gave Allison a heart attack. Matt made a quick circle and pulled back up to the sidewalk to let the groomsmen off before leaving for a second time. ;)
