Timeless. Beautiful. Classic. Heartfelt.
Suzanne & Matt's wedding were all of these things and so much more. To say I was looking forward to this wedding is an understatement. My sweet friend Maeghan introduced me to this couple and when Suzanne told me they were having their reception at the World's Fair Pavilion - where I was married 8 years ago - I just wanted the day to hurry up and get here.
The day started out with the girls getting ready. My trusty sidekick Liz was there to capture these amazing images.

I love this picture of Suzanne's mom gazing at her daughter. You can see where Suzanne gets her beauty. And grace.

Hello Mr. Choo.


In the meantime, I was hanging with the fellas at the reception site. And even though there were a lot of them, they were the most cooperative groomsmen ever. Gold stars for all of 'em!



Dashing.

Suzanne did not want to see Matt before the ceremony, so once the guys were finished, she came swooping in with the ladies. I really could have taken the whole day photographing Suzanne. Here's why:

And off to the church.


And the two best reactions ever. Like EVER. #1:

And #2:!



And even though the wedding coordinator was chaperoning us the whole time, I got my 10, really 5 minutes I needed right after the ceremony to get the husband + wife shots. Oh yeah, and the sun was going down. :)


The WFP. Just like I remember.





Cheers! Suzanne & Matt, I wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy. Thank you for taking me back to a place so special to my heart. I know it will mean the same to you both from now until, well, forever.
