My second shooter, Kris, and I arrived at the wedding venue at 1:30.  Everyone was getting ready at the Catholic school located right next to the church.  The girls were in one classroom, and the boys in another.  Everyone was so sweet and laid back.  We while the girls were doing make up touch ups and hanging out, Kris and I took the detail shots.  Everything was soooo pretty! :)

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Matthias Campbell... :)

After the ceremony we took some family pictures and pictures of the wedding party all together.

This was followed by pictures of the bride and groom.  

The reception started at 6.   It was located in the catholic school basement.  Everything here was equally as gorgeous as the rest!  Kris and I kept talking about the decorations!  So many great ideas!!  

Next came the toasts from bridesmaid Alyssa and best man Zack.

First dance as a married couple followed by father/daughter and mother/son dances.

Next came the bouquet and garter tosses.  Clara was so excited lol!  So was the little guy that caught the garter (but I don't know his name).

This was my far my favorite cake cutting I have taken so far!  They were so funny!  :)

Congratulations Matthias & Olivia!  Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of your day!  I am so excited for you guys and  wish you both a lifetime of happiness! :)
