Natalie & Matt; August 3, 2012

There are just some weddings that really stay with you.  Natalie and Matt's beautiful August wedding is one that will stick with us for awhile.  When I first met Natalie and Matt they told me that were high school sweethearts.  We started going over the details of their big day I knew that this wedding was going to be special.  The wedding ceremony and reception was located at Scioto Reserve which provided a stunning backdrop for this lovely day.  Natalie and Matt had tons of great touches that made the day not only special for them but also for their friends and family.  There were wonderful surprises like a bagpiper which lead Natalie and Matt down the aisle after saying their "I do's" and a group of Irish Step Dancers who preformed during the reception. The band Red Hot Rhythm Review provided the amazing music that kept the guests dancing  all night.  Below are just a few of my favorite photos from this awesome day!

Natalie & Matt chose to see each other before walking down the aisle.  This is the moment when Matt turned around and saw his beautiful bride for the first time!  

Matt was such an easy, natural groom to photograph.  And because of his ease we were able to capture some really nice portraits of him like the one above.

What can we say about this photo of Natalie?  Just a glowing, beautiful bride!

The happy couple together. 

These are some of my favorite reception shots.  Everyone was so happy to celebrate with Natalie and Matt and there were just so many smiling faces! 

Congratulations Natalie & Matt!  Many happy years to come!
