Janet + Matt

Wedding
March, 2024

The setting couldn’t have been more perfect for Matt and Janet’s special day. Though outside it was rainy and misty, nothing could overshadow the uptown wedding about to unfold at the Belk Chapel. Anticipation filled the air, and we turned our attention from the weather to the beautiful moments that were about to happen. The nerves and excitement were growing, and it all came to a peak at their first look. As Janet approached from behind, Matt turned, and his breath caught in his throat. Tears welled up in his eyes as he beheld his beautiful bride, the love of his life, in her stunning gown.

Their emotions spilled over again during the ceremony. Janet walked down the aisle, flanked by her proud sons, the love and joy in the moment touched the hearts of every guest there. Tears of happiness shone in her eyes, mirroring Matt’s face during their first look.

Following the heartfelt ceremony, Matt and Janet drove over to their relaxed and intimate reception at Bentley’s, a beautiful restaurant fit for an uptown wedding. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they celebrated their union in style.

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was cozy and vibrant. With soft lighting and and all of their loved ones around them, the ambiance perfectly complemented the joyous occasion. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the reception, they still found moments of serenity and connection, strolling hand in hand through the illuminated streets of uptown. Savoring the magic of their wedding day under the twinkling lights.

As the night came to a close around this lovely uptown wedding, I felt incredibly lucky to have been there to capture every moment. Janet and Matt, thank you for letting me be a part of your big day, for trusting me to freeze those precious memories in time. From Matt’s face when seeing his bride for the first time, to the heartwarming sight of Janet being walked down the aisle by her sons, and the way they both danced their hearts out at the reception – it was all so beautiful.
