I can absolutely guarantee that unless you are family members of Abby or Matt, you have never seen a wedding like this before. If you are wondering how to include kids in your reception take notes from these guys. You know what, if you are hoping to have a reception that all<\/em> of your guests have a blast at, take notes from these two. There was never a dull moment with masked characters popping around every corner and choreographed dances to keep the party going. Seriously – I have seen the YMCA performed a bunch of times, but I know they will all be downhill after this wedding! I still wish that they guys wore their costumes for the rest of the night, but I guess I shouldn’t get greedy – so, SO good!!\u00a0I loved how when they couldn’t find a knife to cut the cake, without a beat, they both just grabbed their forks and dug in! Matt and Abby are in sync like that, and like I mentioned in their\u00a0engagement<\/a>\u00a0post, these two have such ridiculous chemistry. They made our job so easy and it is just so fun to photograph these two.<\/p>\n

I know I started with the party, but this is not to ignore how beautiful their ceremony was. St. Francis of Assisi in Castle Rock<\/a> is absolutely breath-taking. The wood\u00a0features and the stained glass windows make you feel like you are truly in a holy place. It was so cool watching those moments of anticipation for Matt as he waited for Abby to walk down the aisle. He teared up a bit, but it was mostly just the biggest smiles on both of their faces.\u00a0I feel like they, along with their families and wedding party, were really able to enjoy the whole day and take in every moment of getting to be together. I am so thankful to have been part of your day and\u00a0let the adventure begin!<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the incredible vendors who made the day so amazing!
