We had a beautiful day for Carissa & Matt’s wedding! It started off a little crazy with a huge farmer’s market right outside the church doors when we arrived to set up. Luckily the farmers market disappeared in time to start taking some portraits.
We headed outside for some beautiful portraits at the park across the street. We were able to capture some awesome portraits with their church in the background.

Once we were finished with the releases Carissa and Matt jumped in the limo with their wedding party and headed off. We were able to capture some great portraits with the whole wedding party using a country road we found.
