What a beautiful wedding…and a beautiful couple!

I love the way this one turned out during the ceremony…with the focus blurred on the bride and groom…

This wedding was in Chelsea’s parents’ yard here in Chappell…in 100 degree weather…it was a hot one!

Here is Chelsea with her best friend and maid of honor…

Matt is from England and they met through UTube.  I have never gotten emotional at a wedding before but I did at this one…maybe because I was standing so close to them during the ceremony or maybe because the love they have for each other is so visible…

Shortly after the wedding Matt had to return to England and wait for their paperwork to go through…I’m sure it has been really hard on both of them!

I’m actually lucky I made it to this wedding at all.  Chelsea’s mom called me a couple of weeks before they were getting married to see if I by chance had the date open.  I looked at my calendar and assumed I was looking at a Saturday and cleared 3 sessions so I could do the wedding.  I moved the other sessions to Sunday.  Then on Friday morning about 7:44 I got a call from Chelsea’s mom asking me if I was going to take pictures of her getting ready at the beauty shop.  I said yes of course at 7am tomorrow right?  She said no, the wedding is today!  Oh my gosh!!  After a small 5 minute panic attack, I gathered my things, got out of my PJ’s and headed to the beauty shop to start the day.  I was there by 8:00 so I think I did pretty good, especially since the wedding started at 9 am.  I am the kind of person who goes with the flow and doesn’t plan a whole lot and I often “fly by the seat of my pants” which in this case turned out to be a VERY good trait to have. 

I’m posting so many because Matt isn’t able to view the slideshows on his iphone and can’t get to a computer for a few days…so I wanted to show him as many as I could this way…

They are just so beautiful!

The flowers were so pretty…it was hard to pick one of the rings/flowers to share…

Love this one…

Congralutations Chelsea and Matt!  I wish you all the best and for the next 8 weeks to fly by so you can be together again!!
