Kara & Matt | Caledonia Backyard Wedding

As soon as I met with Kara and Matt I knew their event would be one of my favorites from the year. Even though that meeting took place what seems so very long ago and the wedding plan changed a few times since then, it did fully live up to expectations.  These two have a profound admiration and adoration of each other that is delightful to see and so fun to capture.  I had a wonderful time photographing this wedding and I’m thrilled to share some of my favorites from their day.

Congrats Kara and Matt! Thank you for being awesome! <3
