Matthew and Kelly are MARRIED!!! What an absolute joy it was to celebrate Matthew and Kelly’s wedding day at the beautiful Arching Oaks Ranch in LaBelle. After photographing their engagement session, I couldn’t wait to see them again and capture this incredible chapter of their love story. And let me tell you—this day was even more amazing than I imagined!

Every detail of the day was carefully chosen and filled with meaning. Soft dusty blues and pinks added a romantic, elegant touch to the celebration. Both Kelly and Matt shared emotional “first looks” with their parents. When Kelly and Matthew saw each other for their own first look, they couldn’t stop smiling at each other! They also took this private time to exchange personal vows, and it was such a special, intimate moment to witness. Laughter, a few happy tears, and the kind of connection that only comes from a deep friendship and love filled the moment. It was clear that these two truly belong together!

The ceremony took place under a stunning canopy of oak trees that framed them perfectly. Their ceremony was truly Christ-centered, with several pastors from their church playing special roles throughout. One of the most heartfelt moments was the Cord of Three Strands ceremony and the prayer over them—a stunning representation of their commitment to building their marriage with God at the center.

Matthew and Kelly filled their reception with personal touches that made it uniquely theirs. They served breakfast for dinner (their favorite meal!), and the guests absolutely loved it. But one of the biggest hits of the evening? The coffee truck! Coffee has always been “their thing” since their first date was at a coffee shop, so incorporating it into their wedding day felt so special and meaningful.

As the night went on, the celebration continued with fun dancing, laughter, and countless memorable moments. Everyone’s love and support for Matthew and Kelly were tangible, and it felt like one big, joyful family celebrating together. They ended the night the perfect way, with a magical sparkler exit!
