Janelle and Matt are married AND are back from their amazing honeymoon in Greece:) I have been anxiously awaiting their return so that they could return to some wedding photos and relive their day!
Our day started at Janelle’s childhood home where she and the girls were getting ready!
This adorable collection of gifts with custom labels from Janelle’s mom was just adorable! Janelle and her mom are both elementary school teachers and this little touch clearly is teacher minded (coming from a former elementary teacher herself:).
After Janelle wrapped up getting ready, we took a few photos outside with her girls:)
Janelle and Matt’s forecast for the day had been a little iffy with rain, but the day started with full sun and FULL heat! We were melting in just the couple of minutes outside on the deck:)
Final lip touches while the girls started to get on their dresses:)
Then it was time for Janelle’s dress!
Janelle’s sister-in-law-to-be is ADORABLE:) You can see her excitement in this photo! She was equally as excited and helpful throughout the whole day! Thank you Kate:)
A first look with dad:)
The gifting began:) It started with a special gift from Mom and Dad and then Janelle got to open all of the little package:)
After leaving Janelle’s, I met Matt and his groomsmen at the church!
I just love this photo:) Her little fingers and that BIG ring:)
Peek-a-boo:)
After the ceremony we headed over to Warwick Country Club for their reception!
As we walked down the stairs, Janelle had a Marilyn Monroe moment:) It was just one blast of air but was a preview of the wind to come:)
As we started with some photos, we had a nice light breeze going, but then the wind began to pick up:)
Although it was a bit windy, it makes for some gorgeous photos on the grounds of Warwick Country Club:)
We had some time in between the ceremony and the reception, so when the cocktail hour began, Janelle and Matt joined right in!
Then the reception kicked off with some awesome intros – including props and costumes:)
I love getting a few of my own photos from the photo booth when the bride and groom join in:)
Janelle and Matt – Congratulations and thank you for having me:)!!

Bride/Groom Questions
What was the most memorable moment of your day?
The most memorable moment of the day for us was seeing each other for the first time in the church. We both waited for that moment for a long time and it was finally happening!
What was your favorite detail?
Our favorite detail was the photo booth! All of our guests enjoyed taking funny pictures. We had some laughs when we got the album of everyone’s pictures! Janelle’s favorite detail was also the centerpieces. They came out perfectly!
Any advice for future brides/grooms?
As everyone says, the day is over in a blink of an eye. It’s important to enjoy the moments and take it all in. Everyone is there to celebrate the two of you!
Funniest memory from your wedding day?
Our funniest memory was our bridal party entrances. We had each pair pick a song to come out to and do a funny dance! It was great to see what everyone came up with!
If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
The day was perfect, we wouldn’t change a thing (except maybe the wind)!
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
