Caitlynn.&.matt
i will never forget the first time i met Caitlynn when she worked at the Ritz Camera in Troy... at least 6 or 7 years ago now. every single time i went in there she was always so energetic, happy & sweet. i LOVED seeing her. i also will never forget when she called me last year & left me a message asking if 'i would remember her, that she was getting married & would like me to document the big day.' i thought to myself, remember her?! {LOL} how can i not?!!! 
next thing you know we were on the phone talking endlessly, laughing & planning to get together. i absolutely .love. it when life reconnects you in the sweetest of ways. i then met with Caitlynn & her amazing Mother where we all chattered up the room together. words such as best friend, love of my life, soulmate were said when it came to Matt with the deepest of affection. i couldn't help but permasmile.
..and then, Caitlynn's Mom said, "you should just see the way he looks at her!" which has been embedded in my heart since. on their wedding day i was honored enough to experience an entire day of it -- it is something truly beautyFULL. Matt & Caitlynn completely balance each other. they are two souls who have intertwined, two best friends who would do anything for each other,,, and simply enough, even after all these years, their entire self lights up when each other's name is mentioned. most people dream of this type of a connection in a lifetime. ...i was lucky enough to live in on the dream for one ah!mazing day.
their wedding & reception took place at the ever-so-lovely Royal Park Hotel. they were surrounded by all those that love them & by great love, love LOVE. below are some of my top top favorites from the day, however be sure to check out the slideshow at the end of this post for even more images!!!
Caitlynn & Matt! as i was going through all your imagery, i just kept thinking how blessed i am to know you both & for our reconnection. your love is inspiring & true. i wish you both the greatest adventure that life has to offer you together. knowing you, you are going to make the best of it & i can't wait to hear all about it along the way! i adore you & hope you enjoy the story of your special day through the images below. with great heart & gratitude, always,
