Lovely Omni Montelucia Wedding

In this modern age of internet dating, Mat & Ivy met in a more old-fashioned way -- they were set up. You see, Mat's mother Debra shared a hairdresser with Ivy. Over a series of hair appointments, their shared stylist realized that Ivy might be the perfect fit for Debra's son, Mat. One day the hairdresser took advantage of having Ivy in her chair to tell her all about Mat. Partway through her description, Debra walked in, there to get Ivy's phone number. (To this day, Mat & Ivy still don't know if Debra came in coincidentally when Ivy was there or if the hairdresser gave her a heads up.)

Debra and her matchmaking hairdresser had great instincts, because Mat & Ivy soon started dating. Their relationship grew and deepened steadily into the beautiful love they now share. I felt so grateful to be allowed to capture it on film at their romantic wedding! Here are a few of my favorite photos from this lovely wedding day:
