Bride & groom in the green hills of North Carolina
Matt and Jenna are musical theatre performers, so it’s completely appropriate that their romance is fit for the stage! They first met when they were paired as dance partners in a Christmas show. They had instant chemistry, both on stage and off. It was SO obvious that they belonged together, in fact, that their friends conspired to get them on a date by sneakily backing out of a group outing one by one until it was only Matt & Jenna left. Their friends and castmates were right! Matt & Jenna started dating soon after that and never looked back!

Their wedding day in Hendersonville, North Carolina, dawned cloudy and wet, but nothing ever dimmed Jenna’s smile or Matt’s humor! This couple is made to laugh and sing! Luckily, the sun came out just in time for their wedding ceremony … and what a lovely ceremony it was! They combined the fun of dancing flower girls with a deeply meaningful service at the base of a cross. The reception was just as lovely and unique, mixing classic elegance with theatrical choreography. From start to finish, the wedding was perfectly THEM, and I’m so grateful that I could be there to capture it on film!
