Northside UMC & Wimbish House WEdding: Kayla & Matt

5/26/2017

Some wedding days just don't go according to plan, despite careful planning and a wonderful vendor team. After all, you can't control the weather. With a crazy thunderstorm drenching all of Atlanta and knocking out the power to the church, most couples would have panicked, but Kayla and Matt rolled with the punches and were just excited to celebrate with a ballroom full of their best friends and family! And let me tell you, their amazing friends and family KNOW how to party, they were all so much fun!! I think it's because Matt went to Georgia Southern (maybe I'm just biased) but I will say, it was awesome to have "HAIL SOUTHERN" chanted as they made their exit for the night!

You can tell a lot by the people a couple surrounds themselves with and Kayla and Matt's friends are just as amazing as they are! Since Kayla and Matt opted not to do a first look, we spent a lot of time with the wedding party. It was easy to see that these two are so loved by the people in their lives and it was truly special to feel welcomed into the group for the day! When Matt finally got to see his bride, his smile could not have been bigger. But what I loved most is when Kayla's dad gave her away, he also gave Matt a big hug. It was obvious they've been a family long before the wedding day! After the ceremony the storm rolled in and our best laid plans went out the window. Thankfully we had a little bit of light left for portraits before the dance party got started! The rest of the night was a blur of Moscow mules, custom Auburn and Georgia Southern sugar cookies, and epic dance offs until Kayla and Matt headed off into married life with streamers and cheers! Congratulations again to the newlyweds! Kayla and Matt I hope you love this peek into your wedding day as much as I do!
