He slipped her grandmother’s tiny silver band on her left ring finger, in the church they’d joined four years earlier and promised her forever. Surrounded by their family and friends, the two became one. Mr. + Mrs. Blake Matthews. Husband and Wife. Earlier that December Saturday, in a small town surrounded by their best friends and family, Sierra + Blake prepared for the Troy, AL church wedding and Collier’s on Main wedding reception. Although the day was overcast, rain held off and we were able to shoot outside all day long and the temperature was rather mild! Sierra got her dream first look on a stunning pier in a field that really was a dream thanks to that cloud cover. Blake’s reaction to his bride quite literally took my breath away. They way he beamed at his soon-to-be-wife all day throughout the portraits at Dream Field Farms and all throughout the wedding party and family portraits at Troy First Baptist Church.
Sierra + Blake, you guys are one of a kind. You are a joy to serve, a pleasure to spend time with, and it’s an honor to be your friend. It’s easy to see why you needed a wedding party of 13 on each side because you have so many people who adore you and they are some quality friends! I seriously can’t get enough of Blake’s giggle and Sierra’s contagious joy and how perfectly paired you two are! As I edited up this blog, I was brought to tears again over the personal vows you read to each other at your first look. I was beaming with pride when you guys would naturally fall into a beautiful “pose” before I was ready to take your pictures all day. I loved how relaxed and joyful you were all day long. Keep up the good work, guys. Keep God at the center of your marriage, and keep counting one another as your biggest blessing. I can’t wait to see how God uses your marriage and all the plans he has for you guys! Enjoy some of my favorites:
