Matt + Nita’s wedding

I’m so excited to finally post Matt + Nita’s wedding. I really looked forward to the day, especially because I really got to know Nita and Matt from the time they first contacted me until the wedding. They are wonderful people and I am honored to have spent their wedding day with them. Nita’s creativity was evident in all of the planning for the wedding, and her (and everyone who helped her) hard work paid off. She really thought of everything, and I’m pretty sure organized is her middle name which meant that the day ran smoothly and was so fun to be a part of!

The wedding colors were pink + green, and that was incorporated into all of the details. I love her unique dot decorated cake and the paper pennant garland she hung with the lighted background was the perfect centerpiece for the dance floor.

Oh, the burden of being a ring bearer or flower girl. I promise these kids had fun… except maybe when they had to walk down the aisle.

As a creative exit from the church, Matt + Nita had green and pink paper planes passed out for everyone to throw. It worked perfectly!

During the reception, we headed outside to do some interesting night shots. We had some fun, and it was the perfect creative end to the wedding. Thanks so much Matt + Nita for letting me document everything, and if you know Matt + Nita and would like to see the full gallery of photos (you must know their last name for the password) go here and enjoy!

Steve Johnson - BRAVO!!!! You could say that capturing the mood and feeling can make or break a picture (or at least im making that up for this particular instance lol) Well, there’s no doubt that these wedding photos captured the beauty of love that was present on that day. The romantic integrity of the black and white still shots; to the warmth and blissful glee spilling throught the color prints. Wedding and marital bliss at its’ finest. Thank you Mary Dougherty Photography for immortalizing the happiness of that day.~~Love you Matt&Nita Eldred!!!!!!

Joy Cunningham - Stunning. There’s a lovely feel to all of these pics. I especially like the one of Matt looking over at Nita whilst they’re kneeling at the alter, as well as the very top photo of them under the tree and the one of them dancing, with Nita’s back to the camera. Beautiful, intimate shots. Congratulations guys.

meg - what a unique light setting with the tree–makes for some amazing photos that you don’t see from the average wedding. also, creative to have “dancing shoes”…those would have saved me a few blackened feet from the dance floor at times! alright, one down. 19 to go! get that large print, i’d want it if these were my pictures! :)
