Last month this happy couple were married in Carthage, TN officiated by the groom's father.  We have known these two for years and had the honor of capturing their engagement photos last fall.  Matthew and Jade's day turned out so perfect right after the snow that we had gotten during the week.  It was nearly all melted on their wedding day.  They both come from wonderful families and their siblings were their bridal party.  They had decided not to see each other before the ceremony so their first looks as they saw each other for the first time was priceless!  Jade's daddy had the sweetest speech to Matthew and Jade before he gave her away.  The ceremony was an emotional one especially when Matthew surprised Jade with the song he sang along with his brothers, "I WIll Be Here" by Stephen Curtis Chapman.  Instead of the unity candle, they assembled a cross that they had made with their names and wedding date carved in it.   The church was packed with the balcony filled.   Needless to say, it was a beautiful wedding and we were able to witness their very first kiss!  Here are some highlights of their special day.  We look forward to see what God has in store for them.  Thank you Matthew and Jade for allowing us to be a part of your wedding.
