I just don’t even know where to start with this wedding blog post!  Mattison and Wyatt had the perfect day to celebrate their marriage.  We started off our day at Divine Stylez in Bertrand, NE  and ended with a beautiful backyard wedding reception in Lexington, NE.  Mattison had a very simple and elegant hairstyle and makeup and I think it went perfect with her v-neck, lace dress.  Also, can we just talk about her details.  I am such a sucker for pretty details to take photos of.  She had a beautiful invitation set, gorgeous flowers, a stunning blue ring and a pearl bracelet.  Take a look below!

Mattison and Wyatt had the sweetest first look.  This is my favorite part of the day, because usually it is the only part of the day they get to be alone!  We also grabbed a few portraits of just the two of them at the Church in Bertrand.  Wyatt looked so good in his blue suit and Mattison was simply stunning in her wedding dress from Hello Beautiful Bridal and Formal Wear.

After the ceremony, the bridal party took a party bus to the backyard wedding reception near Lexington.  We did a few fun photos before we entered.  As a Nebraska Wedding Photographer, I love shooting these photos in the golden hour, if possible.  This backyard wedding reception venue was the most perfect place for Mattison and Wyatt.  My second shooter, Maxine and I loved every minute!  I could share 100 more favorites of the bride and groom and bridal party photos, but for now, look at how much fun they had and how beautiful they are!

Mattison reached out to me in May for their September 15th wedding day.  For only having four months to plan this and go to school, she and her friends and family did INCREDIBLE!  I am so blessed to have met such kind people all day long!  Mattison and Wyatt danced the night away with a live band and ice cream and cupcakes the rest of the evening!  Thank You for having me be a part of your special day!  I wish you both the very best and I know that good things are in store for you both, individually and as a couple!!
