Sarah and Matt intimate Har-Ber Village wedding ceremony indoors with fairy lights, sheer backdrop, and wedding party on stage in Grove Oklahoma

Some love stories move quickly because that's what they are meant to do!

Sarah and Matt met in February and within just a couple of months, Sarah had packed up her life in Northwest Arkansas and moved to Grove, Oklahoma to be with Matt and his six kids. What began as a new relationship quickly became a shared life full of family, hard work, and a very special connection.

Matt proposed on Valentine's Day the very next year, and the two began planning a life together.

It was obvious in the way they interacted that this marriage was special! And I had such a lovely time photographing them! I know I say that a lot, but it really is true.

Their wedding day at Har-Ber Village in Grove, Oklahoma was exactly what they wanted it to be. It was small, comfortable, and centered around the people who mattered most. I was asked to minimize my shutter noise and movement during the ceremony and I did just that by opting for quiet lens changes, instead of movements that could disrupt the moment.

The ceremony was heartfelt and intimate. The reception was a little bit wild. I'm not going to share all of those photos to the public blog, but they were fun XD
