I love that many of my couples are creatives working in the visual arts in some form. Matt and Stacee are both designers. When we met, they simply said, “we love what you do, so just do that.” Hearing something like this is like someone giving me a big hug and a cupcake as french cafe music plays in the background. It’s a breath of fresh air. A cold beer on a warm day. It’s simply the greatest.

So, Matt and Stacee had my heart from then on and wedding day was no exception. It was mentioned in all of the speeches given, and it bears repeating. When you speak with them, they treat you as if you are the most important person in the room. It was no exception for those they hired to execute their wedding day plans. On my drive home after the wedding, I got an incredibly grateful text from them… which I told them was the last thing they should be doing within the hours after their wedding, but at the same time I was so moved.

Matt and Stacee, may your genuine kindness and sincerity only bring you the same from others throughout your many years together!
