This wedding just completely opened up my season like NO OTHER. After months and months of impatiently waiting for wedding season to begin, I walked in completely and utterly floored at the sheer perfection, class and appeal of Christina and Matt’s Woman’s Club of Portsmouth wedding day. The weather was rainy, it was windy, it was a mess..and the wedding set up inside? INCREDIBLE!!!! It took my mind off of ANY of that weather fast and I knew we had one beautiful day ahead of us!!

Matt and Christina are not only simply gorgeous together, but they are the sweetest people. Christina has been there for me as I transitioned from girlfriend to fiancé to wife to mother..and she always remembered to send me a card, a gift, words of love and encouragement. That is who this woman is to the core. She dedicates her life to loving others and does it beautifully and to see her tiny little dancer self wrapped up in Matt’s strong arms so content makes me happier than I can ever describe. I LOVED watching them play and flirt for engagements and their wedding was no different! From getting cozy in a TINY area of a porch shielded from the rain to make the best of portraits, to breaking out one seriously hot and perfected version of the Dirty Dancing number..to once again throwing a PERFECT dip on the dance floor at the end of the night…we have one heck of a wedding to show you on this blog today!!

Matt, I love that you love Christina the way you do and you make her soul shine…thank you for that! You two have a beautiful happy life ahead of you!!! 🙂 XOXOXO
