I have been looking forward to Matt and Lyndsey’s wedding for a full year.  I met this adorable couple when I was photographing their friend’s wedding (Suzanne and Adam Jayne-Jensen 08.08.08).  I photographed Matt and Lyndsey’s engagement session last November and they were such fun.  I knew that their day would be full of classy, elegant details…not to mention they both are very comfortable in front of the camera! 

 

Lyndsey is the tiniest little thing…maybe 5 foot tall….and Matt must be 6 foot 5 or so.  Here her Mom is helping Lyndsey put on her super high heels.  They were sexy, gave her a few more inches of height to catch up with Matt…and Lyndsey said they were really comfortable.  Check out the calf muscles on this lady…now that is muscle definition.   

 

Okay, are they stunning together!?

 

LOVE the back of this dress.  If I had a consultation before the wedding to pick the PERFECT dress for Lyndsey, it would have been this one.  She pulls off a strapless dress like it was custom made just for her.

 

 

The Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland was the venue for their celebration.   Inside, outside…it just doesn’t matter.  Everything at this venue is beautiful.

 

We ventured out to a super bright and windy day.  Matt scooped up Lyndsey so she wouldn’t ruin her beautiful shoes on the docks.

 

Family and wedding party watched from the upstairs balcony…clearly approving of his decision to be chivalrous.

 

Now there are fun wedding parties and there are FUN wedding parties.  This group tipped the fun meter to SUPER FUN. 

 

 

I asked Matt to walk in front of his guys toward me.  I about fell over laughing as the guys started channeling the West Side Story boys in the background complete with side snapping and lots of laughter.

 

The very talented Stacey Yuchasz was second shooting for me and captured the girls getting a kick out of that scene. 

 

 

 

I love how Lyndsey is fighting back tears in this very emotional moment as she is about to be given away.   

 

 

After the ceremony, the wedding party retreated to a side room to toast the wedding.  You can’t script moments like this.  Here Matt enthusiastically shows off his new ring.  What followed was a tear filled toast to friendship, love, and a lifetime of happiness.

 

Matt and Lyndsey escaped the reception for a moment together at sunset.

 

Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Matt Heinle.  What an event for everyone to remember.
