I first met Monica, Donnie and his sweet family in Destin, FL for their surprise beach session. The kids, Dawson, Maggie and Drew, their Grandmother Cheryl and Monica came dressed and ready for sunset pictures. Donnie, camera in hand, convinced them to join him for a portrait on the beach. His fiance' Monica was pleasantly surprise to see me arrive. She asked Donnie, "You hired a photographer?!"
May we just pause for a moment to recognize this epic Dad/Fiance' moment. Planning a surprise engagement session on your summer beach vacation. Donnie Mathews, you're the real MVP.
Donnie and Monica's Fall backyard wedding was a woodland fairy tale. They transformed the space with chandeliers, string lights, water features, blankets and seating for guests. So many beautiful details went into making this sunset ceremony perfect. As the sun went down, the lights began to glow. When Donnie and Monica said "I do" they were surrounded by twinkle lights and love from their family and friends.
A popcorn bar, hot coco, a warm fire for s'mores. It was truly a romantic evening. Complete with a sparkler exit.
Congratulations Donnie and Monica! We wish you all the happiness in the world!
Mr. and Mrs. Matthews
