Brittany + Matt met the day before Thanksgiving 2009 at Joe’s on Weed Street. They were both out celebrating the infamous Black Wednesday, probably not where most happily ever afters start. But for them, that was it. A few days later, Matt texted Brittany asking to hangout, and five years later, they got engaged. The road down the aisle started back on October 25th, 2014 at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Brittany + Matt were scoping out photo spots (Matt is a photographer also)… and well, this is what happened: http://www.brittany-matthew.com/the-proposal/.

Brittany + Matt, you guys are amazing. Even though we never got a chance to meet before the wedding day, you had complete trust in me and gave my team and I complete creative freedom. You made everything fun, focused on what’s important, and because of that, it was such a pleasure working with you both. You are both beautiful people inside and out, and I am beyond excited to share these photos with you. May these memories stay with you forever… all the best to a happy life together!
