Matt + Natalie | Wedding

I grew up at the lake so I am probably biased when I say that there is simply no better place in the world. There is just something about the combination of being on the water, in the sun, with the people you love that nothing else can even hold a candle to. Now add in a wedding, and, well... WOW.

Natalie and Matt got ready and did the majority of their pictures at Natalie's parents' lake cabin on Priest Lake. Let me just put this out there: I LOVED this wedding. The whole day was casual yet intimate, such a fun group of people, fun and unique details, and just flat out gorgeous human beings to photograph... there, I said it. There was one point when my second-shooter, Bethan, and I were taking pictures of Natalie in the green chair and I actually put my camera down and before I could really even think it through said (out loud, mind you), "You are so hot!" Thankfully Natalie just laughed it off so it wasn't awkward. :)

They had their ceremony and reception at North of the Narrows Fire Station right on the water, and believe me, it looked more like a lodge than a fire station! Their ceremony was literally in the woods with a standing room only setup, including their dog, Hook, as the ring bearer and Natalie's grandma playing the saxophone... how cool is that?! Matt is a chef and insisted on having a pig roast for their reception (um, yum!) and they also had a live band, The Rub, provide amazing entertainment for the evening. I could go on and on but will stop there and let you see some Flat 4 favorites from Matt and Natalie's beautiful wedding day...
