Their Love Story
Whitney and Matt met while Matt wa stationed at Fort Bragg with 82nd Airborne Division and Whitney was working in Durham. When Matt exited the Army in 2012, he moved to Durham where he and Whitney enjoyed going to Durham Bull baseball games, hiking in Umstead Park and running with their rescue puppy, Chance. In 2013, the two moved to Fayetteville, NC. Matt accepted a job with Fayetteville Police Department and Whitney began the Physician Assistant Program at Methodist University. Several months later while celebrating a snowy Christmas Eve in Long Island, Matt proposed to Whitney...and the rest is history. Since, the two continue to enjoy hiking and camping, going to local hockey and baseball games, vacationing at the beach, and spending time together. They also adopted a second rescue dog named Bella. Matt continues to enjoy working as a police officer and Whitney is working as a pediatric physician assistant.
Their Wedding
Cuteness overload!
Whitney and Matt didn't want to see each other before their ceremony but wanted to be able to touch hands for a few moments so we crafted a way for Whitney to sneak out of her bridal suite and give Matt a kiss on the cheek while his eyes were closed. However Whitney was crying so hard Matt almost opened his eyes to make sure she was ok. Crisis averted we covered his eyes while continuing to capture the most heartfelt moment between the two.
Whitney and Matt really wanted sunset photos on the beach which almost didn't happen. No one knew Dad's speech would be long as we all watched the sun setting. As soon as Dad finished Stephanie, awesome wedding coordinator at Miller Beach Surf Club, whisked us down to the beach for the most beautiful sunset I've ever had the pleasure of capturing.
Matt made a speech thanking all service men and women (including their Grandma) for everything they do, and after a standing ovation the party continued.
Whitney and Matt - You two are truly a class act and your love is felt by everyone that surrounds you! Congrats!
