Love Story: Kaylene and Matt’s Rustic PA Barn Wedding
Love, Stories Documented, Wedding //
The tears were flowing as we stood at the top of the hill inside of the barn waiting for Ryan’s cue that Matt had arrived. We chatted about this big day and how it was finally here. I gave Kaylene my best advice: to soak it all in! This was the moment that she had dreamed about for so long. The man of her dreams, the one who completes her was standing at the bottom of the hill.
We made our way outside of the barn and down the hill. With tears still streaming down our faces, we soaked it all in together. The sky was a bright blue and the sunshine was beaming through the big white puffy clouds. We noted that PopPop definitely had his hands in making that weather so perfect for that special day.
Matt was now in site and with a deep breath, Kaylene was ready for this. Matt’s smile got bigger and bigger as the anticipation of seeing his beautiful bride grew. The moment he had been waiting for was finally here. He turned around and his expression says it all. He is one lucky guy!
As they soaked it all in, Kaylene’s tears were wiped away and their smiles were bigger than they ever have been before. This was their time!
Whew… as I cry happy tears just writing this, I can’t help but be incredibly grateful that Kaylene has found the man of her dreams in Matt and that he has blessed our family in such a special way! I said this in my MOH speech and it could never be repeated enough… Matt, thank you for bringing that smile to Kaylene’s face!
Kaylene and Matt, THANK YOU for the honor to play such special roles in your day. As the photographer and MOH, Ryan and I feel incredibly blessed to have been a part of such a magical day and such an amazing love story! You two amaze us and we could not be more grateful to have you in our lives! We love you!
We would be remiss without saying an incredibly HUGE thank you to Kaylene and Matt’s parents and close family and friends who played such a HUGE role in making their day so AMAZING! Between all of the incredible woodwork & other handywork, Ed (Kaylene’s dad) put into the barn (so worth every single minute of work! It is gorgeous!), the daylong marathon of caramel apple making (all of the guests give you an extra big thanks for that one! ;) They were tasty!!), the making of the centerpieces, the leaf cutting and so so so much more… you all made their day extra amazing!
We also wanted to give our good friend and third photographer Brendon a HUGE thank you for filling in for Liz while she performed her maid of honor duties!

This slideshow is extra special… we hope you enjoy reliving Kaylene and Matt’s wedding day to the live performance of “The Prayer,” by Jenna and Sean Lorson (Kaylene’s cousins… and I am proud to say they are my cousins too!!!, but not so proud to say they took all of the music talent in our family! ;) ) They are amazing! (Please ignore the background sound of children crying, they were moved to tears… lol… this was the actual recording from Kaylene and Matt’s wedding day!) And it is nothing but MAGICAL!! Please note: Tissues required. ;)
