My last “big” wedding of 2020. Funny what I think is big these days. Anything over 75 guests I would consider big. Before? Over 150. Another sign of the times.

I met Jen and Matt last year at their engagement session and have spoken to them over the course of the year more than I ever would with a couple because of COVID. Like my other couples who went forward with their big plans, they felt comfortable enough to move forward with some modifications.

Over the year with emails, I got to know this sweet bride and could feel her excitement through the emails. About a month before their wedding on a phone call, Jen asked me, “What are weddings really like, Stef? Do people have a good time even with everything going on?” As you will see from their reception images, that yes. Even during COVID times, people still have a good time. It helps when the couple hires a band as well 🙂

I would say this wedding was a smashing success all around. Everyone had a wonderful time, especially the bride and groom. I’m going to miss working with these two for sure. And can we take a moment to admire their cat toppers for their signature drinks? So adorably fun.
