Two and a half years ago, Matt and Sarah met while helping at a camp. Matt was traveling there with his band playing guitar. Also a school teacher, Sarah loved working with the kids. Matt found every reason he could to see Sarah… and soon after, they started dating. Over the next couple years, they dated long distance, with Sarah working as a teacher in Michigan and Matt studying to become a pastor. They tied the knot in Matt’s hometown of Toledo at Emmanuel Baptist Church. I am so honored to have been apart of the start to an amazing, Christ-centered marriage.

Sarah and Matt chose to do a first look before their ceremony, and I couldn’t have been more excited!! We headed to Wildwood Metropark near the church- and it was absolutely gorgeous. The trees were old and tall, full of greenery. We headed straight into bride & groom + bridal party portraits right after…

Those bouquets!! Ahh, love love loveee!! Her florist drove out of state to find white peonies- and it was WELL worth it. So much pretty.

Sarah, you are beautiful!!

We also headed to a small little garden nearby for some more portraits… Loved this little spot!!

On to the details… Sarah’s ring was to DIE for. So there may be an abundance of ring shots…

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Snyder!! So excited for you both.
