Number One Tip for Future Phocus Couples to Consider About The Wedding Day: Have ideas of specific photos wanted. Be yourself.
Matt and Ali made the day so easy and fun. Their family was the sweetest thing. And let me tell you.. they 100% did such an amazing job incorporating the little ones throughout the day. If you don't know Ali, here's a recap...She's sweet, has great smile when she laughs and absolutely loves her family.
What moment were you most looking forward to seeing in the photos/video? Everyone’s excitement-Ali
What moment were you most looking forward to seeing in the photos/video? First look-Matt
This moment was definitely something special for Matt and Ali. when she first approached us about giving Matt this special gift, we knew right away that would be one of the most special moments of the day. We had originally planned on Ali giving Matt the gift after their photos were done but, the moment was absolutely perfect.
It goes to show, not everything happens on a schedule. Yes, we try to stick to a timeline of some sort throughout the day; but when you have moments like this, and it just feels right, do it!
How did you two meet? (Tell us all those little details!) Through mutual friends
Tell us about THE dress! What made you fall in love? My dress was light and elegant. Very simple but just right for our venue and time of year
What was your first dance song, and why did you choose it? Parmalee take my name, the song fits us best.
Ali and Matt's first dance was very special. Not only did they get to do a dance with the two of them, but they brought the kiddos to do a family dance as well.
Describe what you felt when you saw your bride on your wedding day: Excitement -Matt
Describe what you felt when you saw your groom on your wedding day: I felt anxious but was so excited. He looked so handsome all cleaned up. Taking that moment in was very special for the two of us. -Ali
What was the most emotional part of the day for you? After losing Matt’s mother in September 2021 and then grandpa in February 2022 I had a pin made for Matt that held a picture of the two. Giving that to him was a defiantly a tear jerker. -Ali
What was the most emotional part of the day for you? First look and receiving the pin of lost loved ones -Matt
What is ONE moment of your day that you will always remember? No way to just pin point one specific moment.. but a few of the best were first look.. walking down the aisle.. and our epic flower dudes.
Talk about the life of the party. Ali and Matt's flower guys had the crowd laughing. Not only did they toss flower petals, but they also passed out little bottles of alcohol to keep the guests entertained. Needless to say, everyone was laughing and enjoyed the moment.
