Claire and Matthew’s Classic Amway Grand Wedding

There are so many nice things I can say about how kind and generous and welcoming Claire and Matthew are, but I’ll just keep it simple: If I ever have a daughter, I hope she marries someone like Matthew, and if I ever have a son, I hope he marries someone like Claire.

Images from their day after session here.
