An Intimate Celebration: Elisha and Matt’s Perfect Family Wedding


Some weddings stand out for their grandeur, while others captivate with their intimacy and heartfelt moments. Elisha and Matt’s wedding was the latter—a celebration of love, family, and togetherness, made even more special by their beautiful little daughter, who brought joy to every moment of the day.


The morning began at their family home, a place bursting with excitement and warmth. I captured tender moments of Elisha & Matt getting ready, alongside their daughter who stole the spotlight at every turn. Their beloved dogs adding a touch of playful chaos that only a family home can offer. It was these simple, unscripted moments—hugs, laughter, and paw prints—that set the tone for the day ahead.


The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the stunning Cavan Crystal Hotel, a venue that perfectly balanced elegance with a cozy atmosphere. In front of their closest family and friends, Elisha and Matt exchanged vows in a heartfelt civil ceremony. Their daughter stood proudly by their side, a symbol of the beautiful life they’ve built together.


After the ceremony, we wandered into the hotel’s gorgeous gardens for portraits. The summer sun filtered through the trees, providing the perfect backdrop for capturing their love story. Elisha and Matt’s connection was effortless—gentle glances, shared laughter, and a sense of calm that spoke volumes about their bond.


Family and friends came together to celebrate not just Elisha and Matt’s union, but the beautiful family they have created.


This wedding wasn’t just about two people saying “I do.” It was about a family solidifying their bond and their community coming together to celebrate joy and love. Elisha and Matt’s day reminded me why I love photographing weddings—because it’s in these intimate, personal moments that the true magic happens.


Congratulations, Elisha and Matt! Thank you for letting me be a part of your perfect family union.
