Today’s wedding at the The Symes has images from both 2020 and 2021! Mena and Matt’s wedding celebrations were divided across two days; they opted to split their ceremony and reception, and I’m so glad they did! One silver lining of having a split wedding has been the ability to reconnect with our couples! For Mena and Matt, on top of their ceremony and reception, we were also able to document their engagement earlier in 2020!
Time set aside to revel in the joy of their commitment
Mena and Matt had a small church ceremony that was sweet, family-oriented, and the focal point of this next step of their relationship. With a sweet first look beforehand in front of their families, Mena and Matt were intentional about enjoying their day despite the restrictions. I also loved getting to see and capture the celebration at their reception a year later, a time set aside to revel in the joy of their commitment to each other, and to share their happiness with their community.
Sandeep from Lumos Events was at the helm of both days, ensuring they ran smoothly and enjoyably. The celebrations were filled with warmth and some of the most amazing food ever! These two families know how to celebrate well, but what was probably my absolute favourite detail to photograph was the cake! The bride’s own sister made the most beautiful cake for the day of their ceremony, complete with macarons, figs, and berries. Mena was also able to wear her dress twice (how many brides would love the chance to wear their dress again!)
Mena and Matt, your celebrations were such a joy to document, and it is so fun to look back on them now! I loved how you were not only intentional about spending time with your families, but also deliberate about serving them well throughout the day! Your love for each other is so apparent and we’re praying it continues to grow over the years! Congratulations again!

The Symes Wedding // Mena and Matt
Date:
April 15, 2022
Welcome to the blog!
This is where we share recent weddings & sessions, as well as informative articles, wedding planning tips, and a little bit about my life!
When I'm not shooting beautiful people in beautiful places, you're most likely to find me reading, taking walks along the beach, or trying out new restaurants with my husband!
hi there!
