Some weddings leave a mark on your heart not just because of the décor or the dress, but because of the people.

When Emma shared that their guest list had grown to nearly 500 people, I knew we were about to witness something truly special. This wasn’t just a wedding it was a reflection of two extraordinary souls who have touched the lives of many. Guests flew in from all over the world to celebrate Emma and Matthew a couple whose love radiates in every smile, every word, and every glance they share.

Emma, a beloved kindergarten teacher, brought a tender twist to the ceremony. Her young students were there to watch their “Ms. Clark” become “Mrs. Houtts.” It was one of the most heartwarming moments of the day sweet, pure, and full of innocent joy. Their cheers and claps made it all the more unforgettable.

But the emotional depth of the day didn’t stop there. In a rare and beautiful alignment of life’s milestones, Emma and Matthew also shared the spotlight with her grandparents, who were celebrating 60 years of marriage. In a world that moves so fast, honoring a love that has stood the test of time grounded the day in something deeper legacy.

From the soft elegance of the floral design by Justin Myrick, to the sweet masterpiece by Cakery Co, and the flawless touches by artists Molly Chapin and Sophie Hardy, every detail was curated to reflect Emma and Matthew’s joyful spirit. Terri Brown, their exceptional coordinator, ensured the entire day flowed seamlessly allowing the couple to be fully present and soak in every moment.

Held at the timeless Stony Point Church, their ceremony was filled with reverence, laughter, and moments that will be talked about for generations.

Emma and Matthew, thank you for allowing us to be part of such a powerful and love-filled celebration. Your day was more than a wedding it was a beautiful reminder of how love, when shared generously, becomes something unforgettable.
