Their story is as romantic as all get out. I for one being a hopeless romantic at heart, just love these two for it! You see, Matt and Alli actually eloped in Georgia a year before their wedding you’re about to see!!! Isn’t that exciting?! They were engaged, but with Matt due to leave for Ranger School at any point, and the possibility of being deployed, there was no telling when they could set a wedding date. So they decided to elope, and celebrate a wedding with their friends and family, when they were able to find a time in his military schedule.  
 
Fast forward to a year and three months later, Matt and Alli celebrated their marriage with a wedding in her hometown of Merced, California. He, in his dress blues, and she, in a beautiful white and lace dress. The day couldn’t have been more beautiful! From the blue and gold details of the day, to the girls in a sea of blue dresses and the guys in uniform, to seeing this beautiful couple surrounded by all their friends and family spanning from the west coast all the way to the east coast to be there to celebrate their love…the day was just incredible! 
 
Matt and Alli, my heart is full for you two! Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding day – such a honor! A special thanks to Diane of Diane Angel Photography for shooting alongside me this day! Here are a few of my favorites from their day!
