ardala&matthias {wedding} double creek crossing, college station, texas

The day after Ardala & Matthias met, he called her to ask her out to dinner that night. While on their second date (literally the next day) someone asked them how long they had been married.

Ardala & Matthias' wedding was so much fun & such a joy to be a part of! They did a spectacular job of combining their two cultures (Brazil & Germany) with a little sprinkle of Texas.

I want to point out that Ardala designed & made her own wedding dress. It was simply stunning.

For me, the highlight of the night was their wonderfully choreographed & beautifully executed first dance. Nailed it.
