Hi! I’m Matt.
Music, travel, cooking, God, photography, fast cars and Nat are the loves of my life. Probably not in that order though!
I grew up in a pretty small town and my first time on a plane was when I moved to Australia at the age of 21. I had such a great time, that I stayed there for 6 years.
In a previous life, I was a mechanic. Engineering runs in the family and I have an analytical approach to nearly everything in life, my art being the exception. I love capturing images that tell a story, ones that visually draw you into the emotion of the scene. At weddings, I try to picture what someone, who wasn’t attending, would have to see in order to feel like they were a part of the day.
I don’t take myself too seriously, but I love to be a part of things that are much bigger than myself. This is hard because i’m kinda like a giant.
If I had a life motto it would be, “Live your dreams, don’t just talk about them”. I’m not sure why, but I can remember from a young age that I wanted to be someone who went for it. I guess that makes me a bit of a risk taker.
I live in the city now and I love hanging with my friends and family. But I could be as happy living, just the two of us, in a log cabin on a lake far away from everything. I think Nat is secretly afraid that this will come true one day.
I can’t resist a great sunset. One day, I want to watch from the same lookout spot every day for a month straight. I have many random goals like this.
Nat is most certainly the perfect woman for me. I had to travel to the other side of world to find her and there’s no doubt we’re a perfect fit. I can’t think of anything I like more than traveling and exploring the world together. Oh, and did I mention she’s the best homemaker on the planet? Just sayin.

Hi I’m Nat,
There’s always been a part of me in love with the arts, but I never thought I’d have this as my job and my life. I had my life all planned out. I would graduate high school, go to university, get my degree in architecture, get married and live happily ever after. After only one year of college, I discovered a whole different side of myself. My life took a wild turn and due to a drastic change of events, I landed in Australia. During my 6 years down under, I became the woman I am today. I met and married my closest friend and started this crazy new journey.
Matt is my complete opposite; I’m details, he’s dreams. I’m the pessimist, and he is the most optimistic person I know! He believes in me, when I feel I have nothing to believe in. He is the most constant person I know while I, on the other hand, have extremes. When I’m excited, the whole world knows, but when I’m disappointed, I can’t hide it very well.
I l.o.v.e weddings, especially the details that make each one unique to the couple. I always have new ideas for our ‘second’ wedding….Matt always shoots that idea down!
Traveling has always been a part of my life and I’m always looking forward to the next adventure. This is something Matt & I share and each adventure brings us closer. There’s not a place in the world I don’t want to see. I want to meet the people, eat the food and learn at least 10 words in every language.
I love my people – family and friends. I’m so thankful for each of them and covet the time I have with them as so many of them live thousands of miles from my current location.
And then there’s the random side of me….I see musicals everywhere in life, I judge wether or not I like a song if I can see myself skating to it (growing up I was an ice skater), and I love to be ridiculous, especially if it will make someone laugh.
I used to hate the color pink, but it’s kinda growing on me. I love to change my hair color and style, although now it’s a bit limited because I know what my husband loves. :) Shoes are my downfall, and I need to find more events to show them off.
I’m from Canada….and I hate the cold, which is hilarious to Matt.
I’m the details half of the relationship, but sometimes, I try to pretend I’m the dreamer.
