Brooke and Matthew

February 21st was a beautiful day as far as weather goes! It was also a beautiful day because Brooke Ackley and Matthew Walker tied the knot at the Garrett Bullock House in Downtown Columbus. Matthew grew up here, but being military, wound up in Connecticut. He met his dream girl, but really wanted to come back to Columbus for his wedding. The couple chose the Garrett Bullock House because of its connection to the history of the city.

Brooke looked fabulous in her strapless dress that had pretty scroll detail on the bodice and waist. She carried a bouquet of blue hydrangeas and white roses designed by Mayumi Hashiyama. She chose the hydrangeas to match her color scheme..."Tiffany" blue and white. Everything from the bridesmaids dresses to the wedding favors and the cake matched! It was truly unique and beautiful!

The wedding party was super fun and excited for the couple. They all had a great time getting ready and taking pictures! Matthew and his groomsmen were all die hard Auburn fans...except for one. To celebrate the day, they all wore buttons inside of their jackets that said "Beat Georgia". Needless to say, the Georgia fan in the bunch was not happy about that at all!

The bride and bridesmaids had some laughs while taking the "fun" pictures before the wedding! They made a "train-train" where all of them lined up and carried each other's dress trains! They also did the "Charlie's Angels" picture and the "Diva" pictures with the pink feather boas. Not to be outdone, the groomsmen took "Diva" pictures with the boas, too!

The reception was also at the Garrett Bullock House. As usual, Kimble's did a wonderful job with the catering and food set up. Friends of the studio, Benji and Drew of MBS Entertainment kept the mood fun and romantic with their DJ-ing! The wedding party, families and the guests all had a great time dancing at the reception!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Walker! We wish you all the best as you start your new life together!
