Brad & Amanda Tie the Knot

While taking Brad and Amanda's engagement photos, I quickly saw the loving relationship that Brad has for his bride, but also how much he adores his daughter! It was special being able to see special moments that Brad squeezed in with his little one amidst a full day that is dedicated to showing his love for Amanda.  I think it shows his devotion to his family, and I just ate it up! 

 Look at these tears as his bride comes down the aisle, and the joy on everyone's faces.

It is a great joy seeing great relationships with parents- just look at their expressions walking to greet his parents.

 And her mom's deep love as they embraced.

People ask me if I do "formals"- and yes, I do. Their wedding day was extremely hot outside, so I took advantage of being able to be inside as much as I could. Those groomsmen would have melted in their tuxes! A lovely church and a great hotel lobby worked in our favor, I have to say!

 It wasn't until I saw these wreaths on the doorway that I remembered I photographed a wedding here several years ago when I was just an assistiant.

 Then on to a lively reception (Chase and I couldn't stop dancing...).  We had a good time photographing with the stringed lights and great textures in the room.

Last but not least- they had a photo booth.  Chase and I always get those weddings for some reason, and we never miss out on the fun! (C'mon, Casey- we'll get one!).
