We’ve never had a couple book us as far out as Amanda and Matthew did. It was over 2 years in advance! The early bird catches the worm…
I was looking forward to this wedding for a long time (a really LONG time). Amanda is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet (you too Matthew!) and that makes for a wonderful experience on the wedding day.
I love the sequence of Amanda’s emotions reading the card Matthew sent her before the wedding. One of the reasons we like to start early with the bride and groom is to give them these images that let them see what they other was doing during the part of the day they are apart.
Amanda ended up with two wedding dresses that she changed between half-way through the night. The great part was that they had two first dances with the change. One of the funniest parts of the reception came during a dance she had with her brother when one of the guests jokingly clinked their wine glass and Amanda’s reaction following it.
My absolute favorite portrait came at the end of the night. I have to give credit to my second photographer Jonathan for pointing out the glass elevators and their potential when we entered the building. From there, the idea of a pretty kick-ass portrait started brewing and I was so happy they were game for it. The elevator just ended up looking like a diamond and it’s one of those shots you do a silly mental fist pump for once you get it!
