In all the craziness of this summer I missed a wedding! Amanda and Joe are one of those amazingly sweet and in love couples. The rain cancelled their original plans for an outdoor ceremony, but they didn’t even care! I’ve never seen a bride less upset about having to go with Plan B, and Joe said he was actually happy about the rain because according to folklore it means more babies for them!
Amanda goes down in history as being our first bride with some serious designer shoes. HELLO CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN! I was incredibly nervous to shoot them. It was probably how it feels to photograph Oprah. ![]()

Amanda was so happy that the getting ready room was full of smiles and laughter and tears:

They are so so SO in love!!

Normally if we haven’t had an engagement shoot with a couple, the grooms are a little hesitant to begin with for portraits. Not Joe–he totally nailed it straight out of the gate:

They had the most incredible reception I’ve ever seen. When we walked in my jaw dropped–the lighting, the flowers, the dueling pianos…everything was AMAZING.

It’s been almost a month since they got their pictures so I’m not sure if Amanda and Joe are still blog readers, but if you guys are reading this, I’m so sorry I missed blogging your wedding! It was such a gorgeous day and it was an honor to share it with you! We’re so happy you love the photos and we hope you two always look at each other the way you did on your wedding day!
