The morning starts out as all wedding mornings have this season. With rain; me assembling my emergency weather kit, my husband checking the weather radar in fifteen minute intervals; my brides sending emails in panic. But today, the rain didn’t bother me. I knew I would be shooting at one of my favorite locations, with a very special couple, and enjoying delicious and amazing company the entire time. Chelsea and Jason were referred to me by Lindsay and Jared (see 4 weeks back to their beautiful wedding); Chelsea was her maid of honor, and Lindsay was Chelsea’s…so this was a homecoming of sorts for me.
Chelsea had her own flair to her beautiful, classic attire….

I just loved this sentiment on Chelsea’s ring! {from.the.heart}




Let me just say that when Chelsea told me almost a year ago upon booking that she was getting a trolley, I started counting down the days of her wedding…
it doesn’t get any better for a photographer than a trolley…seriously.

Married….

dear Chelsea and Jason…
when i got home and uploaded all of your photographs, i was instantly brought back to your truly beautiful day. there has never been a ceremony more genuine and emotional. my heart was so touched by the obvious love that you two share together…a connection i know will last a lifetime and beyond. Chelsea, I have watched you and Lindsay, Jason and Jared…share so many profound moments this year, and i just can’t feel any more blessed than i do right now as a photographer, and as a person.
all my love to you both,
amanda![]()
