Amanda and I have been friends for years. As in, we were bus buddies on our way to school from fourth grade and beyond. Needless to say, we’ve been through a lot together, and I’ve seen her through the lows and highs. None of those highs, however, have brought this kind of light into her.

Amanda and Alex are recently engaged and they’re planning a September 2019 wedding. Their day will be beautiful, I know. She’ll look stunning - that’s a given. Every single thinkable detail will have been accounted for - also a given if you know Amanda. But the real show stopper will undoubtedly be the love between her and Alex.

It’s humbling to be in the presence of true I’d-do-anything-for-you love, and that’s the kind of love that this couple exudes. This love - their love - was so much fun to photograph. Their warm and engaging personalities show through in every shot, and I couldn’t be more excited to photograph their wedding next fall.

Congratulations, Amanda & Alex!
