Like with all of our couples, we have gotten to know Amanda and Ryan pretty well through the whole process, and we both agree that they're two of the nicest, most easy-going people you'll ever meet. One of the things I will always remember about the two of them is that they changed their wedding date just so they could have us as their photographers -- which means, we were totally in love with them from the start! Knowing that photography is such an important part of someone's wedding makes us extra excited and inspired and Amanda & Ryan's wedding was no exception. Amanda was a veeeerrrryy laid back bride and in addition to being gorgeous, their wedding was all about being in love and having a good time. Because of their church's mass schedule, we started the day in their rooms at the Hilton, did pictures downtown, headed over to St. John Neumann Catholic Church and then ended the night at The Foundry --- wow, busy day! Amanda & Ryan were just smiling, smiling, smiling all day long and their wedding party couldn't have been any cooler :).

















Here are some of our favorite shots of the day!

Aside from the photos of Ryan & Amanda together, I think this is my favorite shot of the day (That is Amanda's mom with Amanda).

Amanda always said she loved our groomsmen pictures. I love shooting groomsmen, it's one of my favorite parts of the day. They are just soooo EASY. We just kind of let them joke around together and do their thing. They're certainly not worried about how they look or if we're getting their good side (lol), they're just along for the ride and up for almost anything! We like groomsmen pictures to look like the one below: imperfect, everyone with a natural smile, and having a really fun time. We take soooo many pics at each wedding that I never post any standard or more traditional shots on our blog, but we do take them, just in case you're wondering... We just know y'all would be bored sick if we posted the same thing week after week!

We did all of these shots right around the corner from their hotel. Notice how everyone is laughing -- that's because Dan and I are totally hilarious.... No, not really, they were just a really fun group.

Dan is the man, literally. For all of the photography buffs, there were no flashes allowed during the ceremony and he shot the whole ceremony IN FOCUS with our 70-200mm lens on 1/40 at 2.8. I just love the way she is looking at him in this shot.


I see this huge, in canvas, and in an antique frame :)

Have I mentioned yet that Amanda is a total bombshel!?

Oooh, I just love this one too! The light was just *perfect* after the ceremony

Gorgeous!


I love this kind of light black & white image - so sweet!

Definitely one of my favorite shots of the day!!

First dance

I'm always a huge fan of crazy dancing at receptions (I wonder why :)) and he here's one of my favorite moves of the night. Yes, that's 'The Worm" - lol

But I'm not sure it beats this sporadic toe touch! lol

The end!! Congrats Amanda & Ryan you guys were GREAT!! Thanks so much for having us!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!! xoxo
