Justin & Amanda :: June 12, 2010 Oak Farm Vineyards

I love Justin and Amanda, they are so fun, sweet and so in love, even after being together for 12 years you would never know it because when he looks at her it’s like he’s seeing her for the first time.  They chose a gorgeous place to get married too, Oak Farm Vineyards, it was like a photographer’s playground and we took full advantage!!  The thing I love most about these two is their trust in me, I knew from their engagement session that they fully and completely trusted me and allowed me the freedom to be an artist.  Thank you both for this and for having so much fun with us on your wedding day!

Throughout the whole day Amanda was wearing this gorgeous smile.

Amanda, you are stunning.  Seriously!

A huge thanks to Raquel from Image Provocateur for Amanda’s hair and makeup.  Raquel always rocks my socks!

Justin and Amanda decided to do a First Look and I have to tell the story behind this.  Originally Amanda was all for it and Justin wanted to keep with tradition and see his bride for the first time walking down the isle.  I was ok with this since I don’t like to push this on my couples, I just highly recommend it because it’s a very romantic time for the two of them to see each other and have a moment just to themselves before the madness really kicks off, plus we get tons of time for pictures!  Well, the week before their wedding Amanda emails me and says that Justin has decided he’d like to do the First Look after all and I’m thinking “great work Amanda!”  Fast forward to this moment right below, after they had their moment Justin says and I quote “I am SO glad we did this, I am not as stressed anymore!”  And it just made me smile.

Toasts time, and the best man was nervous he had to chug his beer.

But he had a great speech, even made Justin a bit misty eyed.

Mike with Elite Entertainment had everyone gettin’ down on the dance floor!

After all of the formal events, we snuck away for some sunset pictures in the vineyard.

And then these two surprised me by saying “Yes” to getting into this boat to take a ride in the pond and I love them for doing it because it was so worth it!!
