Jacob & Amanda: June 2nd

After we came back from Belize, we had the privilege of photographing Jacob and Amanda's wedding. On our first meeting with Jacob we saw his quiet personality as he listened attentively to everything we had to say. A couple weeks later we met with both him and Amanda and instantly we saw their connection, their balance and their joy.

Our engagement session together was so animated. Jacob and Amanda bring out a playful and infectious joy in each other as well as those around them. Amanda drew out Jacob's fun side and Jacob provoked Amanda's spontaneity. We had a blast. Below are a couple of images from their session. You can see more of them on our website as well.


Jacob and Amanda are an inspiration in their confidence in each other and the life they are starting together as husband and wife. They held onto their personalities throughout their entire wedding planning process. Amanda managed to create a hot pink, black and white color palette that was striking and beautiful, just like her. Jacob's unconditional support and subtle, but passionate, ideas tied the atmosphere together. Both of them have an artistic eye that showed through on their wedding day. We chose a group of images to show some of their personality and a hint of their wedding day.


Jacob's groomsmen were all individuals and while they shared inline skating in common, they each had a unique perspective to add to the group. It was very telling of Jacob's qualities as a friend to see so many different people find a common connection in him. You could see how much his brother, Dylan, enjoyed Jacob's company and the friendship they developed with one another. Jacob comes from a family that supports you and loves you for who you are, not who they want you to be. It's becoming a rare quality in people.

This picture makes us smile. Amanda's family shares the same passion toward relationships as Jacob's. She and her sisters were having a blast goofing off while we were doing their portraits. This is one of our favorite times where everyone can have fun and show off their personalities. There was definitely no shortage of laughing throughout the day!


We love this picture because it shows the beauty of Amanda's spunky personality. Not very many people can pull off a white and hot pink wedding dress! Continuing on her theme of walking off the beaten path, she mixed up her bridesmaids dresses to keep it fresh.


This picture defines Amanda and Jacob. They're joyful, connected and always looking out to see those around them. These two are considerate and thoughtful. Jacob's cousin was celebrating her 21st birthday on their wedding day. They arranged to give her a birthday present during their reception to recognize her and honor her on such a monumental birthday. Their hearts are selfless and loving.


Another great example of the use of black and white. I love this umbrella. Their wedding reception was in Amanda's parents' backyard. It was BEAUTIFUL. Her older sister helped in a lot of the decorations and changed the whole ambiance. Again, it defines Amanda and Jacob: simple, unique and playful.

One of our favorite things is our time with the bride and groom during their portraits together. Amanda and Jacob are a couple who truly love each other and know their priority is not the wedding day, but the celebration of the beginning of their life together. This couple, as well as their families, understand the importance of relationships in life and keeping them as your primary focus.



Congratulations, you two! It was a lot of fun capturing the memories of your day and laughing non stop throughout most of it! If your future together is half as fun, successful, selfless and exciting as your wedding day, you're in for a great journey.
