Hang Wedding | Wrightsville Beach NC Elopement | Michigan Destination Wedding Photographer

Amanda has been my best friend and other half for years, ever since we bonded over our love of Jack and Coke and our hatred for our work place. (Because, what type of place really does not let you take a lunch and then makes you clock out for it so they don't get sued... again!) 

We were beach bums, Netflix loungers, and wine-o-holics.. plus rommies for the longest time.

Tom grew to be like a brother to me as well. I was there when they announced their pregnancy with their first child, when Amanda found out she was going to be a girl and came and visited me in Wilmington after I moved there for college, she held my hand when I found out AJ was going to be boy because Antonio wasn't in the state due to the military. Our bond we shared grew even more when we both moved back to the Midwest a few years ago, visiting each other yearly.

I bawled happy tears when I got the call that they wanted me to be at the wedding. It was planned to be a family only event, and I cried happy tears through the whole phone call.

Those tears lasted for much of the wedding, and I was so glad to be on the other side of the camera for those tear jerking moments. And thankfully, no one got a photo of our ugly cry dance at the end of the night.

The day was beautiful though, and even though it rained before the ceremony, you would have never known come time to walk down the aisle. It was perfection. 

Here are a few of my favorite moments from the day.

Congrats to Amanda and Tom, you finally got hitched!!
