Taylor + Amanda

filed in:

This past weekend Michael and I drove up to Selinsgrove, PA for Taylor and Amanda’s wedding! Last time we saw them, we were almost run over by wild horses on Assateague island during their engagement shoot!! We had so much fun with them this summer that we had high expectations for their wedding! We knew it was going to be a blast and we weren’t disappointed! Michael and I pulled through the adorable little town and quickly arrived at the Stone Barn. What a cute venue!! This property is full of awesome old barns and it’s settled beside a creak. The ceremony was tucked under the trees beside the water and it was such a peaceful location for a wedding! The portrait locations were limitless! I was in heaven!! Old barns, tall grass, beautiful trees, ivy covered walls…. I could go on and on!

Taylor and Amanda have waited for 9 years for this day! They deserved a perfect celebration and that’s exactly what they received! Friends and family all gathered in one place, played lawn games, drank, ate amazing food and danced the night away! Amanda’s maid of honor toasted to the newlyweds and thanked them for uniting so many people together. It was evident that Taylor and Amanda’s relationship has brought so much joy to so many people!! It was an honor to be the ones who captured their day. Amanda is a photographer and so it means so much that she chose us!!! Enjoy this colorful wedding day!!

So much color!!! Such a sweet daddy/daughter first look!! They opted for a first look and I’m so thankful because these moments are priceless and couldn’t happen at the end of the aisle!  Love these colors!!! Love these colors!!! Married! Love these shots from their first few minutes as husband and wife!!! Look at this BARN!!! Adorable Kid’s table!! Amanda is awesome! Custom kid’s coloring books!! Smore’s boxes!!!
