1920s Art Deco Inspired Wedding – Jessie and Michael

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  12th January 2015

Ahh friends! You have no idea how excited we are to be sharing this beautifully special wedding with you! We have been quiet over here on the blog… but life has certainly not been quiet!!! (Instagram @AMZLifeTogether and @Liz_and_Ryan is your best bet to see what we have been up to most recently!) But in the meantime, we are super pumped to be back to blogging with Jessie and Michael’s 1920’s Art Deco Inspired Wedding!

This extra special wedding is actually my cousin’s wedding!!! Michael married his amazing wife back in October! We welcomed Jessie into the family with a super intimate and super special wedding at the Melange Bed & Breakfast in Hendersonville, NC!

The day was magical. The celebration was sweet. And it was exactly the way Jessie and Michael dreamed it to be! It was such an incredible honor to be there to celebrate and document their day! As I was going back through the images and reliving their day, I was reminded of how meaningful every single moment of the day was! Their smiles say it all! I am pretty sure I have never seen Michael’s smile so big… and for that, Jessie… thank you!!! ;)

As photographers and cousins… these photos will forever warm our hearts and have special meaning to us! Jessie and Michael, thank you for the opportunity to share in your love and document it in a way that will hopefully always remind you of how truly magical the love is that you share! Thank you for being such a beautiful example of love! Congratulations and here’s to living your incredibly AMAZING lives together!

Huge thanks to all of the AMAZING wedding professionals who came together to help make Jessie and Michael’s wedding so special!

Federal Hill Baltimore – Kristin and Danny, Kooper & Khloe

Family, Love, Stories Documented  //  25th November 2014

Ok, if you have ever been around me when I see a bulldog, you know that I kind of freak out a bit! I get super excited and I might just scream out loud! ;) It doesn’t happen with any other type of dog, just bulldogs. I am a little obsessed… or just really in love with them! ;)

You have no idea how excited I was for Kristin and Danny’s photo session! Yes, I could not wait to see Kooper again and to meet their newest edition, Khloe! ;) But, I can honestly say I was even more excited to see Kristin and Danny again! It has been so long since their dreamy Punta Cana destination wedding and a hug from them was long overdue! ;)

It is safe to say that the smile on my face during and after their session was definitely HAPPY!!! So grateful for such AMAZING couples in our lives and their sweet sweet bulldogs that bring out the best smiles in all of us! ;)

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Downtown Boston Engagement Photos – Sarah and Eddie

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  18th November 2014

These two! Ohh my goodness! Sarah and Eddie are so much fun! They gave us the most AMAZING tour of Boston while looking absolutely incredible! ;) We had so much fun wandering around some of the most beautiful places in Boston!

We are such huge fans of exploring cities with the locals! And so often as we stroll around a new place, we wish that we had a couple that we could photograph in the beautiful places we come across! Fortunately for us, Sarah and Eddie made that happen for us in Boston! ;)

Sarah and Eddie’s smiles and happiness glow in such an AMAZING way! My cheeks definitely hurt from smiling so much with them! Love when that happens!

Sarah and Eddie! Thank you for treating us to such a beautiful fall afternoon in Boston! We cannot wait to celebrate with you again soon!!!

Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding – Ali and Phil

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  14th November 2014

It has been complete craziness over here… in the best way possible! ;) We are just getting back from a 10 state road trip to host the Amazing Life Escape! It was definitely beyond AMAZING and our hearts are super full from that! Since getting home, our days have included editing, editing, editing, photographing, running all kinds of errands, packing up our home (eeek… only a few more days until we give the keys to the renters! Ahhh!), filing out more 501c3 paperwork for Amazing Life Together, ordering a ton of albums in order to make sure they get here for the holidays!, finalizing logistics for Africa, ohh and finalizing all of the details for our RV that we are scheduled to pick up in just a few days! Ohh my goodness. Yes, crazy is probably the best word for it!

(For those of you who are saying to yourselves “WHAT in the world are they doing?!?,” you can read all about it at www.amazinglifetogether.com! Please join us for the AMAZING Marriage Adventure! ;) )

When life gets crazy, blogging seems to fall to the bottom of the to-do list! But the longer we have the photos ready to share with you without sharing them- my excitement grows more and more! You have no idea how excited we are to share the love of our beautiful couples with you! Ali and Phil… you guys make our hearts smile and we know it is only contagious from there! ;)

Ali and Phil were married at the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on Oct 18th after a church ceremony the night before! It was such an honor for us to be with them and their family and friends for the full weekend, to capture the special moments from their wedding celebration! We always say a wedding is not just an 8 hour event… and for Ali and Phil, this was definitely confirmed! ;) It was a weekend full of so much love… and it was an honor to be a part of!

Ali and Phil- thank you for the AMAZING opportunity to capture your gorgeous wedding weekend! We are so grateful for you and the love that surrounds you! Wishing you nothing but complete happiness always!

HUGE thanks to everyone who helped make Ali and Phil’s wedding celebrations so special! Especially Intrigue Designs for introducing us to Ali and Phil! So grateful!

The Oaks Waterfront Inn Wedding – Casie and Justin

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  3rd November 2014

We have been on the edge of our seats with excitement to share Casie and Justin’s AMAZING Oaks Waterfront Inn Wedding with you all! Casie and Justin have been enjoying a fabulous honeymoon in Europe and we wanted to wait until they got home so they could enjoy the photos right along with everyone else! ;) YAY for a magical honeymoon & getaway!

Casie and Justin are two of the happiest people in the world!!! Seriously, their love and happiness radiates from them and just makes us want to be by their sides always! That’s what friends do, right? These two definitely walked into our lives as a bride and groom looking for a wedding photographer, and will certainly stay in our lives as friends & family forever! (Their families too… so incredibly sweet! ;) )

They drew us in… along with every single one of their family and friends. We all felt the love and could not be more excited to celebrate with them! (Which is just one of the reasons why their dance floor was hopping all night!- and the fact that the Doug Segree Band was there was probably another great reason for that! ;) )!

Casie and Justin… thank you for being such a BEAUTIFUL example of love! You two just make our hearts smile so incredibly big and we are so grateful for that! We wish you so much love and happiness always!!!

HUGE thanks to the whole team at the Oaks and EVERYONE who helped make Casie and Justin’s day so incredibly AMAZING (They had a dream team for sure!)!
