I met Shaun last year from Jim & Ashely’s wedding last summer. He was part of the groomsmen that took their pants down for a picture. With that being said, it was only natural for me to photograph his wedding. Shaun and Amanda are both teachers and this whole wedding was absolutely creative and gorgeous from start to finish. Amanda was so creative with all the little details for her “Teacher” themed wedding. I honestly have to say I hit the jackpot with this one. Beautiful couple, great looking wedding party, detail, detail, details, gorgeous church, and an air conditioned tent at the reception!  This was the first time there was a table for two for the photographer and his assistant. I mean with the same details and center piece from all of the other tables made specially for us! How sweet is that?  Little things like that tells me a lot about a human being,  how thoughtful and caring they truly are. I guess that is why they both decided to be teachers. This wedding went smooth and on time. The only mishap was Amanda leaving her note to Shaun at home for our note exchange but she recovered very well. She wrote parts of her note from memory on the spot and the show went on. It was a great moment even though she didn’t get the chance to finish Shaun’s three page typed novel of a note!

It was really hard to cut down on the amount of pictures to post since there are so many that I love. Congratulations again to Amanda & Shaun! Your wedding was memorable for us and we hope we did the same for you.  Thank you.
