Amanda & Chad {wedding}

When Chad and Amanda booked with us last summer, they warned us that their wedding would be amazing….and was it ever. Prepare yourself for one of the most thoughtful, sentimental, fun, incredibly relaxed, and so so joyous of weddings! This day blew us away!

Amanda and Chad were married at The Inn of Oneonta, a venue that we absolutely adore.

This was one of the most romantic weddings we’ve ever witnessed. When they did their first look, it was as if no one else existed in the world but them. It was touching watching them take their time to love on each over, whisper sweetly, and hold each other…they did not rush it, and we so admired that.

I could have watched Amanda and her precious connection she has with her grandparents all day long.

See her sweet father looking at her as they walk down the isle? He gave her away, and then walked up on the stage to marry them. (LOVE!)

They had a bluegrass band singing and playing that was maybe the best I’ve ever heard. Of course their ceremony was wildly romantic–from personal tributes, remembrances, the most beautiful readings, and then they each read their handwritten vows. Talk about a beautiful ceremony.

Every single aspect of their wedding had personal touches intertwined. The general theme revolved around “roots” and family because Amanda grew up with her father telling her, “Amanda, always remember your roots.”

Singing! Lots of singing! Amanda is an actress, and many of their friends are actors, actresses, singers, and artists. It was so cool watching different friends take turns standing up to the mic and dedicating songs, surprising the couple with newly written pieces, and also seeing Amanda and Chad break a leg as well! These folks know how to have a good (and heartfelt) time, I tell ya.
