This time last week we had just come home from a SUPER great wedding. Amber had the day planned to a “t” and everything went better than we could have hoped for. She had nice typed out itineraries of the ceremony and reception for the entire wedding party, and let me tell you that often it was down to the 15 minutes….this girl knows what she is doing. We ended up getting everything in that she wanted, with time to spare at sunset for some awesome portrait time with just the two of them.
Amber was just about the most beautiful bride in the world.
Andy had a gift sent in to her while she was getting ready. It was a necklace that held very special meaning to them. She was trying not to cry here. :)
Amber’s Mama is straightening her veil….
Meanwhile, Brett took the guys out for some shots….
He had so many GREAT shots with Andy and each of his groomsmen, I just had to show you one of each! Oh how I could embarrass a few of you, but I won’t. :)
The girls began doing the finishing touches….Amber’s something blue was the girls all signing her shoes. I loved how there were so many sentimental touches throughout the day.
The precious little flower girl, sharing what she thinks about all of this. :)
Amber with her two sisters…HEY Ashley and Adrienne!!!
A moment with her Dad before the ceremony.
Andy’s first time seeing his bride. YES, there were sweet tears.
Amber looked beautiful. Oh, and the petals that the flower girl threw down the isle were all petals Amber dried from flowers given to her by Andy. Go Andy, and go Amber! I love this idea.
Picture time! Is that someone doing the worm across the street???!!
Head to head. This shot was an idea of one of the groomsmen. Thy were so much fun!
Brett and I just laughed and laughed seeing these shots. They got some serious AIR! Even Amber’s sister who is pregnant was 3 feet off the ground!! These were some happy folks.
The bridesmaids all kicked off their shoes…..
….and then I think we captured one of the most unique bridal party shots I’ve seen. :) Amber’s bother Alex is the one hanging from the tree upside down.
Around sunset we had a blast taking photos. Amber is just STUNNING.
Amber and Andy…we have so enjoyed the time we have gotten to share with you two. Amber, it has been great to be able to share in this part of your life, because even when you were a little girl playing with Ashley I knew you would grow up to be such a beautiful woman inside and out, and you so have. Whenever I see you the word that comes to mind is, JOY. It seems that not much can steal your joy, and I so admire that about you! Andy, it has been great to meet you and get to know you. Your love for Amber shines through and through and Brett and I are so happy you two found each other. We wish you all the best on this journey, and we hope to watch you guys grow together over the years.

WOW!!! The picture of Amber hugging his knee needs to be on the cover of a magazine – seriously gorgeous!!
J&B – great shoot … personally, I fell in love with the shot of Amber with her dad! Cried my eyes out, it showed so much of a sweet, precious moment between them. I felt it as if I had been there with them.
