100%. That was the chance of rain as I rolled over and checked my phone on the morning of Nick and Amanda’s wedding. And we weren’t talking 100% for part of the day; my phone said 100% for the entire day! And rain, it did! However, not even the mini river flowing through the streets could dampen Nick and Amanda’s joy. And that’s just the kind of people they are: kind, fun-loving, and go-with-the-flow;  the relaxed way Amanda & Nick love each other is just natural.

Luckily, the sun decided to appear just long enough for us to quickly capture outdoor portraits! Some of my other favorite moments included Amanda’s brother walking his daughter (the flower girl!) down the aisle, stopping in front of both family businesses to capture a quick photo, Nick’s surprise 2nd First Dance with Amanda to a Mario themed song, and bridal party toasts that required happy tears and laughter galore! Despite the forecast, it couldn’t have been a more perfect day, and I am so exited to share it with you today!
Love this shot of Amanda and her Dad!Love this!
Love the one on the right! Amanda, you are gorgeous! One of my favorites!

Nick and Amanda,

Thank you so much for including me in your day — it was absolutely perfect, and I loved witnessing the beginning of your married life together! It has been a joy getting to know you both, and I can’t wait to see where the years take you. No matter what they hold, I know you will handle it together with the same love, patience, and joy you shared on this day :) Congratulations!!!

Love love love,

Sami
