Amy and Clayton - Married

I would have to say that one of the hardest parts of my job is actually trying to decide what to write when I post pictures of a wedding. :) I talk about how every wedding is such a joy for me to be a part of, and I honestly mean that. I mean, your wedding is such a HUGE day in your life, and the people who choose to be a part of that make a difference in that day. So it's a big deal for me to be chosen as a part of wedding days. Each one humbles me in a special way.  Maybe I'm a little cheesy or emotional, but I think it's good that I feel that special bond with each of my couples. So needless to say, the wedding of Amy and Clayton did not disappoint in my love affair with weddings. Besides the fact that they are two of the most photogenic people I have ever photographed, their kindness and love is one that is just amazing to be a witness of. Although it was a very long day (and unbearably hot at some times - thanks for being troopers), this couple rocked it out from beginning to end. I know there is nothing but greatness for the two of them and I'm so honored to be the one to capture their beginning. Enjoy your sneak peek!


Gorgeous!

Love how the bride got a little choked up coming down the aisle


His expression makes me smile - so happy and in love



oh yea!
Amy and her twin sister - such beautiful ladies

Where their story began - The Ames Library





Oh - she was rocking it out all night long! :)


Congrats!

I absolutely LOVE the photos. Can't wait to see all of them! Amy, you look beautiful - Clayton, too handsome... - and the whole bridal party was gorgeous! Loved the color of the dresses. And the laughter and the tears coming down the aisle are the best part. Loved the kiss and flowers.
Thanks Amanda, for doing such a great job.

Love to you both,Amy and Clayton from Mom/Susan

Amanda - the photos are wonderful! You are truly a master of your craft. I was particularly impressed with how you were able to capture my bald spot with such clarity. With todays digital effects I was hoping for black hair with bald spot removed and maybe a little taller. Just joking! I really liked your use of depth-of-field, black and white, and the capture of candid moments. The pictures are outstanding and I can't wait to see them all. I am certainly the proud Dad and Father-in-Law.

Amy & Clayton - I love you both and wish you a lifetime of Love, Laughter and Happiness!

Thank you so much Amanda.

What beautiful pictures!! You did an amazing job and I'm ready to see more!! The black and white "kiss" shot was wonderful and so romantic :)

It was absolutely a perfect day and we are so happy that you were capturing those moments for us. Thank you so much, Amanda.

I can't wait to see Clayton and Amy's reactions to the pictures.

Are they a gorgeous couple, or what???

The sneak peak of the photos you took seem to capture Amy and Clayton's day perfectly. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. You took some beautiful pictures of our flower bouquets. We will recommend you to other bride's needing a photographer. Best Wishes to the Bride and Groom!

It is so good to know that Amy and Clayton are married now. The sneak peeks are eye catching. Even we are excited for our sister’s wedding reception that will be held at one of the beachside San Francisco wedding venues. I am working on the DIY table décor and my mom will handle the arrangements on the actual day.
