Amanda & Lance are married!! After meeting in the 6th grade and starting to date in the 8th grade, after many school dances and proms, after starting their careers and purchasing their own home… finally, they are married!! And you couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect wedding day for two people that waited SO long for this day to come! It was sunny and warm for an April wedding day. And there were zero glitches! Literally perfect.

Amanda and Lance were in amazing hands at the Estate at Florentine Gardens. Amanda glowed as she got ready with her bridesmaids – we even popped (sprayed) some champagne to celebrate!! The girls looked stunning in their satin pajamas and even more stunning when they changed into their satin bridesmaids’ dresses in the softest blush tone. Lance and his groomsmen looked sharp in their groomsmen But Amanda looked absolutely flawless in her entire bridal look from her slick back wavy hair to her beautiful lace dress. I asked if she thought Lance would cry at the sight of her walking down the aisle (especially since they didn’t do a first look and he wouldn’t be seeing her until the ceremony) and she said he wasn’t really too emotional but sure enough… his eyes filled with tears as he saw her. It was so exciting to see that and I’m sure it made the moment even more special for both of them! They exchanged their vows and rings and finally these two high school sweethearts were officially husband and wife!!

After the ceremony, we took some fun bridal party and family portraits and then the portraits of the two of them as the sunset. Inside, the candles were being lit and the ballroom was filling up with anxious guests ready to eat, drink and celebrate the beautiful couple. They shared their first dance with sparklers going off and after parent dances and sweet toasts from the maid of honor and best man, the party started! Guests enjoyed the photo booth, late-night donuts, and dancing and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen so much air guitar on one dance floor – and I loved it! It was such a FUN celebration to end the incredible day it was!

Amanda and Lance – congratulations on an AMAZING wedding day!! I wish you two nothing but the absolute best in your future together!! Enjoy my favorites from their wedding day! 🙂
