From Brandon:
Wedding days are my favorite days. The sense of story and emotion in the air can’t be replaced. Seeing two families come together, the nervousness, the shaky hands, the smiles, and the tears all lend themselves to a beautiful deep love story that’s unfolding in front of my camera – and it’s incredible to watch. I’m romantic in my belief that weddings should be about the bride and groom, that the experience comes before all else. It’s with that philosophy that I approach wedding days, making sure to document the day with a certain finesse that doesn’t interfere with the story.
Attracting brides that fall in love with the images that I shoot is my ultimate goal. Documenting wedding day happens much more naturally when I can shoot images that I love, knowing that the bride and groom will love them as well.

From Amanda:
My absolute favorite part of the day is when a bride and groom see one another for the very first time. Her flowing gown and perfume and his sleek suit and tie all squared away. The moment he sees his bride… time stands still – and I get to capture that. Sweet whispers are exchanged, and nervous laughter is washed away with a few tears. It’s beautiful to see and incredible to capture.
The future holds so much for the new couples we see come together on each weekend. As it’s said – to know where you’re going, you have to know where you’ve been. Documenting the beginnings of these new love stories give the couple a beautiful reminder of how it did begin.
