Fall has officially begun, and this wedding was the perfect hello to it!  Warm, fall colors and textures, beautiful crisp weather (with just the right amount of warmth and sun)…it was all just ideal!

But the thing that struck me the most over and over again at this wedding was the people.  We were so warmly welcomed by Amanda and Dom’s family and bridal party.  I am not sure I have seen a large bridal party like this that was more available and engaged in the couple and the wedding day.  They certainly brought the fun…but they were so attentive and willing to do what it took to make the day fabulous, and I loved it!  In addition, I of course have to mention Dom and Amanda.  I witnessed so many sweet moments between him and his family– his adoring mama and dad just beamed with pride all day, and I loved the interactions between him and his brothers.  And as I shared on social media, Amanda was just everything for everyone on her wedding day– there wasn’t a baby she didn’t kiss, a kid she didn’t dance with, or a guest she did not warmly greet and catch up with, and it was just so fun to get a little glimpse into their real lives while they were doing this enormous thing together.  They are so clearly loved, and so clearly supported…it made the day even more beautiful.  Here are some (many!) of my favorites!

This new location for Willow and Birch Salon is the absolute BEST with these gorgeous windows– but it’s alllll this  bride that made them look so very fabulous!!! #SQUADGOALS!  These girls were just amazing and so on for Amanda ALL DAY LONG. This little guy was the sweetest!  This is a typical shot my husband always gets for wedding parties, but since my fabulous assistant Sarah was my second shooter, I went ahead and grabbed it for him. 😉 So sweet! Such a beautiful ceremony!!! Such a good looking group! The sun popped out just in time for their portraits!! Amanda you are just so gorgeous!! I could not love these anymore!
These two had the most lovely sunset at their engagement session, and with the way the day started out I never would have expected they would get this gorgeous night as well!!!  But they did!!! Amanda and Dom, your wedding was just so beautiful and it was such an honor to witness it! Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of it- I hope you love these (many!) favorites of mine!
