Anderson DM’d me on Instagram three days before their wedding, asking if I was available to photograph their elopement. We had met when I photographed their engagement at the end of 2018. They had to postpone their big wedding celebration for a year due to COVID-19, but - as Ainsley so succinctly put it - “We were really ready to be married.”
So happy to get to be there for one of the most joyful unions.
Amanda & Parker's One Night Only spectacular took us through the streets of Portsmouth, to the Wilder bar for perfect light, to their ceremony and their magnificent mid-ceremony cocktail, to a perfect first song performance, to a night of hilarious toasts and wild dancing. One Night Only and Then Forever - definitely one to remember.
When Sarah & Sean first reached out to be to photograph their wedding, they said, "Our venue's very dark, but it seems to match your style." And when their wedding day arrived, I fell completely in love with their venue. The rain, the wind, a change of ceremony location... none of that mattered. Sarah was so excited to marry Sean, Sean was so excited to marry Sarah, everything was beautiful, and when I asked each to pose serious for a photo, it was difficult to get them to stop smiling. The day was perfectly wonderful, and I was so pumped to be there to capture an awesome couple at one of the coolest venues.
Britt's sister, the maid of honor, began her wedding toast by saying, "I'm just curious, how many of you here tonight consider Britt & Jeff to be some of your best friends?" The entire wedding erupted in cheers.
Britt & Jeff are great. Jeff would throw his championship WWE belt in the air while Britt smoked a cigarette in her flowered wedding dress and leather jacket. They're also incredibly kind, laid-back, and so, so genuine.
Their wedding was a DIY masterpiece and a true celebration of love, for one another and everyone surrounding them. I felt real lucky to be there to capture it.
