I loved that Amanda chose to do a First Look with her Dad as well! What a sweet moment!
Matt has a way of making Amanda feel special. Whether its proposing to her in the middle of the football field, where they both were in marching band together, or knowing exactly how to make her laugh and bring out the best smiles, he has this easy way of caring for her. Amanda is one of the most loyal and kind people I have ever met. She is so considerate of others and in general just looks out for people. Knowing both of those things, I knew that their wedding day would be really sweet and filled with touches that were personal to them both, but also to their friends and families.
The leaves were changing some amazing colors in the park next to the Church where the ceremony was held. That also happens to be the church where Amanda’s parents were married. See what I mean about specialness?? Well, we lucked out with weather, and the perfect fall colors. I couldnt be more happy to have been there on their day!! Matt and Amanda, thank you so much for allowing me to capture a piece of your lives. I hope you had so much fun in Panama!! Congratulations Schmitt’s!!
HUGE thanks to Karen Allen for shooting with me!
