This wedding was one for the books! You may remember Amanda and Mark from their amazing engagement session here. They really could not have had a more perfect day! We have never seen a wedding day go so smoothly and this destination wedding was a dream to capture. We drove 4 hours up to the west coast of Florida to Anna Maria island and we immediately fell in love with this quaint little town. Everything about this wedding was so perfect, from the moment we started shooting all the way to the very end. We could not have been happier photographers! Vic and I loved capturing Amanda and Mark and we were so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their special day.
Loved how simple and elegant her jewelry was
Mark’s mom made these bride and groom Chick-fil-A cows by hand. Amanda and Mark met because they both work for Chick-fil-A. Such a cute detail!
All of our brides are gorgeous but Amanda you looked breath-taking!
Our handsome groom!
Mom was beaming the entire time Amanda was getting ready, and with every right!
Apparently we are hilarious!
Have we ever mentioned how much we love first looks?!? And how sweet was it for Mark to bring flowers for her?
Geez, we love you two together!
This bouquet is absolutely gorgeous!
Yea, I’m pretty obsessed with these light teal bridesmaids dresses
How gorgeous are Amanda’s bridesmaids?
These guys were absolutely hilarious!
And then more bride and groom portraits… We love having so much time for portraits!!!
Amanda had both her father and step-father walk her down the aisle because both men have played such an important role in her life.
What a view! The Sandbar Restaurant, you did not disappoint!
You’re married!!!
Amanda and Mark gave us even more time after the ceremony and these next images are some of our favorites ever!!!
You’ve got to be kidding me! This light was so good I think Vic even let out a yell at one point from how excited he was haha
Oh. Em. Gee!!! Mark, you are one lucky guy!
We really can’t pick a favorite!
Aaaahhhhhh! These are the moments we love and live for!
First dance as husband and wife
Dancing with her step-father. Total tear jerker!
Then Amanda dedicated this dance to a friend of hers named Quinn, that passed away much too young. The man she’s dancing with is Quinn’s father.
And let the party begin!
A special thank you to my brother Jonathan for capturing a behind-the-scenes of both of us!
