Amie and I go way WAY back! We first met through her older brother and soon after became friends. She was hair stylist for years. Amie was even the first Hair & Makeup Artist that I worked with on my first ever concept/fashion shoot back in 2010.
Basically she is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
When Amie moved back to Indiana from Nashville I was sad to lose my favorite hairstylist who made me look cooler than I am, but more importantly, one of the coolest chicks I know!
When I saw Amie got engaged to Nathan via Facebook, I let out a little squeal of excitement since we had spoken briefly before about me photographing her wedding. Once we nailed the details it was on my calendar!
Amie + Nathan I was so honored to share your wedding day with you.
HUGE THANKS TO Kristen Mittlestedt for second shooting / assisting.
We started the day at the hotel where the girls were getting ready. Amie had really cute shoes from Betsey Johnson and the shoebox was so great that I decided to use it to show off the rings and jewelry.
Amie was wearing the most beautiful couture style dress with a detailed bow on the back.
Then we were off to the hotel to meet up with the groom and grab a few shots before the First Look.
We chose this awesome hallway that was low on foot traffic and rather private for Nathan + Amie’s first look.
Not going to lie, there was a tear in Nathan’s eye even before he saw his beautiful bride.
The image below is one of my favorites from the day!
We started to head over to the Grand Wayne Convention Center across the street. As we headed down the stairs I saw the most beautiful window light so naturally we stopped for a few photos.
Once we arrived at the Grand Wayne Center we had a few minutes before the rest of the wedding party would meet up with us. Now that the nerves of the first look were over, smiles and laughs were sure to show up.
Seriously can they be any cuter?
Amie, such a GORGEOUS bride!
Once the ladies arrived, we started snapping away! LOVE THE REFLECTIONS!
Amie had bridesmaids with seriously great personalities!
Look at these handsome fellas.
We quickly rearranged the furniture to grab an epic wedding party shot. When I say we I should really say that I said, “Hey guys, can you move this couch here and this chair there.” Thank God for strong men.
We practically ran out of Grand Wayne Center to rush over to The Shiloh to take family photos prior to the ceremony.
Off to the cermony…
We needed to get a couple more wedding party photos…
The sunset and clouds were so beautiful and made for the perfect final portraits before the reception.
Off to the reception!
Nathan and Amie so in love and having so much fun!
This was one of the most special moments of Nathan + Amie’s day. Nathan’s cousin who was very close in age lost his life a few months prior to the wedding and he planned a special dance with his aunt. I had a hard time photographing as tears were rolling down my face. I could see it meant the world to her and the dance ended with a group hug.
Here’s where the party really starts… The garter & flower toss.
Let the dancing begin!!!!
Silhouette’s and Love… Two of my favorite things!
CONGRATS YOU TWO!!!!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
