This was one for the storybooks. Amanda and Nate’s day is one we find ourselves looking back on often - it was one of the highlights of our 2019 season, and it’s NO surprise why. Not only was their day stunningly beautiful from start to finish, the LOVE they, their families and friends all have for each other was palpable throughout the ceremony and reception. We were giddy as soon as we walked into the bridal suite!! Take a peek at their drool-worthy day - you won’t want to miss their sparkly first dance at the end!

Q: What was your favorite part of the day?
A: "It’s so hard to pick just one portion of the day as a favorite because every moment of the day truly was so memorable. Walking down the aisle holding my dads arm- once the doors opened, seeing my husband for the first time, & seeing all of our friends and family at the ceremony. That is a moment I’ll cherish forever. Then of course celebrating with everyone afterwards!"

Q: What is a meaningful memory from your Wedding Day?
A: "Celebrating the moments with our parents and grandparents. Although 3 grandparents were partaking from Heaven, having our parents and grandparents present was something that was very important to Nate and I, and something that we know not many are fortunate enough to have. We made unforgettable memories with them all and have some pretty amazing photos to keep with us forever!"
Q: Talk to us about your Album!
A: "Our wedding photo album doubles as both a beautiful keepsake & a fantastic arm workout. It weighs nearly 10 lbs and is the MOST high quality album we have ever seen- a focal point of our living room where we keep on display at all times. One of our most prized possessions! The glass image cover, leather binding, thick card stock pages. Each page different- some with multiple photos printed per page, some with one large blown up photo, but our favorite is the centerfold that has 3 images blended into each other. We had never seen an album like this before, and are still speechless every time we look through it."
Q: What exciting things does the future hold for you two?
A: "We hope to start a family, get a dog, and live in a covid-free world so we can get back to spending time with our friends and family!"
Q: Is there a photo (or photos) that stand out to you as particularly special?
A: "All!! Specifically ceremony action photos, the Hyatt rooftop photos, and photos with immediate family (us with our parents, joining families) - just so many!"
Q: What was something that surprised you?
A: "Seeing our reception set up. At cocktail hour our Hyatt wedding coordinator, Chet, snuck Nate and I into the ballroom before everyone. Seeing all of our ideas and many many months of planning come to life in front of our eyes- and PERFECTLY executed- was just amazing. It was so beautiful and we were extremely grateful to Chet and his team- they absolutely nailed it!"

Q: Anything else you'd like to share about your wedding?
A: "We wish we could relive this day over and over again- as I’m sure most say. But our day was truly perfect, from start to finish. Everything went above and beyond our expectations, we couldn’t be more grateful!"
