Ben + Amanda - The Wedding

Last weekend, I had the honor of joining more than 70 of Amanda + Ben's friends and family in Mexico to witness them say "I do", and it could not have been more beautiful! The fact that more than 70 people traveled to join their celebration is a huge statement to how awesome Amanda and Ben are as a couple, and you could feel the excitement of everyone the whole weekend. 

The ceremony, which overlooked the beach, was so personalized to Amanda and Ben and a great representation of their love story. From a surprise flash mob to a most epic dance party, which didn't stop from the time the dj started to when he ended, the night was simply perfect. 

I was so honored to be a part of their day and you'll have to excuse the ridiculously long post below, because I just couldn't narrow down my favorites :) Enjoy a preview into Amanda + Ben's Mexico wedding!

This is why I LOVE first looks...seriously. Major thanks to Callie for pulling double duty as a bridesmaid and my second shooter, she grabbed that amazing shot on the left!

Larry + Michelle - Eagle Ridge Resort + Spa Wedding - Galena, IL

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Larry + Michelle last weekend as they celebrated their love with their friends and family and it was a true honor.  I was able to spend Friday night with them on a River Boat Cruise on the Mississippi River (photos to come later this week!) which was so fun, because I got to meet so many of their family and friends that had traveled far and wide for this special occasion!  It was a perfect night for a boat cruise, which led into a perfect day for a wedding on Saturday!

The sun was shining and, although a bit hot, it was a perfect day for a wedding.  Michelle + Larry did an impeccable job of planning their special day and there were beautiful details everywhere, from the flowers, to the wonderful gifts they gave to guests, everything was done beautifully.  Larry even went as far as to bring the bench that he proposed to Michelle on with him to Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa to surprise her while we were taking photos.  

Larry + Michelle, it was an honor to be a part of your wedding day and I can't thank you enough for welcoming me in to your celebration :) Hope you are enjoying your time together this week as newlyweds and that you enjoy this little sneak peek back into your wedding day!
