It was Easter Sunday, and Amanda eagerly awaited for Kevin to arrive at her parents home.  She knew he would bring her something sweet, and in all honesty, she just couldn’t wait to see him.  Kevin quickly wiped his hand on his pants as he rang the doorbell, removing any evidence of the nervous excitement he felt.  He had taken precautions in making sure Amanda was completely surprised, and he didn’t want to give anything away now.  Opening the door, Amanda found Kevin holding an Easter basket filled with chocolates and an adorable stuffed bunny.  In the bunny’s hand lay a plastic egg.  “Open it”, Kevin encouraged her.  Amanda’s sweet smile turned to a look of pure shock as she popped open the tiny egg, revealing a sparkly diamond ring!  As she watched her high school sweetheart get down on one knee and propose, a huge smile spread across her face.  She hugged him, saying the one word Kevin was waiting to here.  Yes!

On May 3rd, Amanda and Kevin tied the knot in a beautiful Brooklake Country Club wedding.  Their day was absolutely gorgeous and there was not a cloud in the sky! After their outdoor ceremony, Amanda and Kevin took a sunset stroll together before dancing the night away with their family and friends.  I couldn’t be happier for this incredible couple and I am looking forward to sharing their beautiful wedding with you.  Check out a few of my favorites from their day below!

Amanda wore a stunning Enzoani gown from I Do I Do in Morristown, NJ.

Peonies…does a prettier flower exist? 🙂

I am loving all the soft colors Amanda incorporated into her wedding.  How pretty are these pink Badgley Mischka shoes?!

Amanda’s sister made sure she looked absolutely perfect before she walked down the aisle.

As I was photographing the girls, Jess of Love and Light Photographs was capturing the guys getting ready.  Thanks for doing such an amazing job!

Amanda and Kevin’s “first look” might have been my favorite part of the entire day.  Their reactions were filled with pure joy!

Lovely bridesmaids, inside and out.

Looking cool guys!

LOVE.

The ceremony took place on the back patio of the Brooklake Country Club.  The view was spectacular!

A ball of emotion all week, everyone watched closely to see if Amanda’s father would cry as he walked his daughter down the aisle.

HAPPILY MARRIED!

After the ceremony, we took Amanda and Kevin out again for some pretty sunset photos.

…Jess was getting this!  Love this intimate moment.

Amanda and Kevin’s reception was decorated with soft pink and cream flowers nestled among vintage lanterns.

Amanda and Kevin shared their first dance to Adele’s “You Make Me Feel My Love“.

Congratulations again Amanda and Kevin!  Your Brooklake Country Club wedding was absolutely amazing!  It was obvious how happy you both felt on your wedding day and I hope that happiness only continues to grow in the years to come.
