Amanda & Steven’s Wedding at Town Manor in Auburndale, Florida

Amanda contacted me in need of a photographer for her wedding that was just a month away! I’m so grateful that I was available for their special day! Amanda & Steven were both so welcoming when I arrived. Their love and devotion to each other was very apparent as they stood at the altar.

It was wonderful to share in their special day, alongside family and friends. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to capture your beautiful love story!

• How did you and your fiance meet?

  Online! Steve was living in Indiana, looking to move back to Florida. Amanda was living in Florida. We met for first time about 2 months into relationship and then Steve made the permanent move down to Florida about 9 months later.

• How long were you and your fiance together & what was the length of your engagement?

  We’ve been together a little over two years, and have been engaged since December 2016.

• How did you know that he/she was THE ONE for you?

  Outlook on love and life, sense of humor, core values – they all increased our attraction to each other. And then, the ease of being with one another, truly seeing each other as future partners, living together, building a life and home together – love beyond words.

• Tell us briefly about how he/she proposed:

  He proposed down by the water near the marina in our favorite city in the world, St. Petersburg, one of the first places we went to after the big move!

• Describe your wedding day style in one sentence.

  Intimate.

• Describe your wedding planning process up until now. (Was it what you expect? Easier? Harder? Who helped you?)

  More extensive than envisioned for a “small, intimate wedding”. But Nandy and Town Manor have help tremendously in planning, setting us up with vendors, and guiding us through the whole process, all in under 45 days!

• Tips you could pass on to other brides in the planning process?

  It is easy to get swept up in the circus of wedding planning – always take a couple steps back and refocus on what is really important – just the two of you. Your love and joining in marriage. Nothing else matters.

• Anything you would have done differently?

  Eloped!

• Most memorable moment during the planning process

  Meeting with Nandy for the first time and touring Town Manor – definitely a magical moment, like ahhhh we have found the place!
