Hi! I'm Hope!

We had the perfect weather for a wedding this past Saturday at The Barn at Granite Ridge Farms for Amanda & Chris’ big day!

It’s so hard to believe that literally a year ago we had just done their fall engagement session. Man, time really does fly! But today I want to drop you in on some precious moments from their wedding at The Barn at Granite Ridge Farms.

Amanda & Chris are very giving people so they made sure everyone felt welcome & included with special gifts at the rehearsal dinner for all the family and wedding party. We also took some really special images at the rehearsal dinner with her forever besties.

They had watched Mean Girls in high school, and got the idea to create a book that was the exact opposite of The Burn Book. They called it, “The Flippy”, and it was filled with their biggest milestones, hardships, etc.

It was a way for them to stay connected & bonded. (Does that not sound like something out of a teenage coming of age movie?? How amazing! Friend goals right there!)

Then on the day of the wedding Amanda made sure to give her daughter Veda an extra special gift.

She had let me in on the secret the week before the wedding, but she gave her, her own Instax camera to take photos with at the wedding. It was such a sweet mother/daughter moment as you’ll have to see below.

Everything was so beautiful at the ceremony site, and all the flowers for her big day were filled with special meaning. Ever Be Floral did a wonderful job at incorporating blue hydrangeas for her. It was something blue to honor her son Maddox . Cue the tissues

I really hope you enjoy taking a peek into this big day full of surprises!
