Amanda + Garrett wedding {by liz & meredith}

I am totally limited on time today so I am NOT going to ramble. I also think that this group of photos will very much speak for themselves. I always tell people that if they enjoy their wedding day and have fun with each other, no matter what, they will have great wedding photos. Smiles are beautiful. They are contagious and looking at these images makes me want to smile right back. Amanda, your smile is 100% contagious. I cannot begin to tell you how shocked both Meredith and I were when we found out that you are both lawyers. This is not a knock on the profession whatsoever! I have some great friends who are attorneys, but you generally know what they do as soon as you meet them. It tends to come with a certain demeanor and outlook on life. (Generally type A to be exact!) You two though, just so happy, laid back and easy going all day long. So many smiles. And I mean real ones. Ready to smile back at the screen? Here goes!

Let’s start with a few pretty little things.

Garrett is quite used to wearing cufflinks – I should have had a stopwatch timing how quickly he did this.  It DID NOT make capturing it easy!  Most guys give me plenty of time to get this shot.  Garrett did not. ;)

These fun viney huts are gone now.  They were so cool and will be missed.  I only used them a coupe of times for photos – you guys were the last!

The willow tree kept trying to eat them.  It wasn’t cooperating.  Which made us all laugh.

Time to party!  Off to the Visitor’s Center in Forest Park.

Giant tennis ball groom’s cake was fun!  Meredith had to take this shot because I wasn’t tall enough.  (Poor me…wee little violins playing.) I think I’m going to start toting around a step stool.
