Amanda + Chris wedding {by kate}

This “fall flashback” is one of my favorites mostly because I adore the bride and groom.  It doesn’t hurt that they had a super cute wedding full of fun people…but Amanda and Chris are good people.  They are the kind of people you hope are in the seats next to you on the airplane — and for those of you who know me, that’s saying a lot!!  They had their rehearsal dinner at a tiny old schoolhouse in Columbia IL…. the outhouses had to be photographed….my question:  who is the star and who is the moon?!?

LOVE this little touch… denim from Grandpa’s dungarees sewn into the bride’s dress as both a remembrance AND something borrowed and blue!
