amanda + jake | wedding at bell mer, newport, ri

When Amanda contacted me to ask If I would be willing to document her and Jake's wedding day, we discussed and I {without hesitation} said I would love to be there. I didn't know Jake at the time but what I knew of Amanda was that she surrounds herself with the most vibrant and beautiful people {which is how I met her... through family/friends}. So I knew this day was going to be overflowing with love and excitement in celebration of a life shared together. 

After I shot their engagement photos I got even more excited for July 5. Amanda and Jake are truly a match made in heaven... both hilariously funny, genuine, kind natured and adventurous. They already have spent so many of their days together traveling the world and discovering new places and spaces. They are pretty amazing people separately, together they are a barrel of laughs and share such a strong love. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that they will share a beautiful + magnificent journey together. 

Their wedding day was filled with so much love, not just between Jake and Amanda but between all of their closest friends and family that took part in their celebration. From the speeches to the dance floor, there wasn't an ounce of that room that wasn't filled with a contagious and electrifying vibrance for life. 

Jake + Amanda, I wish you all the best and can't wait to watch you live the life together that you deserve.
