This Summer, I photographed Amber and Justin’s romantic and classic English Manor wedding photography! Amber and Justin chose The English Manor because they wanted a simple outdoor ceremony followed by a fun party with friends and family. My down to earth couple wanted their wedding day to reflect that. The English Manor has gorgeous grounds which allowed my couple to easily work with their soft, romantic theme.
The proposal: “Justin proposed in July 2016 on our coast to coast road trip! I was hoping Justin would propose on this trip and figured that if he did, it would be early on when we were in Savannah or New Orleans. However, time passed by without so much as a hint towards a proposal. After we made it to California and were on our way home, we stopped in Colorado to visit his cousin. We went on a day trip to Estes Park and when all hope was lost on my part, he proposed to me right by the lake in front of the mountains. It was beautiful! He even had his cousin and his cousins girlfriend take pictures and video of it happening, and because of this I will always be reminded of my super classy “are you shi**ing me” reaction.”
As their photographer, I absolutely loved their ceremony as well! I even remember looking at Amber’s mother after Justin’s vows and I saw her mouth “wow”. They were really THAT good! My second favorite moment of the day was when we sneaked outside for their romantic night photo. As I was photographing them it started to rain and that quickly turned into a sudden pour. I loved that my laid back couple laughed with me the whole time and still stood there for a couple of seconds longer just so I could capture the rain drops. After we captured the shot, we ran back inside together still laughing!
Take everything one step at a time! It’s a lot of work and you’ll definitely be busy, but Justin and I did not seem to get overwhelmed because we didn’t try to do it all at once.
Now that these two are back from their dream Europe honeymoon and back to school teaching, they hope to start looking for their dream home and eventually starting a family. Scroll through to view my favorites from this Summer The English Manor wedding!
