This will always be a memorable wedding for me! It was the race against the rain! It was calling for rain all day but magically  held off  till the night! Couldn’t have asked for a better overcast day! We ended up at Eaton Hall which was perfect location for their photo session, lots of beautiful spots and we had the place to ourselves!

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: Romantic, Unique, and Sparkly!

What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: Our First Look (cried like a baby), having our photos done at a location we really liked and getting ready with my girls in the morning.
Groom: Definitely seeing Amanda for the first time (I was so nervous)…. And of course the food!

Best wedding related decision: Taking a chance on having our photos done at a place that we did not have a permit for. The location was perfect and we had the whole place to ourselves. Got all the photos done in less than 1 hour and before the rain started!

Favourite detail: Everything! We put some much effort and thought into all the details. We wanted everything to be perfect and memorable. Although I think I went a bit overboard with adding in everything from Pinterest!

Advice for future brides & grooms: Plan and book things in advance. Majority of the time prices go up every year, so you may save money by booking early.

Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? I probably would have invited only close friends and family to the ceremony. There were way too many people in a small space it was very overwhelming.

Best surprise of the day: The number of people who showed up for the ceremony! They had to add in extra rows of chairs to accommodate everyone.
