July 7, 2007 is said to have been the biggest wedding day in history. According the theknot.com, there were three times as many weddings on 07/07/07 than any other weekend in July. Of all of the weddings taking place all over the world, Sarah and I felt very lucky to be shooting Tyler and Amanda's wedding at Gillam Farms in Judsonia, AR. It was a hot day, but the heat was easily forgettable with so many beautiful moments and unique touches throughout the day. Tyler and Amanda didn't want their guests to get too hot during the ceremony, so they had personalized water bottles waiting on guests in cold buckets of ice. They also had the cutest fans made with one of their engagement pictures on the front and the wedding program on the back. The couple is so loved, and it was obvious with all of the people who made the drive to the quaint town for the ceremony. There ended up not being enough chairs, so people were standing all around the gazebo where the ceremony took place. It was a sight to see!
This couple is soooo amazing! The chemistry they have together is incredible and rare. And, something that I think is so important, they have sooooo much fun together! I can't say enough good things about the two of them, so I will let the pictures do the talking....

Amanda had this pinned under her gown....

Classic beauty...

What a good looking guy....

Amanda and Tyler chose to see each other before the ceremony so that they could enjoy getting plenty of good pictures together. The courtyard was such an ideal spot for them to see each other for the first time. So romantic....

This moment brought tears to my eyes....





The ceremony site was gazebo set out in the middle of a pond....

The kiss....

The new Mr. and Mrs....so happy!

Such a fun group!

haha!!! Love it!!!

Cutting the cake! If Amanda looks like she's up to something....

....it's because she was!!!!

First dance....



The wedding party choreographed a dance set to a mix of fun old school songs! It was sooo entertaining for everyone! So fun to see! The dance ended with Tyler spinning Amanda around to "(I've Had) The Time of my Life" - you know the one from Dirty Dancing.....it was so great!

They happy couple on their way.....

Tyler and Amanda, thank you for choosing us to document your day. It was an incredible one!! We love you guys and wish you the best!! Hope you are enjoying your honeymoon!!!

I can't believe I didn't tell you that your niece is photographing our wedding! I remember way back when I first started blogging, I saw that Crystal had commented on one of your posts, so I went to her site. I was IN LOVE immediately. I sent my mom the site address and told her "We need to book her now!" And I wasn't even engaged yet. LOL I stuck to it, and we met with her in Conway just a few months ago to set things up. So thanks to you, I found my dream photographer. Thanks Cynthia!
