Amy & Warren: Married/ Wasington D.C. Wedding Photographer

She came out of the room in that beaded flapper dress (that must have weighed fifteen pounds) and the giant rose in her hair; my jaw dropped. She was radiant. Is radiant.

Amy has been in my life since the third grade. We had some fun times as kids but when college came along out friendship really expanded. I remember realizing that I didn’t have a roommate set for the freshman dorms. I had waited too long to get into anything decent and was relegated to Deseret Towers, which was sorta like a cinder-block prison without bars. I knew Amy was going to BYU as well and so one day at church I asked her if she’d want to room together. She said, “sure,” as lackadaisically as I had asked and that was that. We both had a rough year but were there for each other and lived together the rest of college together. She’s amazing.

And she chose an amazing guy to spend her life with. Warren is such a great guy. With the short time I was able to get to know him I knew he was so perfect for Amy. I am so grateful I was able to be there for their perfect day.

We photographed bridals on Thursday, the reception Friday and the actual marriage on Saturday. It made the bride and groom so much more at ease. We had a ball!

Amy thought of every detail for her vintage inspired reception. She found and designed everything herself. She is one in a million. This girl made her bouquet while she was getting her hair done. Crazy! She oozes talent. She hand drew her invitation and had it letterpressed on a friend’s press. So beautiful.

The wedding and luncheon were wonderful. It was fantastic to be a guest and the photographer. I loved everything about the wedding. I’m so glad I was able to be there for them.
