Jessica is a fellow photographer, who’s wedding I was honored to photograph. I cruised a little over 4 hours north into the corn fields of Indiana to Winona Lake. It’s a beautiful little town, which is especially charming in the fall. The fall themed wedding that Jessica & Daniel had was perfect down to every detail, and as fall is my favorite season, I absolutely loved it!
On to the sneak peek!
Starting with some detail shots…. Jessica got ready at her parents home, which I loved…
It was a chilly day, but Jessica had an adorable jacket made for her to wear, as well as this antique mink, which looked super glam with her handmade birdcage veil:

Jessica & Daniel are such a fun loving couple… I have really enjoyed getting to know them both, and have shared lots of laughs with them. They’re honest to goodness joyful people to be around.
HELLO Jessica! Fierce! 
Reception details! A full fall feast, complete with apple cider, pumpkin pie & candy corn. Yum-o!
If you notice the sign in the next shot, you’ll see a little German up there. Daniel has lived in Germany his entire life before coming to Indiana for college. His family came from Germany for the wedding and brought with them the most delish chocolate I’ve had since my trip to Scotland a few years back. Tonight I cracked open the bottle of blackberry wine they gave me along with the German chocolate as I worked on this blog. Mmmmm…. Thank you Manduka family!
Jess & Daniel – You’re fantastic. Enough said. xoxo to you both, Amanda

Proof that he’s adorable…. I guess this next shot could be considered an “outtake” as he was getting a little annoyed with my photography antics at this point, but HELLO! STILL cute when he’s crying! Look at that perfect little 
…and then I was nice & left him sound asleep in his crib. 
Jason awaiting his bride….
Christy’s sweet mom handing her daughter to her new husband….
Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but I loved how this huge old tree stood directly between them….. “2 becoming 1….”
I also love this tear rolling down Christy’s cheek as Jason reads to her his vows.
After the ceremony, I spent some time with Jason & Christy shooting some fun & relaxed portraits.
Christy, I told you this a million times already, but you are GORGEOUS.
The work they put into the tiny details was SO worth it. These are the place seating cards…. Christy worked so hard finding the little “gems” for each card & making them into magnets so the guests could take them home. Many of them chosen specifically for certain guests as well.
Christy & her mom searched vintage stores for months to find all of the little silver pieces used as centerpieces.
My favorite detail, was the photobooth they created themselves for their guests to have a little fun with and provide an adorable alternative to the traditional guestbook….. Everyone joined in & had so much fun with it.
