“The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.” - Henry Miller.

Sometimes you can write a whole book about a love story and sometimes words get the better of you. That is how love is we guess, it is the perfect pair of warm socks on a cold winter day and a comfortable bed at the end of a long day. Regardless of how you want to define it, love can be very hard to express or put into words especially when it is one of the so many magical things that human beings experience in their lifetime. 

From some of the most romantic Valentine's Day quotes to some of the most romantic movies that we have ever seen, we have learned one thing that love defies all tangibility and countability, as it can find you in the strangest of times. Whether your love is decades-old or new-found, whether it is a passionate romantic tale or a true friendship, whether you describe it as emotional or as a true bond over a common interest, love remains one of the most whimsical feelings ever that can not only give you butterflies in your stomach but a whole zoo.

With every ‘I’ turning into ‘us’, we see a blend of uniqueness that stands distinctive to only that love story.

We met Amanda and Jared on their perfect wedding day at Hotel Du Village, a historic French Estate in Bucks County, PA located just north of downtown New Hope. This picturesque marriage was absolutely overflowing with amazing moments that the couple and guests will never forget. The entire morning of preparations of both bridesmaids and groomsmen soon led up the several dramatic moments. Starting the glorious wedding day with some detailed shots that ranged from the 'something blue themed' bridal shoes and the shiny groom shoes and bow tie with a cowboy hat, to the bridal bouquet and groom accessories laid out beautifully on a mahogany table. Right before the wedding ceremony commenced, there were several breathtaking shots that captured the precious moments of this wedding day from the bride posing with the gang of bridesmaids, draped up in a white satin robe as she was surrounded by bridesmaids that flared floral robes to the gorgeous wedding gown pictured against a caricatured mahogany wall.

The emotional and warm mother-daughter portraits revolved around the mother of the bride zipping up her daughter’s bridal dress and the bride herself gracefully posing against reflecting glass walls. The bride’s getting-ready portraits are swoon-worthy and spellbinding in the truest of senses as our Lehigh Valley couple photographer captured each and every detail that was displayed by our stunning bride. From the close-up shots of the bridal accessories that featured a dreamy bridal hair clip with intricate leaf patterns to the shiny diamond stud earrings, everything came together to complete a trendy bridal outlook.

The groom portraits featured Jared as he got ready for his big day dressed up in a crisp black shirt and a matching pair of black pants. The inspirational bridal portraits of Amanda looked straight out of a Hannah Montana series as she got ready for her big wedding day. From the bridal portrait shot against the tall glass windows to the ones where she posed holding the wedding ring and the card that had her wedding vows, our heart sparkled with joy as her smile lit up the entire ambiance with a dash of sunshine on this autumn wedding day. She also went on to pose with her maid of honor and the gang of bridesmaids and the pretty and adorable flower girl. Our groom stepped up the photo game by posing with his dad and creating memorable father-son portraits that set the tone for a warm and welcoming wedding day.

Amanda donned a crisp white wedding dress that was a mermaid bridal gown with an illusion neckline both on the front and back. It scooped down to form a sweetheart neckline style on the front and was zipped up on the back. The lacey wedding dress featured intricate embroidery details from top to bottom making her look like a true stunner. She teamed up the fab wedding look with a fingertip wedding veil and her hair was beautifully side-parted and seamlessly tucked into a low updo on the back and beautifully curled wisps on the front.
