Amanda & Cory: Married! Sonora Wedding Photographer

Does the rain really matter?  

Not if you're marrying the love of your life.  Rain or no rain on this June day could dull the glow of bride Amanda's anticipation.  I stood by as on onlooker for much of the day, watching as each little moment of preparation, inside the bride's room, and outside at the apple ranch turned into a beautiful wedding, but more importantly, two people's marriage.

Amanda & Cory's wedding was a delight to witness.  My favorite moments included Amanda & Cory's homespun vows, and also the songs Cory and Amanda's dad sang for her.  Two families truly came together, uniting even in talents.  

ADORED the ruffles on this dress.

Amber, one of the bridesmaids, hand made ALL of the bridesmaids gowns!  And what's even more, each gown was just a little bit different to suite each girl.

I have an unnatural affinity for eyelash shots, and Amanda's did not disappoint:)

I couldn't help but notice Amanda's tattoo just seemed to be perfect for her wedding.

En route to the ceremony!

LOVE. IS. IN. HIS. EYES!!!

Not my idea, I think it was Cory's, and such a fun shot!  Totally going to copy this!

Another yummy cake from Alicia's Sugar Shack.

First Dance

Just love Amanda's expression as she dances with her dad.

A part of the day I always really love is watching the bride and groom's faces as people toast to them.

Cory & Amanda's dad are both musicians, and they had prepared three songs that were special to Amanda to play.  

Ring on the finger!

"All the single ladies..."

The rain finally started to clear, so we took a few last minutes to take advantage of the fabulous classic cars the bridesmaids had arranged to be borrowed just for the wedding.  I wish we had so much more time with them!  But, I think we all had fun none the less.
