Ariana & Josh's session is what coastal engagement dreams are made of. From the classic formal blue and white attire, to the golden sunset, and puppy snuggles. I don't think it could get anymore perfect. Here is what Ariana said about our session, "Wow, where to begin. I will start off by saying that Amanda is an amazing photographer and person. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and they speak for themselves. She took my engagement photos and I am speechless. Amanda is so f

It was such an honor last week to see our wedding featured on Style Me Pretty! We can't express enough how grateful we are for the most incredible team of vendors who helped make our vision a reality. They seriously made all our dreams come true! Today on the blog, we're diving into who we chose for our wedding vendors and sharing a little more about our experience working with them. As a newly engaged couple we understand the pressure to choose the perfect vendors for your d

"You deserve a love that always feels like summer." I feel like that quote perfectly sums up how I feel about Taylor & Chad's engagement session. You can feel the warmth of the sun & their love in these photos. Not only are they ridiculously beautiful but they're absolutely the sweetest and I think the smiles in these photos show just how crazy they are for one another. I can't freaking wait for their 2020 wedding. #mainephotographer #maineweddingphotographer #maineengagement

When planning our wedding we knew one thing for sure, we wanted it to be more than just one day that flew by. We wanted to make it an entire weekend that we could celebrate with those that we're closest to. That's one of the main reasons we chose our venue, Portside Manor so that we could have the entire weekend (Thursday - Monday) to celebrate and never have to leave the venue. On Thursday we arrived with our wedding party and parents and got settled into the main house and

We're officially one month away from our wedding, and we are getting all the feels. When people ask us how we're feeling, our only answer is we are freaking excited! After a long engagement, we are just beyond ready for the weekend to finally be here so that we can celebrate with our family and friends and officially become husband and wife. We celebrated both our bachelorette and bachelor parties as well as my bridal shower. I thought I would do a little recap of the shower

As I get older, it seems that time just keeps going faster. I can't believe it's been over a year since we got engaged. So much in our life has changed - we bought our apartment building, we got a new pup, we've traveled, and another wedding season has come and gone. When sharing the realness of wedding planning over on my Instagram a few of you requested more wedding planning blog posts. So today I thought I would share a follow up since my last post, 6 Months Engaged | A&C

When taking a poll on Instagram about blog topics, a lot of you suggested to do wedding planning updates. I thought it would be fitting to start with our engagement party details! In case you missed our proposal blog post, you can view it here. Prior to getting engaged, we knew we wanted to have a long engagement to really embrace the special time and not rush into planning a wedding. We got engaged on October 2, 2017 and are planning our wedding for June 22, 2019. We had qui
