Amy and Tim {Edwardsville, Illinois Photographer}

I really don't know where to start with this post. I will try to keep it short and sweet but it will be hard. You see, Amy was one of my best friends from high school and sadly, like most people do, we drifted apart. When she emailed me last year about photographing her wedding I was excited but not sure how I would feel on her wedding day. I wanted to feel more then just being the "photographer" there for her wedding. Trust me, I have a bond with all my couples and never feel like just a photographer but this wedding was different. I wanted it perfect. I wanted to catch every moment but also to be her friend there too. I was sad that all these years had gone by and I was just now meeting her awesome fiance when we met to talk about the wedding. I should have known him the entire time they were together. To be honest though, I feel like Amy and I picked up right where we left off. It was like old times. And the entire time I watched her walk down the aisle (mind you crying and clicking the shutter at the same time), I was telling myself that I will value my friendships so much more and make time for those that I love.

Amy and Tim, the two of you are so amazing and there are no words in this world to describe how much it meant to me to photograph your perfect day. You two are truly made for each other and I know that your future is filled with love and many blessings. I don't think there is a couple more in love then the two of you. Really that is the truth. I will always be praying for your life together and wishing you much love and happiness.

Love always, Amanda
