Several months ago, Amanda helped plan her aunt’s wedding. As she was mingling with guests at the reception, she had no idea why Tim continually tried to get her attention for a few minutes. As it turns out, Tim thought that a wedding–surrounded by family (and plenty of other happy people)–was a great place to propose. He finally caught her attention (and off guard!) near the end of the reception, and he was right. She said yes, and here they are, being photographed by the two of us, on a hot evening in July. After rescheduling once for rain, we drove to Saugatuck worried that we’d get rained on again this time around, but thankfully we were able to enjoy the beach at Saugatuck State Park and ice cream afterward with the two of them…which was the perfect end to the warm, warm evening.

They had each other and the two of us laughing. I have a suspicion that there’s no deficiency of laughter between the two of them.

Love this one. Leandra’s favorite.

Oh, and these two!

Usually our couples don’t see any of the pictures we take off the back of our camera, but every once in a while, there’s one we really love right away, and they get a little peek. This was one of those (and my favorite).

Thanks for the enjoyable evening, you two (and to your GPS for finding the ice cream)! We’re so happy to be photographing you two again in October.
