Amanda & Matthew’s wedding at The Fields Reserve was a beautiful, fun August day. With everything being held at one location, it made for a perfect day. Amanda and her girls got ready, and then Amanda had a first look with her bridesmaids, her mom, her grandparents, and then one with just her father. I loved capturing these special moments. Then a few more romantic, heartfelt moments as Amanda and Matthew opened gifts from one another just before the ceremony. Following the ceremony, we found a few minutes to drive down the road to a capture a fun picture of the new Mr. & Mrs. Vogel in front of a trailer with their name. A few more portraits and then we hurried back to the reception to party the night away. Of course, we had to slip outside for a beautiful sunset. I always encourage my couples to set aside a few minutes - even just 10 minutes can be enough - at golden light. Not only is the light absolutely perfect but it’s nice to take a short break from the wedding day to just be alone with your new spouse.

Here’s a look back at Amanda & Matthew’s wedding day.
