The Westin St. Claire Wedding | Amanda + Tyler

Well, hi! Bre-here! I am excited to share this special wedding here on the blog today. Meet Amanda and Tyler! I have known Amanda for a long time. What an honor it is for Luke and I to photograph weddings of couples we have such long histories with! Amanda and I grew up at the same church, and at the same schools from elementary school through high school. Our parents have been friends for years, and after so many years of life in the same circles, it was so fun to be a part of this momentous occasion in their family's story. A little about the couple: Tyler went to college with Amanda's best friend, and when the boys took a road trip to California, Amanda was introduced to the man she would someday marry! Yay for friends with cute college roommates. They remained long distance friends for a few years until Amanda moved to Chicago to become a flight attendant. Tyler happened to move to Chicago at the same time, and the rest is history!

They had a beautiful black and white wedding (something near and dear to Luke and I, since our wedding had the same palette), with all the elegance that Amanda had always dreamed of. Check out more from their Big Day below!
