Amanda and Mario celebrated their big day at Wedgewood Sterling Hills on April 7, 2013. Friends and family gathered as Amanda and Mario prepared to join their lives together.
The weather was perfect, offsetting this unique and gorgeous photo of Amanda’s dress hanging in the tree at the beginning of the aisle.
While Amanda got her hair and makeup done, the photographer took pictures of her ring, like this one—resting on the leaf of a succulent—Amanda’s favorite flower!
The couple decided that they wanted to have a special moment together before they became husband and wife, so they photographed their first time seeing each other with this beautiful “first look” photo outside under the sun.
Amanda also added her own twist to the first look photos by taking them with her parents as well. Here she is standing behind the front doors waiting for her mom and dad to glimpse her as a beautiful bride for the first time.
Once the ceremony had begun, the ring bearer—Mario’s adorable nephew—walked down the aisle carrying this sign to give his uncle a heads up right before the big moment!
When it was finally time for Amanda to walk down the aisle, she couldn’t have been more ready to begin her life with Mario! Everything was perfect from her last single step…to their first married kiss.
After the ceremony, guests dined, danced and, of course, partook of the wedding sweets! Instead of a traditional tiered cake, Amanda and Mario cut into a smaller cake and served cupcakes to their enthralled guests.
Amanda and Mario shared a very special day with their friends and family, and we here at Wedgewood Sterling Hills couldn’t be more grateful to them for letting us share in it, too!
