So for many planners and wedding coordinators, having an international bride and groom might seem like a nightmare. Working with Amanda and Kevin was anything but that… definitely more of a dream. Being a creative person who enjoys designing decor plans, obsesses about flowers and loves the cute little details, working with Amanda couldn't have been better. She knew exactly the feel that she wanted, but in some areas she let me do what I do best and trusted my opinion, in other areas she knew exactly every detail and made the decision. A bride who knows what they want, is organized, but lets you have some creative input and trusts you? Ummm, I think I made a new best friend! That's actually exactly how she made me feel the very first time I met her after 5 months of non stop emailing back and forth. The second time I had the pleasure of meeting her and Kevin was one week before their wedding almost a year after our relationship began. Stressful? Not really, because I knew that Amanda and Kevin were looking forward to exactly what weddings are all about - they just wanted to express their love for each other and celebrate it with their closest family and friends who have travelled from all over the world to be there and support them on that special day. I'm already a bit of a sucker for weddings and speeches, and generally most clients will see me shed a tear. Amanda saw me full on weep, as well as all her guests. When she began thanking me in her speech I couldn't even manage to hold it back! It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done, and to top it off her father made a toast to me in front of everyone - way to put me on the spot Mr. Taylor! haha the point of this little story is that her family and friends were extremely appreciative, warm, welcoming, kind, and I think about them every time I see the photos. Amanda and Kevin were utterly in love and couldn't keep their eyes (or lips) off of each other. Thank you for everything Amanda and Kevin! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your beautiful wedding.
