Mr. and Mrs. Johnson | Enchanted Backyard Wedding| Dixon, Missouri

 

 

Amanda and Andrew shared in a two-day wedding we will never forget! The fairytale backyard enchantment was one like out of a dream. The wooden decks at Amanda’s family home created the intimate environment they desired for their wedding. So much work went into creating the most whimsical wedding we have ever had the pleasure of photographing. Every last detail was well thought out and perfectly put together to create the dreamy backyard wedding.

Amanda and Andrew shared in an intimate ceremony. The two decided to write their own vows. The intimate affair had all of their family and friends in tears as they recited their forever promises to one another. The way the speak so highly of each other is so great to see. As they recited their vows to each other, it was as if no one else was around. They were lost in each other’s eyes as sweet words were spoken. The love these two share is undeniable. When Amanda and Andrew are in the presence of one another, the love you feel from the two of them is overwhelming. They are two of the most genuine souls we have ever met, and we feel so honored they trusted us to document such a special moment in their lives.

We love when personalities show through in the portraits we capture. The joy these two share is picture perfect. It’s hard not to smile when you look through their portraits. They are so full of love and so full of life. Amanda and Andrew are the perfect pair. Their wedding portraits are some of our all time favorite images we have ever captured. We just adore how lost in the moment they become with each other.

Amanda and Andrew are blessed with the most wonderful group of family and friends.   Everyone was so welcoming and showed our team amazing hospitality. We love small intimate weddings because you just feel the out pouring love for the couple. Amanda’s father gave the sweetest toast; it was the most heartfelt and touching moment to witness. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd as he spoke so highly of his daughter and Andrew. As the night went on, the maid of honor, best man, and Amanda’s brother also gave toasts and had everyone hysterically laughing as they told stories of their friends. It’s clear to see that Amanda and Andrew share such special relationships with their friends. It’s an amazing gift to be welcomed into these special moments.

First dances were shared on a deck at the Seller’s family home.  Andrew has a very special relationship with his grandmother Vee. The two danced to a tune that had his grandmother beaming from ear to ear! She has so much spunk and character; we couldn’t get enough of her!!

Andrew and Amanda’s family did an amazing job creating a picture perfect wedding! On day two of the celebration, family and friends gathered at Andrew’s mother’s home for a day full of backyard games. His mom being the creative she is, named  her backyard “Amandyland” and guests enjoyed playing croquet, badminton, jumbo jinga, and more.  At the end of the celebration, the couple and their guests released Japanese lanterns.

Amanda and Andrew had one of the most beautiful weddings and we are so honored to have been a part of their two-day enchantment. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Johnson the absolute best as they begin their new journey together. Enjoy some of our favorites from their gorgeous wedding.
