    Amber + Powell | Floral Wonderland at Five Pine Lodge

    Amber + Powell could not be any more googly-eyed in love.
    They planned their wedding at Five Pine Lodge around their two favorite things celebration and family! It was such a joy to see them surrounded by happy tears, high fives, and big hugs.

    Q1: What was your favorite part of the day?
    [Amber] The ceremony and exchanging our vows. It was so perfect, it felt unreal: the air, the warm sun on my back, the gentle breeze, smell of the pines trees, and birds chirping. Staring into Powell’s eyes while he read his vows to me, and feeling encompassed in his love – then reading my vows to him and promising to always love him. It was more beautiful than I imagined it could be.
    [Powell] The vows. It seemed like time stopped. There’s more, but that’s for my wife and I to share. It seems like there are few things these days left private (e.g., off of social media) so I like to reserve these things for just us. 🙂

    Q2: What are you enjoying most about married life?
    [Amber] Feeling like our marriage is this precious thing that I want to nurture and protect on a level I’ve never felt in any relationship. Knowing that this is a lifelong commitment, something we will build and share, only amplifies those feelings and how wonderful it is.
    [Powell] Sharing our lives together, getting to wake up every day next to my love.

    Q3: What advice do you have to share with others?
    [Amber] Hire Amanda Long for your photos! Other than that, don’t stress about the details – maintain your awareness of why you’re getting married and enjoy the day with your partner and loved ones.
    [Powell] Hire a wedding planner – it will make it easier on your future wife.

    "I feel so lucky to have had Amanda there with us to document every major milestone in our relationship: engagement, wedding and now our very first pregnancy!

    She has become such an important part of our lives and made each event even more special with her photography and positive energy."

    - Erika + Matthew

    "Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera... All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come.

    More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does."

    - Alison + Austin

    "I told [Amanda] I wanted some branding and lifestyle photos for my new website and social posts and she more than delivered!

    Seriously. I refer Amanda to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves, their business, their products, their event, whatever."

    - Kasey Yanna | Freedom Feels Communications

    "With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend."

    - Danielle + Matt

    "[Amanda] excels at: attention to detail & understanding the story of each client and shoot, kind and direct communication, and articulating clear instructions to whomever is being photographed.

    [...] she has a special ability to help bring out the best in you and give you photos where you shine!"
