K.I.S.S.I.N.G

Amanda and I have a sort of bizarre relationship, from the perspective that we are sort of related, but not really. Amanda is my step-mother’s brother’s wife’s daughter from a previous relationship. (Did you follow that?) So what does that really mean? Not a whole lot because I adore her. And when on a family vacation two August’s ago (on a cruise to Alaska) I knew there was going to be a wedding in this girl’s future.  She was gushing about Riley. So when I finally got to met Riley a year later–Riley and Amanda live in Alberta–at Amanda and I’s step-grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, I got to see why she was so happy; I got to gush over Riley a bit too (and his yummy hair!).

They have this quiet kind of love–if that makes any sense. You can see that they are two people who are really comfortable with one another.  It is lovely to be around them.  Obviously when they announced their engagement we all were incredibly excited, but I truly felt honoured when they asked if I could photograph their wedding this August.

I got the “Save the Date” this week, and this is one wedding where the statistical chance of me shedding a wee tear is way up there!

Congrats Amanda and Riley! I know your day will be perfect.
