No.44: Mike+Amanda (next month is the big day!)

I’m so excited to photograph Mike and Amanda’s wedding next month!  A few weeks ago we met up for a bit of ice cream and meandering – it was one of those “nice” March Saturdays where ice cream felt fitting. Mike and Amanda have such a sweet energy.  Playful and passionate in turns – their...
