The first time I met Amy and Tony, I could instantly feel their connection to each other. Their wedding day really reinforced that for me as I watched how they interacted with each other. It’s one of the little joys of being a photographer and comes from my empathetic pull to the people around me. I can’t help but notice the subtle interactions and nuances that make a relationship between two people. There is such a strong pull between these two and it’s almost as if you can see the rest of the world disappearing when they are so focused on each other. It’s like one of those unyielding, whirlwind romances you read in books or see in movies.

Amy and Tony tied the knot at Scared Heart Catholic Church and then headed over to Cyprus Manor for their grand reception. When I say grand, I mean awe-inspiring. Bill and his team turned the space into a wonderland of colors, shapes and textures that were so visually stimulating and lovely. Everywhere you looked was a different atheistic, like cascading pink orchids and huge spherical centerpieces. The up-lighting by All Around DJ was a really great accent to the beautiful flower arch that Bill created for the cake display. Meagan and the Magnolia Grove Team worked so hard to bring all these exciting elements to life! She even surprised Amy and Tony by flying in Del’s Frozen Lemonade to be served at the reception! Tony had mentioned that it was the one thing he would want, but it wasn’t possible because it was only located up north and their reactions were priceless.

Amy & Tony have such a bright future ahead of them and we wish them a lifetime of happiness together! Congratulations to Dr. & Mrs. Tony Bleyer!
