We spent last Saturday with Amanda and Kevin at their gorgeous wedding at the Andover Country Club and it was just an amazing day. We’ve known Amanda and Kevin for about a year and a half now. We actually met them through friends of theirs, Jodi and Greg whose wedding we photographed last year!
The big thing that really amazed me about their wedding were all of little details that Amanda and Kevin spent so much time on for the wedding. They thought of everything and it really showed! Everywhere you looked there was another personalized touch. Amanda’s aunt made her garter - a gorgeous Red Sox themed one! They also had their names and wedding date engraved in a baseball bat and it was set right among their placecards at the reception. They used an actual mailbox as their card basket and it was hand painted with their last name on it and also matched their wedding colors, too. So many little things! The one thing that did make me a bit emotional, though, was the amazing surprise Amanda planned for Kevin and his mom. Kevin’s dad passed away last October and Amanda arranged to have a single rose in a bud vase placed on every table with a little note attached that said, “In loving memory of Kevin Hammond”. It was beautifully simple and so touching. Kevin and his mom had no idea that she put this together so I can imagine how they felt when they saw it for the first time, too.
It was so much fun for Rene and I to split up early in the day and be with both Amanda and Kevin at the same time! Amanda and all of the girls went to a lake near the church and were able to get lots of fun images like this one:
Thanks Amanda for going along with all of my crazy ideas!! I asked Amanda to lay down on this bench in her dress and she didn’t even think twice she plopped right down and was ready for anything! Rene got some very cool shots of Kevin as well before the ceremony. Kevin’s grandfather was actually a railman and used a pocket watch to stay on schedule. He passed his pocketwatch down to Kevin’s dad, and Kevin’s dad passed it on to Kevin. Kevin had it on him at the wedding and you can imagine how special it is. I absolutely love this image of it:
And now at this very moment, Amanda and Kevin are relaxing and soaking in some sun and beach on a weeklong cruise to Bermuda. We can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back!!
