Amanda + Matt | Central Park Engagement Session | NYC Wedding Photographer

One of the best parts about what I do is getting to know so many amazing couples. Interesting, funny, loving, heartwarming, inspiring couples, who for months leading up to their wedding, share so many details with me about their life, their relationship and their plans for one of the biggest days of their life. Each one of them I find to be so fascinating, and Amanda and Matt are especially so. They are both so multi-faceted with varied interests (a list would be so long!), but one that I find to be so incredibly awesome is that they can dance. And I mean DANCE! Like, ballroom dancing, Dancing with the Stars kind of dancing. They gave me a taste of it at their engagement session and wow – was I blown away. Maybe it’s because I love dancing so much. Maybe it’s because I dream that in another life, I would have been a ballerina, a competitive ballroom dancer, or at least a Fly Girl on In Living Color (hey JLo!). But watching Matt lead Amanda while letting her shine, and the way they communicated without saying a word, anticipating each others next steps so beautifully, was like a little peek into the reasons why their relationship seems to be so effortlessly in harmony. They just have an ease together. A peacefulness about them that is so lovely. As they approach their wedding this September, and as Amanda leaves her home of NYC to relocate to Washington D.C. to be with Matt and start a new job (yay on grad school graduation!!), it’s so easy to see that at the risk of sounding completely cheesy, they will be totally in step with one another, helping each other along, and just gliding through life, truly enjoying the dance together.

Amanda and Matt, I can’t wait for your wedding this September at Snug Harbor! I know it will be a beautiful day full of so much love and fun, and hopefully a little dancing too! 🙂
