Amanda + Tyler | Real Wedding

Weddings, Families

Happy Wedding Wednesday darling friends! Thank you for joining us once again in our little corner of the digital world. We hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy in during these intense times – and staying busy too, of course!

Whether your part of the world has opened up to life again or you’re still quarantining, we think it’s safe to say that we’re all missing the love and connection we had grown so accustomed to in our lives. 

Lucky for us another gorgeous Shayla Cristine couple, Amanda and Tyler, are here today to share some of their sweet, sweet love story. And trust us, they have plenty to go around. Sleek vintage cars, gentle rain, impeccably coordinated colors and decor, delicious treats, sunflowers, and adorable flower girls — Amanda and Tyler’s wedding checks all the right boxes for the magical moments that make weddings, well, weddings!

With the way the world is now, it should come as no surprise that these lovebirds met on our vast digital landscape. They fell in love instantly! Their whirlwind romance culminated into one of the most beautiful wedding days we’ve witnessed – which also comes as no surprise, as the locally-famed Lauren of Just Lovely Weddings was on top of every detail. 

Their unforgettable day began at the well-known ABQ Biopark. Theirs was the first ever wedding held there with the reception in the Japanese Garden – of course these two were already setting records together! When the beautiful summer evening eventually came to a close, the stunning couple escaped in the aforementioned sleek vintage car. 

It wasn’t just a perfect getaway car either, Tyler dedicated a considerable amount of his free time fixing it up with his own two hands before the day of the wedding!

Which is amazingly emblematic — it’s obvious that the connection between these two, while instant and fantastical, is something they’ve worked to cultivate lovingly. We have no doubt Amanda and Tyler will continue building their life together for eternity. And that, friends, is what makes all the planning and perfecting of their wedding day totally worth it!

Thank you, Amanda and Tyler, for trusting our team to photograph your magnificent wedding day! It was the honor of a lifetime.
