GSS Featured Wedding Professional :: Amanda Marie Portraits

June 18, 2010 |  by tamradunlap  |  WEDDINGS, real weddings, vendor spotlight

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome one of our fabulous GSS sponsors, Amanda Marie Portraits!!!  Amanda joined us in the beginning of of this month and is a perfect fit for GSS!  She sent over this gorgeous Maui wedding and we’re so excited to share it with you!

Please meet Matt and Jamie.  Matt and Jamie met at work about five years ago.  One day when Jamie was walking through her apartment door from being away on a business trip, there was Matt… and he proposed!  Of course, Jamie said yes and began planning her dream wedding right away.  Her dream was to have her wedding in heaven on earth, Maui, Hawaii!! 

Matt and Jamie along with their closest fifteen friends and family headed for a week long stay in the beautiful island of Maui.  Matt and then men enjoyed relaxing days of golf while Jamie and her girls had lunches, laid on the beach and soaked up the atmosphere!   The night before the wedding, friends and family attended the Old Lahaina Luau where the dined, watched hula dancers and celebrated Jamie and Matt’s love for one another. 

On Saturday, May 15, 2010, Matt and Jamie were married on the breathtaking beach of  Makena Beach Cove and it could not have been more perfect.  They were married right before sunset which gave time for some amazing pictures after the ceremony. To say this wedding was a dream would be an understatement.  It’s one of the best ways to start a marriage if you ask us!

Here’s a little bit about Amanda Marie Portraits:

“I started my photography career about two years ago and haven’t looked back since! It’s clients like Matt and Jamie who trust me with their destination wedding images that make me the most thankful for what I’m able to do.  Documenting people in love is one of the BEST jobs and I can’t picture myself doing anything else.  My goal in being a wedding photographer is to document love.  If a couple looks at their wedding images a few years down the road and gets the feeling they had on their wedding day all over again, then I know I have done my job.  I want my images to have so much joy and feeling and I strive to make that jump through the picture each time I shoot.”

Amanda, thank you so much for sharing this romantic and beautiful Maui wedding with us!  We are so excited to have you on board as a valued sponsor!  Please go to Amanda Marie Portraits’s website by clicking here and please check out her blog by clicking here!  And Matt and Jamie, we wish you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness!!!
