{Amanda & Payton} Colorado Springs Engagement Photographer

When Payton's mom called to ask if I would photograph their wedding, I asked who he was engaged to? She proceeded to tell me it was Amanda, his High School sweetheart. I think I remember choking back tears!!! This is when I realized, I HAVE to be their wedding photographer. You see, I took Payton's High School Senior pictures & Amanda tagged along & was even in a few of them. Little did I know 3 years later, they would be engaged & getting married!!! I love how fate works. When you see these two together, there is no mistaking they are meant for each other. The perfect balance of teasing with respect & loving kindness. I watch how Payton is a true gentleman & takes care of her so tenderly that my heart melts. I watch how Amanda is smitten by Payton & trusts him with every ounce of her being! Yes, they are young (& I happened to get married young), but when ya know, ya know! =) They are going to Disneyworld on their Honeymoon (they're there right now in fact) & no doubt having the time of their lives!!! Payton is in the military & was deployed during their entire 6 month engagement. It wasn't until days before they got married that he returned. Which is why you'll be seeing engagement photos back to back with their wedding photos. They literally were 4 days apart. =) But I wanted to be able to work with them & v.v. to see how our chemistry was & see how I operate behind the lens. They were unbelievably easy to guide through a session, so I knew their wedding day would be no different. Thanks for being amazing & congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Martin!!! Enjoy a peek at our beautiful summer evening together...
