Amanda and Lucas were married on a beautiful afternoon at the Rock Creek Mansion in Bethesda, Maryland. The decor was centered around these beautiful, bright pink gerber daisies.
The day began with a first look. I love Luc’s expression here as he sees Amanda for the first time.
During the ceremony the bride’s brother read from Henry David Thoreau’s essay, Paradise to be Regained:
Love is the wind, the tide, the waves, the sunshine. Its power is incalculable. It never
ceases, it never slackens; it can move the globe without a resting place; it can warm
without fire, it can feed without food: it can clothe without garments, it can shelter
without roof: it can make a paradise within which will dispense with a paradise without.
In love we impart, each to each, in subtlest immaterial form of thought or atmosphere,
the best of ourselves and mutually enrich each other. Love tends to purify and sublime
itself. It triumphs over the flesh, and the bond of its union is holiness.
The tables were designated by unique places that Amanda and Luc have traveled to together, from Portugal to Chicago.
They shared their first dance to the song Another Like You by Sean Fournier.
Congratulations Amanda & Lucas!
