Amanda & Jason at Indian River!

YIKES!! So...the weather that the Delaware beach area had on Saturday was not exactly what most brides hope for as they plan their perfect beach wedding, but Amanda & Jason totally rocked it! On Friday we were all preparing to put "Plan B" into motion. I could hear the disappointment in Amanda's voice when I spoke to her late Friday...but I could also hear some hope - apparently Amanda is not a quitter. The final decision was made only 4 hours before the beach ceremony was to take place...the wedding in the sand was on!

So, with umbrellas in hand & lots of prayers said, we all headed out the the beach in spite of the ominous dark clouds. The beach at Indian River is sporting a new look thanks to the last few storms we have had (sometimes Mother Nature giveth & sometimes she taketh away! ) but I have to say...with the contrasty clouds in the sky and the huge crashing waves behind them, I do believe that Amanda & Jason had one of the prettiest wedding ceremonies ever!

After the ceremony was over & most of the formal portraits were done, the 3 of us walked a little bit on the beach while we shot their bridal portraits. Amanda, being an avid collector, noticed right away that the storm surf had drug in lots of beautiful shells...we even found a starfish! I imagine many of the treasures Amanda & Jason picked up on their wedding day will decorate the Clemens household for many years to come.

I spent a wonderful evening with Mandy & Jason's warm family & friends (a special shout out to Uncle Bob, who I just adored) - they were all having so much fun that they made it easy to take TONS of great pictures.

Enjoy your Jamaican honeymoon Mr. & Mrs. Clemens, and your proofs will be ready VERY soon!!

Please feel free to leave a comment here for me!
