I have been long awaiting celebrating with Amanda and Nathan for their Umstead Hotel and Spa wedding! They had to reschedule their celebration from last year due to covid. They actually went ahead and got married on their original wedding date so this served as a joyful vow renewal celebration. And my goodness it was the most beautiful of celebrations possible!

Amanda and Nathan are incredibly kind and welcoming people. Their families and friends were too and it resulted in such a relaxed yet joy-filled day. These two shine so bright in their love for Jesus and for each other. As soon as I walked into the bridal suite there was just such a sense of calm and joy and I just knew it was going to be a good day. And a good day it was! Down to every last beautiful detail, Amanda and Nathan’s day was pure perfection! These two are clearly adored by their families and friends and it was such a joyous celebration!

I had so many favorites from their day. But my top favorite would probably be the first dance! I am not exaggerating when I say it was one of the most beautiful choreographed first dance I’ve ever seen. It about had me crying it was so beautiful! And speaking of crying, Amanda’s sweet father of the bride speech definitely had me tearing up.

During open dancing Amanda and Nathan had a confetti pop and it was AMAZING! So much energy on that dance floor it was an absolute blast (no pun intended haha).

Amanda and Nathan’s wedding was so beautiful in every way and I am so excited to share all my favorites with you. Congratulations again Mr. and Mrs. Yip!
