A scant week after I was in the warm tropical sun of St. Thomas I was back in Syracuse, NY where it was cold and rainy! Luckily a bit of sunshine came along with me and I got to spend another whole day with Amanda, Art, and their amazing families and friends! They opted to do even more pictures down in Ithaca where they first met and then off to Auburn we went for their gorgeous reception! Everything about this couple is just so amazing. They’re so in love, so caring and thoughtful, and each and everything they did reflected their beauty! Thank you so much to my wonderful friends Amanda and Art! I love you both!
