If you missed PART I of the adorable wedding of Amanda & Caleb, make sure you CLICK HERE to go back and check it out!
Now where did we leave off? It was something pretty important, right? Oh yes – the kiss! And not just any kiss, but Amanda & Caleb’s first kiss together! There were many tears AND cheers from the friends and family (and us) that got to witness the joining of these two very special people. How cute are they?
They were all smiles as they took their first walk as Mr. & Mrs. Thompson!
Nothing like making up for lost time!
Amanda: you’re adorable! I believe this expression was her response to one of her girls asking, “So, is he a good kisser?” LOVE it!
As the guests began to head to the reception, we took a little stroll up to the hilltop for a few post ceremony portraits. How cool is it that CCV has its own little mountain? What a view!
Sun flare = some very cool sunset portraits :-)
We decided to head down the hill and leave the lovebirds for a few quiet moments to themselves, but Ryan just couldn’t help grabbing one last shot of such a perfect scene. (Don’t tell them we were spying, ok?) Ha ha!
The reception took place in the backyard of Amanda & Caleb’s brand new house! They closed on it about six weeks before the wedding and have been working tirelessly ever since to get it ready to host 125 people. How cool is it that their first home together will also hold the memories of such a special day? They did a great job creating a really beautiful setting.
Outdoor wedding rule #1: lots of lights are essential for great ambiance AND awesome photos!
The first dance: this one makes my heart happy :-)
It was so fun to watch these guys interact with their families. Lots of love in this group!
A sweet moment from the father daughter dance :-)
Caleb & Christabel had their very own father daughter dance too! What father daughter dance is complete without a little acrobatics here and there?
Time to party on the dance floor!
Sparkler exit = awesome! So much fun!
A little sparkle for the road and it’s off to Sedona for the honeymoon! They were literally driving away when Caleb grabbed this. Way to make an exit Thompson’s!

You guys! I actually have tears in my eyes after looking at these! What a beautiful couple and a beautiful day, great job capturing it. No contest, the BEST picture of them all is the one of them under the cross – nice job spying ;)
Great work as always R&D! Love the shots under the cross.
