Amanda + James | Emerald Isle, NC | Beach Wedding | Allie Miller Weddings | NC Wedding Photographers

The joys of love - knowing that you are in the best possible company and nothing matters! Amanda and James met a few years back, if you can remember the movie: 'Must love Dogs' then you would know exactly what I am talking about. Their pups made the love connection and they have never been apart. They wanted to have a great celebration and gathering with friends from close and afar. Their very happy day was unlike any other Friday wedding - all was truly grand and still intimate - we had most of the customary events for the day - however, Amanda a big dancer - that is all she wanted to do- was enjoy the day with happy vibes close to her friends and family. They rented a lovely property on the beach 'The Gathering Place' and for a week it hosted friends and family, frequent visits from those coming from places as far as Japan and as close as Tennessee and Oklahoma... Amanda worked on all the details with James and with the help of Krystal from A Seaside Weddings and Events all came to an extraordinary completion.

James wore his Marine dress Blues - His best three friends stood by him by the altar and could not have been more perfect - James sister, Amanda's sister and her best friend stood by her side while they tied the knot.

After the I Dos and the cake cutting and speeches, there was more dancing and the night ended to the newlyweds dancing to 'what a beautiful mess' by Rascal Flatts - it was so sweet and such a perfect way to easy into a late nite by the ocean with friends....
