Clayton, IN | Amanda & Josiah's Outdoor Wedding | Mid-west Indiana Wedding Photographer
Josiah and Amanda decided the format of their marriage would be a betrothal followed by a wedding. My husband and I (Taylor) were the lucky ones who had the honor and privilege of capturing their beautiful wedding.
Josiah and Amanda’s friendship started through the church and church gatherings. Their friendship turned into courting. As spotted on Amanda's Facebook on January 17th, a happy and smiling post of them together with Amanda's caption, "Happy 2 months of courtship!" Yay! The courting was going well. Through Josiah was primarily living and working in Wisconsin he was driving down to see his beautiful soon to bride on the weekends.
Although I was not able to attend the betrothal I know Josiah’s intentions with Amanda were pure and true. He brought her flowers and asked for the blessing from her father before they even started courting. During the betrothal, Josiah and Amanda committed themselves to each other, as did Christ with his covenant and commitment to the church.
The day of the wedding was elegant and loving. The house where the wedding took place was the home of the pastor who married them. Turns out the pastor has 10 children! Some were able to make it, others were not but each one of them were sure great helpers! Helping from Amanda's hair to making the wonderful breakfast food that we enjoyed for the reception dinner :)
After the beautiful exchange of vowels, Josiah proceeded to drip kiss his bride. Shortly after the ceremony, there was a lovely man and his guitar leading us all in a time of worship and praise. (Felt like a glimpse of heaven) The food was sweet and delicious, perfect for all the guests with a sweet tooth.
Lastly, Josiah and Amanda visited with their guests before their grand departure. Smoke bombs (purple of course), a car full of balloons, a last "hurray" and dip kiss as they got in their car and drove off into the sunset, happily ever after.
