Lesner Inn Wedding Vow Renewal Chris + Amanda

I loved getting to photograph this Lesner Inn wedding vow renewal . The first time I talked with Amanda on the phone, I got so excited. I loved Chris & her story. You know, the stories where marriages face a lot of hard times, but then fate sets things right. This is Chris & Amanda’s story.

They chose to do their vow renewal at the beautiful Lesner Inn in Virginia Beach, Virginia because this is where they originally shared their vows on their first wedding day. Fast forward many years later & these two are back at the Lesner Inn on the same date, just a little older, wiser, with two kids and a much deeper understanding of what love is.

Chris, tall & handsome, was the first person that greeted me when I entered the Lesner Inn. He was busy rushing around to make sure everything was perfect. I, then, found my way to the bridal suite to meet Amanda for the very first time. She was breathtaking & so sweet.
We quickly got ready for the their first look. They both with tears in their eyes shared such sweet words. But this was just the beginning.

At the ceremony, their wasn’t a dry eye on the deck. Chris began to share all the mistakes he’d made in the years before & beautifully recommitted his life to Amanda. Then both of them with their boys shared in a special sand ceremony.

After we headed to the beach for intimate photos of Chris & Amanda & I took a few family photos too.

What a beautiful day. I loved being able to be a part of this day. Their story brought so much joy to my heart. This is why I love photographing weddings. For moments like these.
