Amanda and Carlos got married just a couple of weeks ago.  Their wedding photographer, Manny of Manuel Montenegro Photography, who we follow on Instagram, posted one image from the engagement shoot of Amanda and Carlos.  Stop the presses!  WE FELL IN LOVE with the image.   It was so simple but spoke volumes.  Don’t you just love pictures like that?

Can you see why we were intrigued?  So we contacted Manny for permission to use the rest of the images because we know that our Coordinated Brides will be inspired by this engagement shoot.  The number one question that we received after reposting this image was ‘Where did she get her dress?’  Amanad made her dress.    I know that sounds crazy and unfortunately nobody will be able to get a dress like this.  Amanda said hat the skirt was 7 yards of fabric alone!  Wowzers!   The Rockleigh in NJ-which was also their wedding venue- is a stunning place that was once a country club.  The elegantly clad couple were in their element as we explored the beautiful ball room and grounds, I felt almost like I was capturing a couple from another time.  Congratulations on your wedding Amanda and Carlos!
