Jeff was cracking some jokes and said, “I’m finally off the hook!” After 8 years of dating, Amanda’s dream of marrying this man had come true. I met Amanda in high school – if she didn’t, she should have won the “best hair” superlative… anyway, I was so stoked when they e-mailed me about photographing […]
