Amanda & Steven had the most beautiful summer wedding at The Cannery in Vernon, NY! I might be a bit biased, because this is where I got married, but The Cannery is one of my favorite venues to shoot at! This was a very long awaited wedding, as Amanda & Steven had to reschedule their wedding 5 times, due to the pandemic but it was absolutely worth the wait! Every detail of their industrial barn wedding was absolutely breathtaking! Amanda & Steven shared a very special first look right outside the main doors of The Cannery. They had a beautiful ceremony at the outdoor ceremony site at The Cannery and a super lively reception, with a lot of dancing, laughter and good music! Wishing nothing but lots of love and happiness for many years to come to the new Mr. & Mrs. Childress!

Throughout our time working together, I loved learning more about Amanda & Steven and their love story! Here's what I learned:
