Amanda and Connor first crossed paths at a friend’s gathering, introduced by mutual friends. For Connor, it was love at first sight. He approached her that evening, sparking a bond that would only grow stronger. Months later, Connor asked Amanda on a first date, playfully letting her choose the destination. True to her personality, Amanda picked Chick-fil-A. From that night onward, their love story unfolded. And Connor still has the receipt!

Connor surprised Amanda with a proposal during a trip Amanda planned to New York City, bonding their relationship to the city forever. Under the glittering lights of the Empire State Building, Connor knelt and asked Amanda for her hand in marriage. The significance of New York became a thread woven through their journey, seamlessly connecting to their wedding venue, The Astorian, which captured the city’s essence.

The couple exchanged vows at their black and white-themed wedding at The Astorian, known for its industrial-chic allure. Amanda and Connor shared heartfelt vows before stepping into the next chapter of their lives. The ceremony’s centerpiece, a floral arch adorned with blooming white roses, hydrangeas, and greenery, framed their moment perfectly, creating a breathtaking setting.

Their wedding day’s chic and classic style flowed seamlessly into the reception. The tablescapes featured black tapered candles, warm candlelight, and blush floral arrangements. Guests marveled at the four-tier white wedding cake embellished with delicate pearl details. The evening concluded with a private last dance to “Yellow” by Coldplay—a moment Amanda and Connor cherished as they took in the final moments of their perfect day.
