The pandemic was rough, but it certainly had it’s silver linings. It’s not often that we get to capture two weddings and an engagement for our couples. Instead, we captured a sweet and intimate wedding for them in Manhattan at Bottino.

The circular ceremony arch, meanwhile, was crafted entirely from baby’s breath. (And t he signature margarita was mixed with tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and prickly pear cactus syrup.)
Guests dined under a canopy of the flower and were treated to jars of homemade blueberry liqueur the fruit was harvested by Amanda from Parker’s dad’s pick-your-own orchard. There were many personal touches - all with a backdrop of all-white baby’s breath. Amanda’s father, an oncologist, helped out with protocols such as COVID testing for out-of-town guests and social distancing.

They took precautions, including holding the entire event outdoors - with dinner and dancing in an open-air tent - and cutting the guest list to 64 in-person attendees plus a significant Zoom contingent. “We would be having our wedding on our original date even if it was just Parker, me and our parents there,” says Amanda.
So when faced with the option of postponing for a year due to the pandemic, Amanda and Parker adamantly said no. She used her Reem Acra veil as inspiration for everything from the cake to the all-white flower installations made primarily with gypsophilia (baby’s breath) - a collaboration with Camellia Faire Floral Studio. Amanda, the owner and principal designer of Sparke Interiors, threw herself into dreaming up the details. The West Chester duo began prepping for a 240-person celebration on August 21, 2020, at the Lake House Inn, a scenic property overlooking Lake Nockamixon in Perkasie. Four and a half years after that, Parker, a senior analyst at FMC Corporation, proposed. They connected the next day on Facebook, spent about four months communicating through texts, and finally spoke on the phone on Valentine’s Day 2014.
