10 Year Vow Renewal in Rancho Palos Verdes, California with Amanda and Ezra
Let’s be honest—there’s nothing more romantic than standing under a tree, holding hands with the one you’ve built a life with, baby bump and all, while the smell of In-N-Out burgers lingers in the air. Welcome to Amanda and Ezra’s 10-year vow renewal: tender, playful, effortlessly them.
Set against the breathtaking ocean views of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, Amanda and Ezra gathered with their closest friends and family for a celebration that was part wedding, part picnic, part maternity session—and entirely unforgettable. If you’re looking for inspiration to do things your own way, look no further.
A Love Story with Lettuce and Laughs
From the start, Amanda and Ezra made it clear: they didn’t want a traditional ceremony. They wanted real—candid moments, belly laughs, barefoot kids, and yes, Double-Doubles with extra spread. With their two boys in tow and baby number three on the way, this celebration was a living, breathing reflection of their world: beautifully chaotic, intimate, and deeply rooted in love.
There were no rows of chairs or ornate centerpieces. Just the sound of the ocean, the shade of tall trees, and the warmth of family. Amanda, glowing in a stunning white gown that hugged her growing bump, looked like she had stepped out of an editorial spread—but never lost that down-to-earth grace that makes her so magnetic. Ezra, ever the calm presence behind a camera but now in front of it, held her hand and whispered something that made her laugh every five minutes (we didn’t catch it, but we’re pretty sure it was adorable).
Vows, Tears & Unfiltered Joy
The vow exchange was short and sweet—exactly how they wanted it. It wasn’t about performing for a crowd; it was about whispering promises with eyes locked, a decade of memories between them, and a future just beginning. They recited their wedding vows before their renewal vows. It was kinda adorable.
One of the most moving parts of the day was a spontaneous circle of prayer. Friends and family took turns sharing words of love and blessings over Amanda, Ezra, and the little life soon joining the family. There wasn’t a dry eye in the grove as hands rested on Amanda’s belly and Ezra’s shoulders. It was spiritual, grounding, and deeply personal—proof that meaning doesn’t require perfection, just presence.
Simplicity is the New Grand
After the ceremony, everyone dug into boxes of In-N-Out—crispy fries, burgers wrapped in paper, and laughter between bites. No fuss, no plated courses—just good food and good company. The kids ran barefoot in the grass. Adults lounged in the sun. It felt less like an event and more like a memory already in motion.
This day was a perfect reminder that a vow renewal—or a wedding—doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. It doesn’t need to be filtered through Pinterest boards or tied to traditions that don’t speak to your heart. Amanda and Ezra chose their rhythm, their food, their people—and it was perfect.
Through the Lens: Real Moments, Real Love
As photographers, we were simply there to witness and document. Amanda and Ezra wanted mostly candid photos with just a touch of editorial posing, which gave us the freedom to capture the raw, in-between magic: hands held instinctively, glances exchanged mid-bite, their boys looking up in awe, and the way Ezra rested his hand on Amanda’s belly like it was second nature.
And that’s the heart of it: love, lived and captured in the little things.
To the Next 10 (And the Next Burger Run)
Amanda and Ezra’s story is one of intention. It’s proof that love deepens with time, that families grow in both chaos and calm, and that there’s something wildly romantic about choosing each other again—with greasy fingers and grass-stained knees.
Here’s to 10 years of marriage, 3 (almost) kids, and a love story that tastes a lot like a Double-Double: messy, comforting, and always worth coming back to.
Planning your own celebration? Do it your way. Eat what you love. Wear what makes you feel like you. Choose meaning over perfection. Because that’s where the magic lives. 💛
