Shannon + Kyle- “Nobody’s Love”
Shannon reached out to me after she and her fiancé Kyle tried practicing for their first dance a couple months prior to their wedding. She mentioned that they had tried learning some moves from Instagram and YouTube but ended up getting tangled instead (super common btw!). They had chosen Nobody’s Love by Maroon 5 and although it held a special meaning to them, it proved to be rather challenging to figure out how to dance to on their own. Most people would say “forget it” and just settle on a typical first dance song however Shannon shoots wedding films and wanted a song she hadn’t seen done before.
Within two lessons, they learned a simple first dance with some added spins and a lift for the bigger moments of the song. By the third lesson, they solidified the choreography so that it looked natural and they no longer had to think of the steps. I was so impressed! #firstdancecouplegoals
Shannon and Kyle were lucky to have the incredible husband and wife duo of Dewitt for Love photography to capture their wedding- I absolutely loved all the different shots they were able to get of their first dance! I had a blast getting to know S+K and loved creating a first dance they truly enjoyed-congrats again to this lovely couple!!

It's a bit of an unusual tempo for a first dace song and we had no clue what to do. I found Amanda on Instagram and I'm so happy I did. My husband and I have zero dance experience but Amanda made it really easy! She took her time with us & had soooo much patience when we had to ask her over and over which foot goes where! lol I was a little nervous about a choreographed dance feeling over produced or a little cheesy, but it didn't look or feel that way one bit with Amanda. She tailored the dance specifically to us, and our skill/comfort level. She was an excellent communicator and made sure we felt good with every new move she gave us. We had so so so much fun taking lessons with her. It was easily one of if not THE best decision we made in the wedding planning process. It gave the two of us something fun & different to do during a somewhat stressful time of planning. We really looked forward to our lessons and were sad when it was over! We had a wonderful first dance the day of the wedding and have amazing photos (included) because of it! We otherwise probably would have just swayed back and forth awkwardly! lol I cannot recommend Amanda enough, truly. I think this is something every couple should do!”
