Something about Marcos and Amanda’s wedding at Hilltop Manor in Hot Springs reminded me of a painting by and Old Dutch Master. Maybe it was all the warm tones of the walls at both the ceremony and the reception. Or it could have been the beautiful directional light that seemed to be everywhere. It was a natural choice to go with available light for some of my favorite photos.
Hilltop Manor in Hot Springs was the setting for Marcos and Amanda's Christmastime wedding.

The reception was at the Porterhouse Club in downtown Hot Springs, where again, the light was wonderful.

Hilltop Manor is an amazing place, and since dark was coming on when I arrived, I didn’t even get to see most of it. What I saw was wonderful, partial as I am to craftsman style homes. The service was far beyond expectations, and who wouldn’t love a Jacuzzi tub next to a fireplace this time of year? I’m already plotting how we can stash the kids with grandparents and visit it ourselves.
I don’t know where to start. This was an absolutely beautiful wedding and there’s nothing better now that it’s over than to have it so perfectly captured by your photos. I can’t thank you enough for forever allowing us to keep our memories in such a beautiful and artistic manner. Thank you Michelle…the Bullock family is forever in your debt.
