-Megan & Mike’s Wedding-

jem — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:16:51 +0000

There were so many great details about this wedding that it was hard for me to decide what to focus on in this blog. From the bagpipes during the ceremony, trumpet solo dedication to a special family member during the reception to a stop at the fire station, it was such a perfect day. Not to mention I knew so many people… past brides, past clients, current clients. Makes the day that much more fun and it was great to see everyone again! The one thing I loved on this day though was the very short video the bride and groom filmed. Have you ever seen the segment on Good Morning America on Sunday mornings called Your Week in Three Words? I absolutely love this small part of the show and it makes me cry almost every week. Anyway, Megan and Mike did their own little three words and it was so adorable. I blogged the photos below so you could see it. Please put them on the show Good Morning America!!!!! Their first dance was so great too. They danced to “Smile” by Uncle Kracker and Mike literally sang (out loud, very loud) the whole song to Megan. It was so cute! You will see her big smiles in the dancing pictures below. I would be smiling too if someone was singing to me like that. What a beautiful wedding day for a beautiful couple! Thanks everyone!

Hi JEM fans! We hardly ever get to show off our end products after all of the browsing, ordering, editing and printing is done. We are now offering a square canvas ranging in size from 25×25 to 30×30. The canvas features 49 images to showcase a wedding day in one large piece. Of course your canvas will hang on your wall or sit on a shelf, but for JEM purposes I just had to hang in nature and include a field.

Thanks Niki and Steve for letting us use your portraits on this!

-Niki & Steve, Wedding Day-

There’s so much I could say about this wedding that if I started to write, the words would probably be longer than the picture blog itself. So I’m going to keep this one simple. Weekend after weekend I witness and photograph the amazing and awesome thing called love. The weekend of June 12^th 2010 was no different. To this particular bride and groom, Niki and Steve, I hope the experience of love and your wedding day made you feel completely alive. Where every sense was heightened, every emotion was magnified and you felt like you were flying into the heavens. Yes, the day only lasted a few hours, but it doesn’t fade its value. The memories you are left with will be treasured for the rest of your lives. May the pictures below remind you of that awesome love word, now and forever.

Want to see more from this wedding? I hope so because there’s much more coming! MUCH MORE! To be continued….

-Wedding Day, Allison & Nick-

Finally, the weather cooperated for me on wedding day!!! The hot/humid cloud has been over most of my weddings this year, but this day in particular was perfect. Loved the blue sky and non-humid breeze. It was a great perk on this beautiful wedding day for Allison and Nick. After the sweet ceremony for this couple we headed to Maumee Bay for some beach pictures and a reception that was just a bunch of fun. Now let me explain what I mean by a bunch of fun. You know how there are those crowd participation kind of dances at weddings like the chicken dance, the train, electric slide? Well I think every single interactive song was played and performed perfectly by the guests at this wedding. Not kidding when I say I think I counted 14 different interactive dances! Needless to say there were so many smiles and just a bunch of fun going on. Thanks all for such a great day together and all the fun that came with it!

Jodi & Jordan’s Wedding

It is always an added plus when I get to photograph a wedding for someone I know…and for those of you reading this and don’t happen to know Jodi or Jordan, chances are you know someone in their family. Everything from the start of this day went so smoothly and calmly, I almost couldn’t believe it, but I think even if there was a tornado happening it wouldn’t have bothered EITHER of them. The more and more I got to know Jodi and Jordan, the more and more I realized how perfect these two are for each other…and anyone who knows them will agree. As always, I love toasts during the reception and the story of how these two were introduced confirmed my gut instinct: yup, made for each other. I started off this blog with something borrowed and ended it with something to hold on to…
