Archive for January, 2012

December 30th in the year 2011, Jill and Chris were wed in holy matrimony at the beautiful and historical, Nazareth Hall.  The snowy day we were supposed to have turned into 45 degrees of rain.  Thanks Ohio for ruining all of my snowy bride/groom poses I had in mind!!  It’s a great and wonderful thing though that Chris and Jill are so stinkin in love that regardless of our surroundings and backdrop true emotion and feeling shines through my lens.  I absolutely love it.  My most favorite image from this wedding was a quick snapshot I got just before we headed into the reception.  Chris was standing in the doorway holding Jill’s flowers and he was gazing at her.  There was so much he was saying in his gaze.  Those are the best kind.  You can see Jill’s reflection in the glass and she isn’t looking but his eyes never left her.  I love the way a man looks at a woman he loves.  Even better, I love capturing that in an image for ‘her’.

Jill and Chris, you are two of the kindest people I have ever met.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day.  Enjoy your peek!

I have been longing for January to come and not because of the snow and bleak days, but because I feel as if I can breathe and start to have a normal life again. I can wake up in the morning and maybe even do a load of laundry, enjoy an  extra cup of coffee and give attention to my cat.  Ahhh…January.  But, before I take in all of January, I still have quite a few more blogs to post and without any further waiting: Susan and Brett’s wedding post.

First of all, JEM is obsessed with shoes lately and these shoes are HOT! I LOVE THEM! sparkles that just added a little umph. Susan, seriously though, Girrrrllllllllll….you were so incredibly STUNNING. The thing I love about Brett is that he is always smiling, AND that he was emotional seeing Susan for the first time.   Though the day was a ‘little’ chilly, it didn’t matter. We had scoped out the downtown library the day before to utilize it’s spacious and modern surroundings. The top floor is something special too, since it was a favorite of Susan’s grandfather.  Everyone, as always, was welcoming and it makes me feel so comfortable when photographing something so personal as your wedding day. This was absolutely one of the most gorgeous weddings we photographed this year.  Susan and Brett, we wish you years and years of happiness! -Em and Jen
