Emily & Boyd + The Main Event

Fri June 19th, 2009 Wedding Day

I’m going to start this post off by apologizing for how long this post is going to be. There are so many pictures to show, so much that went on…I’m just warning you now…it’s going to be a DOOZIE!

So - let’s start from the beginning. The first time I met Emily and Boyd was at Lindsay and Phil’s wedding in 2007. I fell in love with BOTH OF THEM right on the spot. Imagine how happy I was when they called me right after they got engaged at Christmas. The happy dance I did in my office was a site to been seen. :)

So fast forward to last weekend. I walked into the hotel where she was getting ready and felt like I was family. The day was perfect from start to finish. In addition to being excited to shoot the wedding I was also meeting Kassia there who was being interviewed as my second shooter.

Kassia (looking as cute as ever)

The moment I met her, I felt like I was talking to an old friend. You would have thought she had been my second shooter for YEARS with the chemistry we had together. Needless to say she passed “the test” and I’m happy to announce that Kassia is my new second shooter for next year. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who sent me emails, resumes or called me. I can’t even describe how honored I felt that so many people wanted to shoot with me. Picking someone was VERY HARD but I think that Kassia fit the bill 100%. I’m so excited to have her with me….it’s like shooting with my best friend!! :)WHOO HOO!

So onto the best part, the pictures.  To all the other brides looking at these and going HOLY MOLY there are so many…keep in mind - this was a 12 hour wedding day with a 2 hour break in between. When given the time - we can shoot a TON!!

And it begins…(let me tell you - this woman is ridiculously beautiful even without makeup - kinda hate her)

One of my favs (WARNING - THERE ARE A LOT OF FAVS)

Yeah she rocked out these sexy bad boys all day. OW OW!

Love this shot of her right after she put her dress on…DEEP BREATH….she was SOOO excited.

Meanwhile Boyd was hanging out down the hall…Boyd….the fact that you are so incredibly sexy and cute is not your fault. You get it from your sexy cute PARENTS (who I’ve also adopted as my own)

The first time Boyd saw Emily…I caught him saying W-O-W!

Now you can see the W-O-W!! :) LOVE IT!

Man I love this church!

HUSBAND AND WIFE!! YEAH!!

I had to post these next two because they are both adorable in their own way. :)

(Boyd was not excited at all)

Now on to the portraits…

One of my favorite bridals… Emily is OTT beautiful. I say she looks like Carrie Underwood (but prettier)…anyone else?

After shooting around their church we headed to Loose Park…

How beautiful are these ladies! Too bad Emily’s mom and grandma made ALL of the dresses. Yeah..AMAZING!!

Emily wasn’t the only one crying at the toasts…yeah..I was a mess - WAY TO GO DAD (who I also adopted as my own)

These two are MAGICAL together. :)

Did you say it was time to GET DOWN!! OW OW! Yes you DID!!

Lindsay and Phil - the two responsible for introducing me to Emily and Boyd! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Marriage is a Lifesaver…No pun intended. :)

Emily and Boyd - there are no words to express how grateful I am that our paths crossed two years ago. I love you both VERY VERY much and I’m blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for asking ME to be the one to share in your very special day. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Give Dutch hugs and kisses from me!!
