My name is Emily.

I love people in love.

I cry at every wedding.

I own a striped umbrella. Everyone should.

I love my pug. His name is Edward.

I dream of having a house with enough closet hooks for my scarves and hats.

Laughing is great.

I believe there is nothing better than a day with the people you love.

And I absolutely love to take photos.


And this is my blog. Expect to see people in love, expect to laugh and read, and expect to see what I love and why I love it! Welcome to my blog. I am glad you are here.

Ann and Kevin chose to tie the knot last Friday with a temperature of 14 degrees and a windchill of zero! But Ann made her intentions clear as to why they choose this date.....her reason: so that on their anniversary Kevin can take her some place warm every year...I like her thinking :)

The day was perfect and the bride was all smiles and giggles. When looking through these images I am not sure that I have ever been to a wedding with so many different "faces" on the bride and groom. Their pictures capture their eye rolls, snickers, smurks and gut laughs which are an everyday part of Ann and Kevin's love......kinda contagious if you ask me. I think that Katie and I got a good workout shooting these two because they were making us laugh behind camera quite a bit!

Their ceremony was held at the beautiful sanctuary at the United Methodist Church at Hamilne University and the reception was stunningly decorated with wreathes and individualized cakes at each table at the Hudson Golf club in Hudson.

And the fun started with Kevin when he first saw Ann...his face turned from sillyness to 'WOW...you are stunning" (and she was if I might add)

I told Kevin to grab Ann and wrap her up in his arms to warm her up...and this is what we get??!!?? Their lives are honestly better because I just know that each night they sit down and gut-wrenchingly laugh together....I just know it! :)

These little ones were singing a song to Ann and Kevin and Ann thought it was the funniest thing ever!

The Maid of Honor, Ally, was giving advice from some of her students and one of them was "Tell your wife she is pretty even if she looks like a truck...." (their reaction is HILARIOUS...)
