Tears. Smiles. Hugs. Love. And…more tears. Jennifer & Jon’s wedding day was filled with all of these and more. Why do I mention tears twice? Because there were tears of happiness & joy, love, funny moments, special moments, remembrance of passed loved ones, the joining of families and more. They were all good tears…and I must say I was wiping my own several times. I sat down to edit their photos and tears happened again because it brought me back to those moments. One moment that will really stick with me was how Jennifer & Jon included their boys in the ceremony. Caiden, Aiden, Ethan and Collin held on to each and every word. I watched them…they truly listened and took it all in. When Jon read a letter to them, I had to wipe my eyes often so I could focus the camera. Something incredibly special and those boys will remember that for a lifetime. Then Jennifer & Jon presented each boy with a silver cross necklace. Two of them were hollowed out and two were solid crosses. The solid ones fit inside of the hollow ones…in other words, they are all one unit and stick together.
Jon, the way you looked at Jennifer said “I LOVE you with all my heart”…and the same went for Jennifer. I have had the pleasure of getting to know you all through our various photo sessions over the last year and it’s truly an honor to have been a part of your big day. Your wedding day was elegant, classy, stylish and full of energy. I would like to take dance lessons from your boys sometime in the future. haha 🙂 They were fun to watch. A BIG thank you to Kelsey for all your hard and creative work!!!
Congratulations to you all! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and many more happy tears.

Where do I begin? There is so much that I want to say about Emily, her children and Mark. I have known Emily for years and our kids have sort of grown up together. We have shared many chats over a glass of wine, have talked about our kids, helped each other out as moms, carpooled, cheered at track and swim meets…and well…the list goes on. When Emily & Mark met, she had a smile that said “this guy is really really special”. Over time I watched their relationship grow and it was just a matter of time before they exchanged vows. When I heard Mark had proposed I was beyond thrilled!! I was even more thrilled to be able to capture their BIG day and preserve those memories for them. It truly was an honor to be asked to be their photographer. Emily laughed a couple times during our consultation and she was like “ok…so you took off the good friend hat and put on the professional one”. haha. I said “Absolutely! I am there to document one of the biggest, most important days of your lives”. And WHAT a fun day it was! Oh and…it just so happened to be on the 4th of July. So many reasons to celebrate.
Thank you Emily & Mark for allowing me to share this day with you, your families and friends. Everything was wonderful. A big thank you to Kelsey for all your hard work! It is truly appreciated. Take a few minutes to enjoy their slideshow and be sure to leave the newlyweds some comments 🙂
Thank you for stopping by!
