Carly & Ben {married}

He was so nervous. Ben couldn’t eat that day in anticipation of marrying is best friend. As Carly walked toward him for the first look  even I could feel his excitement building as she walked around him, teasing him before allowing his hands to fall from his face to view her beauty. His look of pure joy said it all.

As their friends and families looked on, they confessed and made promises to each other of a love that would last forever.

Carly’s maiden name is Love. LOVE. How much more perfect could that be??!

LOVE is my whole mantra! I LOVE love. I love seeing love, capturing love, giving love, sharing love… Sorry Ben, I think I would keep my maiden name if it was Love.

The day started off with a champagne toast on the patio of the beautiful Toledo Country Club, and of course, the selfie stick!

Kristen and Rob knew how to have fun on their wedding day! Their no fuss approach to everything made the day all about joking and having a great time. The weather was perfect at Nazareth Hall, and so were the nuptials!

{Nourish}

What do I love most about being a business owner and photographer? Freedom of creativity!

Being able to capture memories and moments in time, so that some day, maybe 50-100 years from now, my images will bring a smile to a younger generation. (but remember, you need to PRINT YOUR PHOTOS )

When approached about capturing real life moments such as feeding a baby, I wanted it to be more than just mom in her every day clothing, because I wanted her to FEEL as special as she was, for nourishing her baby. As moms, we sacrifice so much for our children, and we should feel good about every thing we do.

I wanted moms to see how beautiful they truly are (not that it matters what they are wearing when they feed baby, but moms are really in FRONT of the camera!)

 

I absolutely loved these moments from Bethany’s session …
