Emily & Colin- Married!

There was a rhythm to the air in the room.. as the dj spun his beats and the lights flashed and spun around the dance floor. The drinks were flowing and it was shaping up to be the perfect night out with friends. It was then that Emily spotted him across the dance floor. The tall stranger dancing amongst the crowd with all the moves.. or so he thought! Emily found herself giggling and then outright laughing at the absurdity of his moves. Perhaps it was the electric energy of a night out with friends.. or perhaps it was a little liquid motivation.. but Emily decided this was her chance to improve the dance world as a whole. She made her way through the crowd with intentions of asking this fun loving man who considered himself a dancer to stop, to quit hurting the poor dance floors feelings.  Funny such a simple four letter word - S T O P... I'm sure neither of them could have realized all that those four little words would start. 

Emily & Colin - much love headed your way! Your energy and enthusiasm for life is infectious. It was an honor and an absolute blast sharing your wedding day with you. Congratulations again!

LOVE this mother - daughter moment

 

I mean seriously?!? How many photographers get to start their wedding day with a pillow fight?

Lucky for me Emily & Colin had chosen a beautiful venue to work with in a 'rainy' situation

Any great vendor experiences to share?

We would recommend all of our vendors to couples getting married!  Everything turned out beautifully and everyone at our wedding said it was an amazing time!  The Inn on the Park was very accommodating when we had to make last-minute changes and have our ceremony at a room there instead of our original outdoor space.
