I apologize for the delay in blogging… busy season, lots of traveling and the blog is the last thing I do in the timeline for a job as I see the blog as MY advertisement and not so much for the clients as me as by the time I blog all of the session has been edited and uploaded for the clients to view.  I may not get as many Facebook likes and comments that way but it’s just the way I roll (not saying those that do sneak peeks are worse, I just have always done it this way).  So again, apologies for those that are sad when seeing the blog post hasn’t changed for a few weeks!

Amanda and Anthony got married on a lovely day in Ohio – right before the heat hit and humidity went off the charts!  It was still warm but nothing compared to the 100+ degrees we would soon have.  I had so much fun at their engagement session that I had been looking forward to this wedding for quite a long time and it definitely lived up to my expectations.  Amanda may be one of the most expressive brides I’ve ever had which made for lots of funny and lovely images.  Anthony is completely besotted with his wife which made their portraits lovely and romantic.  It was just a fantastic day!  Thank you both for having me along to capture your memories!

I love, love, loved Amanda’s dress.  One shoulder dresses seem to be really popular this year and I am loving it!

Amanda and her friends had seen images like this on Pinterest and wanted Amanda to have this moment.  There were no easy doors or walls but we made it work with a wall around a staircase and I’m so glad we did, these moments were precious!

I haven’t been back to St. Joan of Arc since I was in a wedding here in 1999 so it was fun to finally return and see things from this point of view here!

I think Amanda was excited 😉

True to their engagement session, we did a series of funny pics and they were so fun!

These guys were a ton of fun!  Hot pink also seems to be the “in” color of the year as I’ve had a TON of them!  Love the pink!

My favorite!

One small fact about me: I’m obsessed with chapstick.  If I don’t have one on hand I get twitchy.  I have one placed just about every spot I am at around the house (one in the bedroom, one at my desk, one in my purse, one in the living room etc) and when I saw this favor it was taking EVERYTHING in me not to nick one as I couldn’t find my one I’d placed in my bag for the day (it was later found in my roller).  When I gushed to Amanda about how awesome of an idea this ones she begged me to take one!  SOLD!  I then knew I had to play with the rings with this when I had them!

This is my favorite cake cutting image ever!  Amanda’s Mom made the cake and let me tell you, not only was it amazingly beautiful but it was DELICIOUS!  While they were cutting the cake, the guests serenaded them with “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” which was so fun!

Their first dance was picture perfect!

The Father/Daughter dances are always so sweet and Amanda’s Dad was one of my favorites ever.  He was so much fun but was so sweet at the same time.

No words, just love <3

I’m still laughing at this.  When Tony was getting ready to remove the garter, Amanda’s Dad came running up and threw his coat over her legs so he couldn’t see anything.  Hilarious!

The party got started after the formalities were over and there was a lot of awesome dancing going on!  They had a great time and so much fun!
