I strive to capture what I can of those moments on camera and these pictures reflect some of my favorite moments this year.  Some funny, some sad and some just outrageous.<\/p>\n<p>What are your favorite moments at weddings?  When you first see the bride?  The first kiss?  The cake?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment1.jpg\" alt=\"bride crying during honorary father dance with her brother at massimo de milano in cleveland\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>Codi&#8217;s brother Eric gave a heart wrenching speech prior to his dance with her in place of their recently lost father. \u00a0Having lost my father myself not too long ago, this moment literally ripped my heart out. \u00a0I don&#8217;t think there was a dry eye in the venue, vendors and guests alike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment2.jpg\" alt=\"bride and groom exit ceremony at fieldcrest in north canton\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>The sight and the delicious smell of the lavender being tossed at Kate and Ravi as they exited the altar is a hard sight to forget!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment3.jpg\" alt=\"guest giving bride a lap dance at Springvale Ballroom\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>While there were many moments that are hard to forget from Jillian and Kevin&#8217;s wedding, the random guest that came and gave Jillian a lap dance before the garter removal has to be one of the funniest and memorable of the evening and year.  Everyone was speechless!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment4.jpg\" alt=\"ringbearers hold hands walking up aisle in Berea\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>The ringbearer on the left had no qualms about running up the aisle.  However when he turned and noticed his friend was a bit more shy, he walked back down the aisle and took his hand.  He then guided him  back up the aisle slowly.  It was a precious moment that I will smile about for a long time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment5.jpg\" alt=\"coordinator at the radisson in willoughby fixing a bridesmaids dress\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>2009 was a year for dress disasters and this is one of the ones that stick out in my mind the most thanks to a savvy coordinator and a calm bridesmaid.  What could have resulted in some serious drama was dealt with quickly, patiently and with care.  MAD props to the bridesmaid for being a trooper while we all tried to figure out a solution and the coordinator for saving the night!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment6.jpg\" alt=\"groom wiping tears from eyes of bride during ceremony at atwood lake resort\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>I think this picture speaks volumes without having to say a word.  It&#8217;s hard to forget Mark wiping tears from Maureen&#8217;s eyes, especially so tenderly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment7.jpg\" alt=\"flower girl performing the stanky leg dance at delucas place in the park\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>When the &#8216;Stanky Leg&#8217; was new not a lot of people quite knew what the dance was, however this flower girl not only knew it but she rocked it!  I think many jaws are still dropped over this moment!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment8.jpg\" alt=\"bride on ground laughing at Lakeside Center in Navarre\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>Sometimes the most cheesiest poses can turn into the most hysterical moments, this picture is a case in point about that.  I try not to do a lot of the contrived poses but this group wanted a picture of them holding back the bride from running away.  However Becky ran a bit harder than they expected and she fell on the ground resulting in lots of laughs!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment9.jpg\" alt=\"groom crying during ceremony at damascus friends church\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>I was warned that Adam would cry&#8230; however I had no idea that he would cry so hard they had to stop the ceremony to let him collect himself!!  Wonderful moment in both laughter and tears!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment10.jpg\" alt=\"bride getting dress sewn on before wedding in Canton Ohio\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>Another dress disaster yet this one was Carla&#8217;s dress.  She handled it with grace and patience, something I&#8217;m not sure that I would be able to do if the roles were reversed.   Her bridesmaids were seriously AMAZING helping sewing her in and keeping her spirits up while the whole debacle ensued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment11.jpg\" alt=\"groom doing the thriller dance at the wyndham in Cleveland\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>I LOVE when grooms dance so when Larry busted out his Thriller moves, I was in photographer HEAVEN!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment12.jpg\" alt=\"bride and groom choreographed dance to Low\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>I was one of the few people that knew about Tricia and Jason&#8217;s choreographed dance to &#8220;Low&#8221; for their first dance.  Knowing and seeing though are two different things and I absolutely ADORED seeing this take place!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment13.jpg\" alt=\"groomsman singing the humpty dance at the key club in cleveland\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>One of the great things about having a band is that it enables the musical guests to show off their talent.  Case in point is Tracy and Dan&#8217;s groomsman who belted out a spectacular rendition of &#8220;The Humpty Dance&#8221; and got the crowd going.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment14.jpg\" alt=\"bride and father crying when they first see each other\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>As soon as Jennifer&#8217;s Dad came out of his room and saw Jennifer at the end of the hallway, tears began streaming down both of their faces.  It was a moment I&#8217;ll keep in my heart for years to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment15.jpg\" alt=\"bride and groom listen to readings during the ceremony at Indian Bear Lodge\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>Instead of the standard love poem readings, Bethany and Lee chose to have their family and friends read letters they had wrote to each other over the course of their relationship.  It was such a beautiful idea and moment.  A perfect way to bring things full circle!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment16.jpg\" alt=\"bride tackles groom during football game at the pro football hall of fame\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" \/>By far one of the most unexpected moments was Carolyn and Matt&#8217;s bridal party playing tackle football after the ceremony at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  The girls didn&#8217;t shy away and weren&#8217;t afraid to run, toss and tackle in their dresses either!  I LOVED IT!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.net\/2009yir-moment17.jpg\" alt=\"bride and groom exit ceremony in a classic hot rod\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/>Finally who wouldn&#8217;t list watching Heather and Brian exit their ceremony in a classic hot rod???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By far my favorite favorite favorite thing about weddings is the unforgettable moments that happen.
