Jeff and Erin, Congrats, from the bottom of my heart. You are two amazing individuals and one beautiful couple! I am so glad, Erin, that we have gotten to know each other the way we did in this past year, all the texts, emails, smiles and 'proofs'...lol. Erin ordered almost every product I have to offer before her wedding; guestbook, invitations, save the date postcards, programs, a wedding website, and the list goes on...I am actually in the process of creating their thank you cards! I have to say, when I take on all those 'extras' with my brides, we begin to develop a relationship, a friendship, if you will. I didn't know Erin or Jeff before they hired me, but by the day of their wedding, I felt like I was amongst friends. It makes it very exciting for me to finally shoot the much anticipated wedding...and as I have said before in my blogs, I get a little sad once the day is over. (I really hope all my past brides keep in touch. I am on facebook, if any of you want to become my 'friend'!) So, at Erin and Jeff's wedding, LOVE was certainly the theme...the love between a mother and her son, a father and his daughter, brothers and sisters, lifelong friends...it was apparent in the speeches, the dances, the tears. Oh boy, were there tears. I tried so hard to keep myself composed, BUT when Erin's brother got up and asked for one last dance with her because he felt that not only was their father giving her away today, he was, too...wow, I lost it. I seriously couldn't see through the viewfinder of my camera, I had mascara running and everything. It wasn't just a tear or two, I was all out crazy crying and trying to go unnoticed and trying to get a grip and trying to find a kleenex. None of which I succeeded at, so I decided to wipe my mascara-filled tears from my face with my bare arm, blinked until I could see again, wiped the tears from my camera back on my shirt (I wore black, thank goodness) and get right in there and shoot away in the moment. Well, I could seriously go on and on, but I will wrap it up here... You two are surrounded by some truly awesome people, cherish them everyday, as you will each other, I am sure. Cheers to you both!
