Catching Up

Now that I'm nearing some semblance of being caught up (I can't believe I can actually say that!), I wanted to post some favorites from a couple of my fall weddings that didn't get blogged. These weddings both took place in the Cincinnati area, and I didn't get to meet them in person until the day of. That was definitely a departure from what I am used to! I love getting to know my clients closely in the time that leads up to their wedding, and love to stay in touch afterwards. However, I was very pleased with the results from these 2 weddings, and both couples were very gracious and we were definitely able to form a rapport quickly.

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! They are in no particular order; these are just some randomly picked favorites.

Welcome Baby Alex!!!!

Alexander Xavier arrived in this world Sunday, December 2nd at 2:11 pm, weighing 7 lbs 11 oz, and 22 inches long (I think--Kimmie, correct me if I got it wrong). Mom and baby are doing great!

Here's his first bath:

Congratulations Kim, Bryan, Jack, and Alex!

Heather and Earl

What FUN this wedding was!! The whole shebang took place on the Star of Louisville. Kerry and I were looking forward to this one for a while! Heather, Earl, and their families were a total joy to work with. This was one of the most emotional weddings I've been at in a while; there were tears of joy everywhere--during the ceremony, during the dances, but the most touching were during the vows. They wrote their own, and it was the most touching exchange of vows I think I've ever heard.

Well, as usual, it is past midnight when I'm trying to post, so I'll cut short the words and get to the good stuff :)

First, a quick pre-wedding shot of the happy couple at the rehearsal:

A few to set the scene:

Now, for the fabulous result of all the preparation!

And I can't forget this sweetie--what a doll!

Always my favorite--the details

And they danced the night away...

Heather and Earl, I wish you all the happiness life can bring. Thank you for including me in your celebration of love!
