In the Month of March | Promotional Offer for Couples Getting Married

I am happy to welcome the month of March today!  It felt great to turn that calendar over and see so many fabulous things coming this month!!  This polar vortex of a winter has not been kind to us, and to see that in just 19 days we (in the northern hemisphere) will welcome with great enthusiasm the return of spring and the vernal equinox!!  OH, YAY!!! **insert happy dance right here. :o) **  I've been working on some different projects lately and some exciting things to announce in the next few weeks.   But, for today, I have something extra sweet to extend to couples making preparations to wed in 2014 - 2015.  If this happens to be you and your one and only, than please read on!  Likewise, if you know of someone in these soon-to-be-wedded shoes, would you kindly share my offerings with them?  I'd be much obliged and grateful to you.  For everyone else, continue reading anyway!  I'm glad you are here and I've included some lovely springtime images to hopefully invoke warmth, reminding you that we will see the greens of March return to us.  Oh, yes, we will!    

Feeling warmer yet?  Me too!!!

Elizabeth and Matt's Wedding Day Celebration | Eicher Arts Center

It was an unseasonably hot and humid day in early October when Elizabeth and Matt pledged their love for one another in the presence of their dearest, closest family and friends.   Many of whom had traveled great distances to be a witness and to celebrate their union.  The air was charged with romance, adventure and terrific laughter and love.  All the planning, the preparations, the arrangements finally coming together for this one, very much anticipated day of celebration.  And, oh, what a celebration it was!!  I have been a witness at many weddings throughout my life and have photographed many as well, but there are certain couples that will forever be etched upon my heart.  Elizabeth and Matt are one such couple.  Their love shone so brightly this day, I was in love with their love.  The look in Matt's eyes when he watched his bride approach;  the way they flirted with one another at the altar, eyes darting and then entranced with each other;  the love, the laughter, the joy.  My romantic heart fills with hope and excitement for them and I watch eagerly as they embrace life and each other.  I couldn't be happier for these two.  They are the kind of couple who take charge of their own happiness, and go after life's fullest potential with all their might and soul.  They hold reverently their heritage, their family, and remain constant to the values of hard work, dedication, and continuously seek out what is in the best interest of the greater good.  They are an amazing newly wed couple, full of life and potential.  I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their trust; to be their wedding photographer was a great honor and so. so. SO. MUCH. FUN!!  Seriously, I had a constant smile on my face the entire day and we just had the best time creating these images together.   

Here begins the story of their wedding day.  Yet, somehow, I do believe Matt and Elizabeth have been written in the stars for one another for all of eternity.  Their hearts were destined for this day and for one another.  This is the day they were joined in holy matrimony and the day we celebrated heartily together.      

Congratulations and Best Wishes to the happy couple!!!  I raise my glass to you and wish you God's blessings - always!   Cheers to you, my friends!  May your life together be full - in every possible way!  Much love to you both!

Rebecca & Glenn ~ Wedding Day!

James Matthew Barrie is quoted as saying, "Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."  This quote rings true for me when it comes to this special, loving couple you are about to see.  Their bright June afternoon wedding turned into a full on rainy, sopping wet day.  That fact, however, did not dampen their spirits or their desire to make this day as sweetly beautiful and memorable as it possibly could be!  I am so honored that I was not only their photographer, but also a witness of their blessed union.   These details are only made more wonderful for me since I consider the bride, whom I've known since she was in grade school, her parents and her siblings close family-friends.  We spent 4 years as neighbors on the same block with children who became the best of friends.  We share many fond memories of our kids in their early years.  I could go on and on, but I want you to view this awesome blog post I put together just for Rebecca ("Becca") & Glenn!! ;) 

I hope you treasure your wedding day memories, Becca & Glenn.  Thank you very much for sharing your day, your smiles, your tears, your hearts with me.  I will forever cherish your day of beauty, laughter and love, and even those raindrops, too.  May you both enjoy a lifetime of happiness together!!  Congratulations, once again!!   

Here begins the day that Rebecca and Glenn became one in Christ, and one with each other…
