JP & Ashley were such an easygoing couple to work with.

The rain may have foiled their original plan, but they were ready to roll with it and make adjustments as needed.
The results of such, were amazing.

A room full of smiles the whole way through…
and in the words of JP, “Is it already over?!”

The morning of Peter and Keri’s Wedding day was beautiful. Sunshiny skies with a slight balmy breeze… the kind of weather that makes everyone say, “It’s a beautiful day to get married!”
Just a couple of hours short of the ceremony, those same beautiful skies opened right up in a giant torrential downpour…. of luck? That’s what they say, right?!
These guys just laughed about how ironic it was.

…a little too ironic…

The love, laughter and beauty of this day would not be affected by the weather, and that fact was apparent from the very start.

The skies cleared up, and the sun even came out to celebrate the day with Tim and Stephanie.
A perfect day, filled with smiling faces, happy tears, and words of gratitude, love, reflection and admiration. I felt fortunate to have been able to catch it all.

Stephanie took a moment before the ceremony to have an official “first look” with her Dad. They did a great job holding back tears, but they’re faces remained a dead giveaway of the emotional moment.
Emotional faces were a reoccurring theme of the day, as Tim and Stephanie exchanged smiles and meaningful glances through their ceremony, and laughed with one another throughout their first dance.

The day started out with nervous jitters all around!

Everything was going according to plan, all the details had been thought of and the day couldn’t have been more beautiful. Still, nothing was going to calm this pair until the moment they were able to meet eyes, finally exhale, and say their “I do’s”.
{insert our own ‘waiting to exhale’ joke here}

♥

 That’s exactly what happened too. You could nearly feel all the nerves and anxiety of the day slowly just melt away with smiles as they met each other at the altar.

We made a mad dash after the ceremony, trying to catch the last of the sun, and maybe even a little sunset.
These two wanted it just as badly as I did though, so they dashed along with me, and we laughed throughout the rush, and got exactly what we wanted, in record time!

{Boom!}

I almost forgot to share this, as Zach & Mackenzie (& guests)  had already viewed their sneak peek during their Wedding reception! Everyone needs some Blog time though!
…and why not throw in a few more!

Zach & Mackenzie are adorable, and are surrounded by some pretty awesome people as well.

Wedding day preparations had such a calmness about them. Just a bunch of cool people, hanging out & looking their best! All the planning and details were taken care of, right down to the notes of thanks on both mothers arm cuffs!

Not only did the entire day go off without a single hitch (which is pretty much unheard of…), but it was such a great time to capture. The stories shared, the laughs, the words of kindness and appreciation, the love and excitement….

Gahhhhh!! THIS is why I love Weddings!

Mark and Ashley’s Wedding Day was beautiful.

Spring decided to be be kind and fill the sky with warmth and abundant sunshine to celebrate the day. The Jones River Trade went through it’s usual transformation, this time looking so beautifully shabby chic, with burlap, a little sparkle, and flowers galore.

Mark and Ashley both had their fair share of nerves, but you could practically see it all melt away as they met eyes down the aisle. Vows were exchanged outside in front of a beautifully decorated mantle, while tearful, happy mamas dabbed at their eyes. Love was truly in the air, and it was beautiful to capture.

Need I say it again?

It was truly a beautiful day, from beginning to end.

Congratulations Mark & Ashley!
Wishing you a long life of love and happiness together!

To say this Blog post is way overdue, is the understatement of the year!

Meeting deadlines is one of my pet peeves, but in November/December, with all the normal reasons for being busy, I also had wedding editing, album creations, and family Christmas sessions – my plate was FULL! So I chose to get the actual full Gallery done on time, and forgo the sneak peek – and these two were so awesome and patient about it!!

Everyone deserves their time to shine on the LmZ Blog though, so better late than never!

Anthony and Allison’s Wedding day was beautiful. Really, whole day was absolutely beautiful.

There’s nothing like being on my end, watching all the little things that makes a person’s wedding day play out so perfectly and lovingly… if I wasn’t already a hopeless romantic, photographing weddings would have certainly fixed that for me! ♥

The proud, almost teary eyed looks from father to daughter, looks of admiration and encouragement from sister to sister, that look, from the groom to his bride, where his eyes are doing more smiling than his face could ever manage…..  The willingness of everyone around, to help in whatever way they can to ensure a perfect, stress free day, and an overall feeling of complete and total love, happiness and support….

That’s the best description I can think of for Anthony & Allison’s Wedding Day.

Smiles and laughter filled the day from beginning to end.

Such a wonderful day shared with an amazing group of family and friends is the perfect way to start a new journey as husband and wife!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Caramello!

What can I say about Lindsey & Mike’s Wedding?

Well, Lindsey and Mike…. and I, were meant to be.

Ok, so some might argue that it’s just Lindsey and Mike who were really meant to be…and those people are probably pretty accurate! However, from the beautifully done rustic theme, to the Pinterest planning and idea boards, the flowers, the cake, the personalized little details, my favorite venue…. oh, & and the Irish music – I think I fell in love a little bit too!

The day was beautiful, and so was the Bride and all of her Bridesmaids! Capturing the thoughtful details that went into the preparation of the day was too easy, as Lindsey and her mother had even planned ahead for that; moving furniture and all!

Mike’s grin was ear to ear the moment he saw his Bride, and Lindsey’s nerves seemed to vanish to a radiant smile as soon as she was able to locked eyes with him. Her giggles during the ceremony only added another (however unplanned) personal touch to their Wedding day.

Nearing the end of their first dance as husband and wife, both sets of parents walked up to them on the dance floor, and, in group hug formation, and slowly danced with them for just a minute or two. This small, simple gesture, had me nearly in tears! Just an amazing showing of love and support, in such a simple and perfect way.

Mike & Lindsey are a beautiful couple, who’s love seems to fill the room. They also have an amazing group of family & friends.

I can’t think of a better way to start off a marriage!

♥

Congratulations Mr & Mrs McDonough!

“What a beautiful day to be married!”

I can’t count how many times I heard this exclaimed, with huge smiles, as family & friends eagerly waited to watch Ben & Jen say their “I do’s” and become husband & wife.

Ben & Jen’s ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful. Filled throughout with personal touches, and heartfelt sentiments, and of course, ear to ear smiles throughout the entire day; even through some happy tears… it couldn’t have been a more perfect day.

Ben & Jen, it was such a privilege to be able to capture your Wedding Day for you!
I wish you both a long & happy marriage!! Congratulations!

This wedding felt like a long time coming (for me anyway, & I’m just the photographer! Ha!), then suddenly -BAM!- it was wedding day! Woohoo!

I’d met with Nancy about a year ago to sip some coffee, get to know eachother, and discuss her wedding vision and plans. Really, she had me with just the mention of her venue. Well, that and coffee… but mostly the venue; The Jones River Trading. LOOOOOOVE IT!

Soon after I met Peter and their two little cuties for a ‘Save the Date’ session. We emailed back and forth throughout the year, I may have Pinterest stalked her a bit, and then we met again a couple weeks before the wedding to go over final details. So much thoughtful planning and preparation went into this day & I just couldn’t wait to get my camera on all the action!

The day started early, but time just flew! Nancy & the girls got ready at her parents house. The neighborhood that watched her grow up and grew up with her, all seem to all be anxiously awaiting wedding time!
Luckily, good company is the perfect way to pass the time!

The Jones River was beautiful as always…

….and that cake? Ahh-Mayyyy-Zing!

Peter was excited to see his bride, and Nancy was excited to finally be his Mrs! ♥

The little ones…. I think they were just excited for the big party & everyone in fancy clothes!

Tears were shed, “I do’s” were said, there was a kiss… and we all went outside to celebrate!

The entire wedding party were ready for some fun. Organized fun in front of the camera? Well, that may not have been what everyone had in mind… but they rallied for Peter & Nacy’s sake, got some fun shots, got a little goofy, and had some good laughs throughout.

What more can a girl with a camera ask for?

Well, besides this?!?

The dance floor was HUGE, but DJ Gene DuPuis played what they wanted to hear, and kept it full throughout the entire night! Friends and family didn’t need any kind of coercion to dance the night away!

Pefection!

Congratulations Peter & Nancy!

Thank you for letting me be a part of this important day in your lives! It was a blast, and we should totally do it again! Vow renewals? Like, every year? ;)
