OH-IO

Oh to be back in Ohio, even if it was for less than 48 hours! This wedding was more than special to me, and I also cried more on this wedding day then I have at any wedding.

I have known Caroline, since her freshmen year of college. We were a part of the sorority, and I am proud to call her my little (for non-sorority people, basically she’s my little sister!) The stories I can tell! A lot of people questioned why I was a photographing such an important person in my life’s wedding? Why didn’t I want to relax and enjoy the day? When I photograph weddings, I spend more time with the couple then they spend with each other! I got to provide an service for my best friend, as well as still participate in the wedding day. It was a dream, and honestly I couldn’t see anyone else photographing the wedding! I witnessed their first look, and bawled my eyes out. I was there while they were getting ready, I put her veil in before she walked down the aisle (and yes I cried when telling her it was time!!) Heck I am crying right now just thinking about. This wedding day will forever be one of my favorites. I am so happy for Caroline & Nick!!!
