I had the ever-most-awesome chance to drive to the BEAUTIFUL city of Wausau, WI to photograph Heather and Jason's vows!!! Not only is the drive through the middle of Wisconsin with rolling hills and blue skies scenic, but the city of Wausau is ULTRA CUTE! For real.....the next anniversary or romantic get-away MUST happen in the downtown are of this charming city for you....even the next girls weekend.....
Enough about Wausau.....Jason and Heather are MFOE (in normal terms that means MADE FOR EACH OTHER)! They are currently living in DC and you can tell that this is where they both are the thriving, SMART, lovely and IN LOVE couple! Honestly, they are cute and so passionate when they look into each other's eyes. Topped off with a fabulous wedding party the day couldn't have gotten better because we had the BEST time!
Heather's dress came all the way from DC (where they are currently living...although slight troubles in the airport...) but isn't it GORGEOUS??? I *loved* the extra puffyness of fabric that came out the bottom beyond the satin....
When I caught up with Jason he was finishing up writing his sincerest words about his appreciation for his childhood and parents in a little book that he gave to his them during the ceremony....made me cry when I found out what he was doing! :)
Heather's eyes couldn't have been more blue and CAPTIVATING....hot momma!!!!
One of my MOST FAVORITE parts about getting to shoot a wedding with an assistant are these little moments that I am not able to see....when I am down the isle shooting the processional, Katie is capturing moments like this......
And just for the record, the look on Heather's face in the ones says "OH YEA...we're MARRIED!!!!"

I *LOVED* that the wedding party wanted to walk through the downtown area to the reception spot only a few blocks away! :)
The reception was held at The Jefferson Street Inn which was so charming and cute! The ballroom was decorated beautifully in a beach-ish theme because Jason and Heather are planning to move to Flordia after their wedding festivities end! Talk about a transition.......
I just *adore* this photo of Heather and her Dad dancing as she fights back tears!
And then of course we had to sneak outside for a few photos at sunset....

Jason and Heather you guys are fabulous!!! It was such a treat to be able to travel to Wausau (and all of it's charm) to share in your special day. I wish you all the best as you start your new life on the beaches of Flordia....make sure to catch all the rays that you can!!!

Wow Emily!! You have really captured the day in such a beautiful way for our daughter Heather's wedding. Heather and Jason look amazing, and your photography is superb. I heard so many comments from our guests about the great photographer. I can't wait to see the rest of the collection. Thanks so much!

(08.10.09 @ 9:52AM)We were some of Jason's relatives that could not make it to the wedding. It made me sad to miss it. Thank you for putting this together. What an amazing love Jason and Heather have for each other. It brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful pictures!
