My name is Emily.

I love people in love.

I cry at every wedding.

I own a striped umbrella. Everyone should.

I love my pug. His name is Edward.

I dream of having a house with enough closet hooks for my scarves and hats.

Laughing is great.

I believe there is nothing better than a day with the people you love.

And I absolutely love to take photos.


And this is my blog. Expect to see people in love, expect to laugh and read, and expect to see what I love and why I love it! Welcome to my blog. I am glad you are here.

This wedding was the most fun, amazing and down-right most beautiful Irish wedding I have *ever seen*! The details that Colleen and Brian pulled out were not only beautiful but amazingly thought out---they had a bagpiper at the ceremony, amazing green decor at the reception and Irish tea to send guests home with after the festivities!

Colleen and Brian are the life of any party....I found that out real fast at the rehearsal dinner Friday night. :) They are both funny, outgoing and very genuine, so, needless-to-say their wedding reflected every inch of their attractive personalities! With live music all weekend long to entertain their guest, they threw a party that was out of this world (that I am sure will have people talking for MONTHS)!

With the gorgeous backdrop of Colleen's family home, the stage was set for the Irish wedding of a lifetime...

I just *adore* how exciting Colleen's Mom is to see her in her wedding gown....

Brian surprised Colleen with a  hand-written note before the ceremony.

The flower girl got a little antsy during the ceremony and started making designs out of the pedals in the floor. Hey...what else do you do if you are bored right?!?!?!

The party was *a hit* with a KILLER LIVE  band. The dance floor was full the entire night while people laughed the night away with the newlyweds.....
