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.

AJ and Michelle are 2 lovebirds that have known each other for years and used to ride the same bus together in middle school! :) But it wasn't until their college years that they really discovered the undoubted need to have one another in their life FOREVER and started their romantic relationship.....and the rest is history. Just one glance over at them as look into one another eye's and you know that their future holds romance, joy and downright fun in their marriage!

Despite the monsoon we had gotten the week prior and the few sprinkles that lasted the morning of their wedding day....nothing was going to stop them from celebrating their head over heals love for one another!! Their day was perfect. With the vows at their childhood church and the celebration ending at the GORGEOUS Rochester Country Club both the guests and the bridal party celebrated with the newlyweds as they shared their first night at MR and MRS! :)

Looks like a beautiful wedding. Emily sure has captured wonderfully how beautiful the couple is. Big congratulations to you, Michelle and AJ and of course, Michelle's parents (whom I know).
