Emily and Dylan had been together for nearly 7 years before they decided to tie the knot. They endured a long distance relationship for awhile… Emily was finishing up graduate school at ASU and Dylan was working full time back home in Indiana. There was a lot of Skype-ing, phone calls, and trips back and forth during a good part of their relationship. On one particular trip back home, when Emily came to visit Dylan, he prepared a romantic candle lit dinner at his house and asked for Emily’s hand in marriage. I couldn’t be happier for the two of them and I felt honored to be there for their wedding near Emily’s hometown of Naperville, Illinois.
The guys helping out Dylan getting ready…
Emily in the Dairyman’s cottage not too far from the ceremony site ready to put on her dress…
Beautiful Emily…The coin she’s holding is a special coin from her mother…
Lovely ladies…
I was soooo thrilled when Emily & Dylan wanted to do a first look!
Emily, you’re gorgeous.
A quick switch of the camera settings makes for a different look…
The ceremony weather, lighting, and clouds couldn’t have been more perfect…
I don’t know why but I love the way Emily is looking at Dylan while she is “supposed” to be praying..
Annnnd time for the kiss…
Dylan was pretty excited about the tanks on the grounds…so was I!
When they wanted to jump, I made sure no “pencil” jumps were happening.
Ready to be announced as husband and wife for the first time…
It was one heck of a dance party!
I found this photo of Emily, Dylan, Greg, and I from when I first met them in
France! That was a fun St. Patricks Day… š

Much much love and appreciation to you both for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. Congrats on your new house and best wishes for what the future brings. š
