It’s been some time since I blogged and felt it time to do so again. Since I recently had an inquiry about a wedding with their venue being Fort Henry, I thought I’d tell you a little about Heather and Josh’s Wedding.
Obviously, they held their wedding at Fort Henry with their saying I do’s outside in the beautiful sunshine. These two had so much love for one another, they couldn’t keep their laughter or tears contained. This is the kind of wedding that makes my heart fill with joy itself. Being able to capture every little smile, every burst of laughter, every little tear drop. This is what a wedding ceremony should be all about. Even a high five to the bridesmaids as they walk on by. Heather and Josh and their family didn’t hold back on anything they were feeling that day. They were themselves in every way, and that’s how I say it should be. There was no just going through the motions for these two.
Having their wedding at For Henry, they decided to incorporate a little fun from back in the day with a little sword fight among the bridal couple which brought a lot of laughter to everyone and definitely set the mood for the rest of the evening. Having had all their photographs taken before the ceremony, it left the cocktail hour for the couple to enjoy with their guests. One of the recent things I’ve seen happening lately during the cocktail hour, is a little entertainment such as a magician. The guests love it! Heather and Josh had the treat of enjoying the magic also. Me, I love it too of course! And to see the guests reactions is so awesome to capture. Fort Henry also know how to do it up right with the help from amazing florists like Sage Florals.
I often find myself bursting into laughter myself or wiping away a tear or two during the speeches. By the end of the night, I feel like I know my couples so well that they feel like good friends and the speeches touch me like I too am a guest and not just a hired photographer. Is this a good thing I ask? I think so. If I am feeling the emotion, then I feel like I capture and portray the emotions felt by everyone throughout the day. The laughter, the joy, the love, the proud moments, and even the ugly cries can look amazing. I’m smiling just thinking about those ugly cries right now. You all know the ones I mean.
Thank you Heather and Josh for allowing me to be a part of your special day to tell your beautiful love story.
