Emily and Colin at Waverly Country Club

The raindrops that threatened the morning of Emily and Colin’s wedding only served to make the day more exciting. The morning was warm but overcast, so prudent thinking called for a beautiful white tent. What a lovely setting for this scrumptious wedding.

Emily is graceful, lovely and gracious. Colin is warm, charming and handsome as all get-out. So you can imagine what a pleasure it was for us to photograph the two of them. It’s risky to describe something as “perfect”, but I daresay, everything I look for in a wedding was there. A crazy-in-love couple, a fun group of wedding attendants, an adorable flower girl, loving and connected families, a lush green setting, and even a handsome Labrador to dispatch the ring.

UPDATE: here’s the link to all the photos from the day.

Typically, I take some time and select my 10 or 12 favorite images to post here to give a preview of the day. However, this time I’m driving myself cuckoo because there are simply too many favorites to choose from. There’s my “pretty” favorites, my “classic” favorites, my “oh-i-love-that-one” favorites. I ended my dilemma by posting three sets of “favorite” favorites. Check back here in a few weeks to see all the photos from the day.

In the meanwhile, here’s a little something set to music.
