Bob and Hilary's Wedding

I had the great pleasure of taking pictures for Bob and Hilary on October 13, 2007. This was one of the most memorable weddings I've ever had. I haven't laughed so much or cried so much in I don't know how long!

I didn't get to spend much time with Bob, but Hilary and I e-mailed back and forth a lot so I felt like old friends by the wedding day. I knew it was going to be an emotional wedding because a very good friend of Bob and Hilary's very tight nit group of family and friends was killed in Irac just a short time before the wedding. Hilary wore his cross and a bracelet with his name and rank ingraved on it. I know its crazy but I really feel that Danny was there that day, laughing and cring with all of his friends. I can't explain it, there was just something in the air that day.

I have so many beautiful shots from their wedding and it was very hard to narrow it down but here are just a few of my favorites.

This is one of the bridesmaids, it makes me laugh every time I see it! I love the reflection in the mirror and the red shoes.

This is Hilary, I don't know what was going on in this one!

This is my absolute favorite picture from the wedding, I even entered it in a contest! It makes me think of an old time movie actress, very glamorous.

Another cool shot of Hilary.
The wedding was at St. George's in Rocky River, it's a huge, beautiful church, the lighting was great!

Another on of my favorites! Someone came late to the ceremony and opened the door just as Hilary was getting ready to walk down.
After the ceremony and the formals in the church we went to Rocky River park and took some fun pic's of the bridal party.

It was very cold and windy but it was fun!

I like to do this shot every now and then but this time it was a lot of work! The wind was blowing so hard and I needed to be pretty far away from the group to get them all in the shot, so of course they couldn't hear me. I would count to three and they were supposed to jump. Well I would count and the people on the left would jump, we would do it again and the people on the right would jump. After a about the 10th try I put the camera on drive and just shot a bunch in a row just tring to get as many people in the air as I could. I think this one worked out pretty well!

Yes I do have some nice shots of Bob! I had more of him on the dance floor later that evening.

This is just something fun. My H doesn't show up very well but the idea is there.

After the park we went to The Cleveland Browns Stadium, I've never been there before, cool steps!

A different kind of bridal party pose. I like it!

This was cute, it was supposed to be a picture of Bob and the guys but Hilary popped in for a little kiss!

Very funny bridesmaid!
(and maybe a little drunk!)

This was a very emotional speach, not a dry eye in the house when Heather was done!

Here come the tears!

I love this one of Bob, who say's big boys don't cry? He has such beautiful eyes!

This one speaks for its self!

Can't you just see the love they have for each other!

I love the looks on their faces! Most guys just let it hit the ground, they were out for blood!

This would be the lucky guy! He also plays a mean bagpipe!

I have so many more I would love to share but I would be here all night!
