Emily and Cory. The unwritten rules of wedding photographer blogging says that I'm supposed to start by writing about how much they love each other. Which they do. But first, allow me please to share about how much I love them.
I knew how great they were within five minutes of our first meeting. Emily and Cory came with Emily's mom, Joy, and her sister. Not only was I delighted that they were all there together, but grateful for the warmth with which they greeted me. We chatted for a little while, and I smiled inside as I noticed how often Emily and Cory glanced at each other, and more so how Emily's eyes would brighten every time! I learned that Cory was specifically looking for a photographer with an unobtrusive style, which is important to me. And here was the clincher...Emily cried while viewing my slideshow. Real tears. She cried real tears. It was such a genuine expression of appreciation for my work, and I was humbled. Which made me cry too. It was then that I knew just how much I wanted to have the privilege of documenting their special day!
Emily has a smile that can infuse a whole room with joy, and Cory visibly adores her. The truth is that they share a love for each other that is incredibly special, and it was indeed a great honor to be by their very side during this day that they committed to love each other for a lifetime. Congratulations, Emily and Cory. And thanks for being so wonderful!
As an interesting side note, Emily and Cory were married at the First United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, which is the same church that Governor Crist was recently married in. Their reception was held at the The Renaissance Vinoy's beautiful Sunset Ballroom. The gorgeous floral design was by KaBloom.
Emily and Cory chose to see each other before the ceremony, which gave us opportunity to capture some beautiful portraits.
