Emily + Jordan

Love is sweet and Jordon and Emily have it--that sweet, tender, passionate, unconditional love for each other. You can see it in their eyes. They both lite up uncontrollable when they saw each other for the "first look" on their wedding day. 

When I met with Emily prior to the wedding day she was as happy + anxious as can be to marry her man and become Mrs.Colvin forever. She had been waiting for this day to come and when it finally did she was as joyous and beautiful as ever (and so was Jordan). She told me several times that Jordon was

her rock

, her safe place. He made her feel complete, safe and calm--fulfilled, and that is the exact reason she wanted to do the "first look" instead of waiting til she walked down the aisle. 

Emily and Jordon's wedding was very nontraditional and I loved it, it was "them" and let me tell you it was so lovely. Everything. Simple lovely.

One day, far away, you gently won my heart

And one night, by candlelight, we made a vow to never part

And then it seemed just like a dream

When wide eyed, side by side

We faced the future holding hands"// -Steve Green

Wedding // Nathan + Jennifer: Greenville, Ohio Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Nathan + Jennifer are married!

We were surrounded by cornfields, big red barns and lots of family for the wedding. The day started out rainy, but turned into a BEAUTIFUL day with a beautiful sunset at the end. I knew a lot of the guest that attended the wedding and had actually photographed a few of them, so it was a special wedding for me. Not just because of familiarity, but because Nathan & Jennifer had both been waiting a long time for each other. They didn't know they would marry each other, but God knew and they waited on God to show them who that perfect one for them would be. Waiting is hard. Waiting is worth it though, as they 2nd ;)
The ceremony was very special and honest. He told them how marriage will not always be fun and a fairytale, but you still have to stick with it because its so worth it in the long run. Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint.
 
 Nathan + Jennifer are a family now and it has been wonderful being able to capture their love together. Oh, and the reception was magical. There was a full moon, with icily lights, combine with fireworks and one in love couple *sigh* so perfect.
