And this one is for Mom. Ben did not need a yearbook picture, but Mom wanted him in his suit and tie. I suggested a natural light portrait instead of studio lights and backdrop. I love natural light!

Emily & Stephen Howe, More from Saturday!

To view more of Emily and Stephen you can go to my wedding website in the "Featured Galleries"

I'll tell a story on Emily. After the wedding we went to a nearby park and as I was photographing her, she called out to my assistant that "her Husband" can help her. It was said with such reverence and sincerity. A split second went by, and Emily, with giggles and smiles said out loud: "That's the first time I called him my Husband!"


What a Fantastic Couple! I had a BLAST photographing these two!
