That's Amore - Angela and Ben

Angela and Ben are a gorgeous, beautiful couple, inside and out. This was Angela's fairytale wedding, I sensed. She planned it so well, taking care of all the little details - and did it with such earnest charm. There was something about her that was so endearing - I can't quite describe it. All I know is that I really wanted to give her the images that captured the emotion I felt in her.

I think the most fun I had was trying to capture their "almost kiss." I love the almost kiss because I think it conveys the most emotion. As I described this to Ben and Angela, I saw Ben smirking a little -- that smirk turned into laughter each time they got close. These outtakes would make for a great collage because you could see how much fun they were having trying *not* to kiss :-)

In fact, the whole bridal party was a great group to work with! They had a great sense of humor and were very obviously great friends. We even had a nice day to make it even better (for me) was that she allotted enough time between wedding and reception for us to get some great shots at the Olmsted Falls Quarry by Grand Pacific Junction.

Some pics ...

And one word about the flower girl -- She is a beauty-cutie and had a ton of personality. I don't often "treat" pictures unless I feel one might emote the right kind of mood. The picture below was one of those moments. She had such a serene gaze in this one, I treated in the edit process to enhance this mood.
