emily

This is Emily.
As I mentioned in previous posts, Emily travelled up from ATL to help us out with our marathon wedding weekend! Since Pete was officiating the ceremony on Sunday, and had the rehearsal to attend on Saturday, we were in need of another artist ready and willing to help photograph these occasions.

In short, Emily and I went through the same art program together in college. We helped one another pass long hours in the pottery lab and darkroom. We can attest to many adventures in our creative pursuits... let's just say that we are "all or nothing" kind of people! Though Emily has a great eye for photography, she has been most often seen painting and making stellar metal and glass sculptures! You could say that our house is really Emily's gallery: everything from the welded lamp in Pete's office, to the welded sculpture in the garden to the glass flower on our coffee table. I LOVE her work... perhaps even more than she does. I like to remind her to the time when I intercepted the garden sculpture when it was on its way to the dumpster.

She likes stars, tattoos, dancing, teaching, road trips, music and coffee (at times with ice cream in it). I kid you not, she travels with instant coffee from Starbucks, which is only one of the many reasons why I love her.
In essence, Emily is a natural born artist- seeing the world and life in colors most of us are unable to see. Thank you Emily for dedicating your weekend to Echoes. We really appreciate you.

2 become 1

We enjoyed back-to-back weddings this weekend!
Saturday's wedding took place at Rainbow Lake in Brevard. Thank you to Emily and Kaitlin for helping me coordinate and capture Tammy & Dave's wedding celebration!

Just look at all of these sweet faces. 8 lovely flower girls, 1 handsome ring bearer.

Mr. & Mrs.

Wow, what a joy is was to be a part of Molly & Dave's wedding day celebration! Pete performed a beautiful, personal ceremony, while I had the privilege of photographing it with our good friend Emily.

What an incredible, holy occasion.

Thank you to the Corrao family for a fun-filled family session!
As you can see above, we played on a wonderful playground in Hendersonville.

We're looking forward to the Fall photos to come. Stay tuned!
