matt & kate

What a pleasure it was to be such a special part of Matt and Kate's big day. It was an extra special weekend for M photography and my family for Kate is my sister-in-law. We were able to be super "behind the scenes" for the whole weekend which gave Meghan (my assistant) and I a great perspective to get great work.
It was a joy to watch the big day come together so perfectly. A few sprinkles of rain, only a few tears, and poof ... a stunning bride appeared! Kate, I think you were breathtakingly gorgeous and Matt, well, you clean up really well too! I'm super pumped to have another "brother-in-out-law" (a group we call all of the people who marry into the Torhorst family) and am thrilled that you are our new member.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day and for being flexible with me and my "crazy" ideas. I hope you feel walking down those alleys and all those kisses and smiles were worth it!
Love you, Em

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Pablo and Elizabeth's wedding day. The whole event took place at the beautiful Calhoun Beach Club which made the flow of the day extremely easy. The day started with their wedding ceremony which was by far the the most heart felt and personal ceremony that I have ever had the pleasure of being witness to. Here is a snip of what was said,

"The number seven is an extremely important number to Elizabeth and Pablo which is shown in the service today by having seven readings, seven attendants, and seven stones in Elizabeth's ring. Elizabeth and Pablo have a special bond with one another, a bond that only those in the deepest of love can experience. For Elizabeth and Pablo, this bond is summarized by the number 7, which stands for Pablo's body & Elizabeth's body, Pablo's mind & Elizabeth's mind, Pablo's heart and Elizabeth's heart united together in one God. Think of the significance of having a number, that, every time you hear it uttered or see it written on a page of a book, you think of that someone whom you have this inseparable bond with."

The evening concluded with many festive chants, songs, and the traditional napkins being whirled around the air in a helicopter fashion! You would think that might be it, but to top off the dancing (that was already fantastic) there was a Mardi Gras celebration at 11pm with hats, costumes, and whistles. Now this was a celebration! A super super party!

I am thrilled to be able to share a glimpse of your love through these images. Your outward expression for each other and those you love is amazing. I was moved by your ceremony and encouraged by your blessings and dream jars. You are a joy to know and I hope these images will remind you daily of the joy you created on your big day. May your joy carry on for all your years.
Acclamazioni al vostro amore. Em

jared & lindsey

Here are the photos from my most recent wedding. We had a very interesting day with the weather starting with a rain storm. The ceremony took place inside at Woodlands Church in Stevens Point, WI . A little rain, and then a little sun at just the right time was just perfect timing. We were given 5o minutes of perfect weather for pictures outside downtown Point. We then went to the Holiday Inn for their lovely reception.
I was blown away with Lindsey and Jared's dedication and commitment to each other. Their maturity in their love and faith was stunning and encouraging. Thank you for letting me witness your big day. Have a great time in Florida. All the best, Em
