Married! Emily + Bill

By Dan & Anne Almasy | Weddings | July 27, 2008 |

**Click HERE to see the slideshow!

We really, truly, honestly had SO much fun with Emily and Bill and their families! These two are such a brilliant couple; they just WORK together, and they were so excited to be getting married!

For the guys, the day started with a few beers and some pool at Decatur’s Twain’s. Dan dialed their wedding date into the pool table’s little scoring board.

Bill, hustling (just kidding).

Emily, in a chair at Salon Red gets advice from her mom Gail about where to place the veil.

Bill’s mom (ALSO named Gail!) spruces up the flower girls’ hair.

Emily’s brother-in-law helps the boys get ready.

Emily reads her pre-ceremony love letter from her husband-to-be.  The most beautiful part?  Bill had written this letter to Emily two years before, when they first started dating.  I don’t know what it said, but it seemed clear that he had fallen head-over-heels for her way back then, and had saved his thoughts for this perfect moment. 

Bill reads Emily’s pre-ceremony love letter to him.  She also surprised him with a brand new iPod!  Sweet!

Grandfather and grandson…

Emily’s dad sees her in her wedding gown for the first time, and can’t help but get a little choked up.

Emily and her dad walk down the aisle at the Dekalb History Center, the old Decatur courthouse. Why can’t all courthouses be this extraordinary?

Bill sees Emily for the first time…

…Emily says her vows to Bill…

…and they walk back up the aisle. NEWLYWEDS!

Emily and Bill are STUNNING examples of why we think the E-Shoot is so important.  They were both a little nervous the day we did their E-Shoot, but when we stepped out for portraits on their wedding day, they were 100% relaxed, just their beautiful selves shining for the camera.  “We’re pros now!” Emily said.  YAY!  

Gloriosa was responsible for the astonishing flowers, scrumptious catering, and ultra-fab lighting design. Gooseberry Events held everything together like clockwork, and guided Emily and Bill through the process of hosting the biggest party of their lives! 

Bill’s best man Trent prepared a speech that had everyone absolutely rolling with laughter and applause…

…he had framed the newspaper ad Emily placed that ultimately brought Bill to her, first as her employee, then as the love of her life!

Bill’s dad and sister TOTALLY cracked up during the toasts!

First dance.

Emily’s mom takes a photo as Emily dances with her dad.

Bill dances with his mom as his family looks on.

Yes.  This boy is flying.

The expressions on the faces of the two below is so hilarious!  Need we say, “Good times were had by all”? Thanks to Spectrum for getting the party started!

The bouquet-catcher and the garter-catcher high-five each other.

Last dance…

…and grand exit!

 THANK YOU, Emily and Bill, for including us in this incredible celebration! We wish you years and years of love on your journey together!

    These photos are so gorgeous! Your creativity and eye for detail are amazing. These aren’t just pictures; they are works of art. Your presence at Emily and Bill’s wedding was so calm and serene, and you moved among us like family. Thank you for these beautiful reminders of a terrific day.
