Erin's dad grew up in Boston so he's visited for over 50 years and when family vacation time rolled around, he took his family to Cape. Lindsay, Erin's sister, giggled during her speech about the long drive from St. Louis in the back of the station wagon while Neil Diamond played on the radio. She talked about the amazing memories they had growing up playing on the cool beach. And now they add Erin and Darren's wedding day to the list unforgettable moments.
Thank you Erin, Darren and Cosgrove family for inviting us to document and fall in love with Cape. We felt like another guest, like family, celebrate Erin and Darren. Thank you, we are so blessed.

I squealed when Richard Photo Lab finished Jon and Jessica's session. As the files uploaded one by one my excitement grew and caught Hughes' attention. He nosed his way to the computer and started asking...
"Are they real?" "Are they of this World?" I smiled because they are fair questions.
"yes and yes, they do look quite dreamy, don't they?"

(08.25.10 @ 11:24 AM)Clary, I've just seen the day after pictures. My baby girl found the love of her life and the photographer that captured that love on film forever. What a lucky, blessed girl. I love the one of Jon picking her up in the field, showing off the dress and also the last one of them together, they're all wonderful. Thanks for doing such a fantastic job for them.

ZOMG - the dress I was thisclose to purchasing had that exact same neckline. Swoon!
Also in love with these photos, the colors, the light, her shoes. And loving the fact that this one was in Milwaukee.
Gorgeous work - as always!
(08.19.10 @ 11:46 PM)Clary, from the description to every last picture you captured our day on film perfectly!!! Thank you so much for all of the beautiful ways to remember our day!
(08.20.10 @ 07:40 AM)Clary, you are the most amazing thing that could have happened to my sister for her wedding. Amanda had a vision that was allllllllll about the details. Not only did you find the details you accentuated them perfectly. I told Amanda to call me right when the pictures went up and Amanda called me over joyed to the point of tears...at 6 A.M. this morning. You are the best, most talented, amazing photographer EVER!!!!!!!
Thomas
Such gorgeous, crisp, classy images!
I started following your blog after hearing you at the St. Louis Shot Party. Beautiful work!
(08.20.10 @ 06:21 PM)omgoodness!!!
sweet wedding!
the first image is breathtaking!
Jessica and Jon did everything themselves for their wedding day. Everything! And it was all perfect and so them. I adore it all, epesically the Mr. and Mrs.'s.
What do I mean by everything?
The Flowers
The Cupcakes
The Paper Goods
The DJing
all The Details, check out their guest suitcase.
Even the music Jessica walked down the aisle was composed by Jon. Swooning.

Clary, these are beautiful! The photos are beautiful (amazing posing!), the bride and groom stunning. The details are oh so lovely, I wish I were a guest at that wedding!
Clary, your bridal party poses are so creative and the sun (I think?) coming through in the dancing pictures is incredible! Love your work!
(08.12.10 @ 10:06 PM)These are fabulous. If I were to renew my vows, I would want my wedding to be just like this one :)
(08.12.10 @ 10:19 PM)Amazingly beautiful wedding! Would love to feature this one on the blog (if you don't mind). Her dress is stunning, and love the Tom's :)

(08.12.10 @ 10:32 PM)I am so excited to see you where you took the bridal party...I have been itching to go there for quite some time, but haven't had the chance...you used that place perfectly!

(08.13.10 @ 01:09 AM)i am obsessed with your pictures! i will definitely be calling you to come up to Chicago when I get married one day! :)
(08.13.10 @ 08:21 AM)i am obsessed with your pictures! i will definitely be calling you to come up to Chicago when I get married one day! :)
(08.13.10 @ 08:22 AM)ust incredible--it's like they chose details of their wedding just to make it look photogenic in pictures!!! I love the relaxed, genuine feel to all of the pictures--these last two are gorgeous--I mean really, where in the heck do you find such beautiful people, weddings and locations? I swear that grass/greenery can't be real!
And kudos to them for doing so much of the wedding themselves--it seems to have had a very personal touch, and it's gorgeous!
(08.13.10 @ 08:52 AM)Clary, these are awesome! My favorite is the one of the wedding party in the background, doing their thing, with the bride and groom obliviously staring at each other...so cool! Can't wait for you to photograph us soon!
(08.13.10 @ 09:31 AM)Wow. Absolutely stunning. The wedding was gorgeous; what an incredible job they did with all the details. And Clary, as usual, you blow me away.
(08.13.10 @ 10:55 AM)ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite weddings from you...
(08.13.10 @ 02:35 PM)Um. Swoon is right!!!!!! Darling color palette. Darling couple. Magazine quality!!!
(08.13.10 @ 03:54 PM)Clary, It was a pleasure to meet you and watch you work. The pictures are all fabulous. One just better than the last. I love the black and white on the church steps with the rice coming down all around, the dancing and the after shots. They're all so special. I don't know where Jess and Jon found you, I'm so glad they did.
(08.13.10 @ 05:39 PM)OMG I L.O.V.E them, their wedding, the photography, absolutely stunning!!
(08.15.10 @ 01:11 PM)WOW Clary these are sooo great. I LOVE your work always!!
(08.16.10 @ 11:07 PM)I was a guest at Jon & Jess' wedding, and am in awe of the pictures. They are gorgeous, you've captured the love that just shines between them! I especially love the one in the meadow with the sun setting behind them. This was truly a wonderful wedding, I have never felt so positive about two people getting married before. The relaxed, no-posing pictures are them, just having a blast & celebrating their love. I can't wait to see the rest. Wonderful job!
(08.17.10 @ 06:57 PM)what a beautiful wedding! i loved everything about it, specially the dress! stunning :) gray and yellow has to be the best combination ever!!
(08.26.10 @ 06:32 PM)This couple is too cute! You captured their love so sweetly. I also love the bridal party pics, fun! Great job!

32! 13 attendents on each side, 1 miniature bride, 1 miniature groom, 1 flower girl, 1 ring bearer, plus bride and groom.
(07.28.10 @ 07:56 AM)Beautiful Clary! What building is this? This gives me hope though! We will have 9 on each side, a ring bearer, flower girl and 4 ushers...bring on the circus!
(07.28.10 @ 10:49 AM)I was a groomsman in a wedding party with 15 bridesmaids, 15 groomsmen, a ring bearer, and a flower girl, and the bride's dad was the minister. He went shoeless during the ceremony because he didn't realize that he was wearing one black and one brown shoe until the ceremony was about to begin.
(07.28.10 @ 11:01 AM)34! Bride & Groom + 12 attendants on each side, 2 ring bearers, 2 flower girls, and 4 ushers.

These are incredibly beautiful, Clary. And that reception venue is AMAZING. Great work capturing it.
(07.21.10 @ 10:39 PM)I have never loved lens flare and backlighting more than i do I this post.
(07.22.10 @ 12:45 AM)You find the most beautiful people...or should I say the most beautiful people find you :) Gorgeous...the individual of the Bride...stunning!
(07.22.10 @ 07:16 AM)Oh MY!!
I loooove every single shoot!

AMAZING photos Clary! I have been checking the site to see when they would be up ;)
(07.22.10 @ 11:24 AM)Clary,
They are amazing!! I love them! They really capture the whole day! FABULOUS!
(07.22.10 @ 11:26 AM)As a book editor, I should be able to find the right words. I am speechless and in awe of your amazing talent. You somehow made even the construction cranes look beautiful! These are so artistic and so gorgeous!! You are a gifted photographer, and lucky, lucky, lucky are the people who get to work with you:-)
(07.22.10 @ 12:39 PM)woah! you are an incredible photographer. can't get over how gorgeous these shots are. my first time checking your blog and i will definitely be returning to it.
(07.22.10 @ 02:10 PM)You mentioned this wedding shoot to me, so I just had to go out and look at the pictures. What a beautiful wedding, everything looks amazing, including your pictures!!!! Even just by looking at the pictures of the tables with the place settings, you feel the atmosphere of the whole evening. Very nice!!!!
(07.23.10 @ 10:39 AM)Absolutely stunning!!!! Kat and Andy are very lucky to have these memories!!!
(07.23.10 @ 07:28 PM)Epic, and maybe more. Gorgeous venues help, but the moments and fresh compositions are what set your work apart!
(07.24.10 @ 11:43 PM)I am in awe! Are you using off camera lighting now or were those lights set up around the venue?
(07.25.10 @ 10:08 PM)I feel like I know you already because Bobbi is my BFF. But I didn't realize how many weddings you've done here in KC. We need to meet - THIS IS SILLY! I love your work - your family is adorable...and we need to be friends hee hee. :)
(07.27.10 @ 04:31 PM)These are so amazing I'm speechless! This is (hands down) the prettiest wedding ever!

(07.13.10 @ 03:28 PM)Stellar, as always:-) You find the perfect angle in every setting. Love the endlessness of the ocean meeting the sky, and you captured it so eloquently with the lovely couple. Pure bliss.
(07.13.10 @ 04:38 PM)Oh so dreamy soft tones, you have nailed it! Time & Emily should be tickled pink with their shots.
(07.13.10 @ 05:30 PM)i can't choose which shot is my fave- one is more beautiful than the next!

(07.14.10 @ 10:13 PM)Wow. Stunning. That first shot on the beach? It should totally be blown up to a big canvas. Or maybe the one of them running. Might as well just do the right thing & make them both canvases :)
(07.20.10 @ 10:35 PM)I absolutely love these wedding pictures!!! I have seen and admired your work for a very long time, but I think that these pictures are some of your best. The colors of the wedding, the ocean, the love in their eyes. . . .simply awesome!!!
