When I first met Carolynn and Eugene, I knew their love was something special! After getting to know them a little bit better over the past few months, I know that now more than ever! I asked Carolynn to fill out a couple of wedding day questionnaires, and she was so excited to do so! One of the wedding questionnaires was to gain a little more insight into what makes Carolynn and Eugene's love the special kind of love that it is! 

Carolynn... She's smart. She's clever. She's beautiful. She's kind. She's caring. She's hardworking. She's crafty. Eugene's list of words to describe his soon to be bride is nearly endless! He says, "Convincing her to settle for me is probably the biggest mistake of her life, and the greatest achievement of mine". Eugene shouldn't be so hard on himself though... clearly Carolynn is head over heels for him!

Eugene... He's intelligent. He's considerate. He's strong. He's stubborn when Carolynn's too lenient. He's logical when she's too emotional. He's decisive when she can't make a decision. Eugene is Carolynn's best friend... other half... he's forever in her heart. Eugene assumes that Carolynn is settling for him... but for Carolynn, she can't imagine her life without him.  

They've been best friends for years, and are truly perfect together! When Carolynn isn't crafting up some remarkable one of a kind creation and Eugene isn't watching his favorite sports teams.... these two are spending time together with their favorite game called Amtgard! They travel the East Coast and into Canada for this hobby that they share! They volunteer and create new things together- they sew, they work crafting leather and they even make dwarf beards together! I'm telling you... these two are meant to be! 

Carolynn and Eugene will be getting married tomorrow just outside of Syracuse... but the funny thing is- that Eugene never officially asked Carolynn out! Carolynn recalls the memory this way... "We were at the drive-in theater on June 28th, 2007 when he asked "So when are we gonna make this official?" Eight years later he took me to the same drive-in theater and got down on one knee asking again, "So when are we gonna make this official?"

Since 2007 (after they met at a high school dance), these two lovebirds have had eyes for each other. Wedding planning can be stressful, but it has brought Carolynn and Eugene even closer together than ever before. Their advice for couples planning their wedding day is... "Don't procrastinate! And do what is best for you. Everyone has different opinions and etiquette rules, and someone will always have something to say. In the end though, it's only you and your fiance that matter. Do what makes you both happy." 

Tomorrow will be perfect... whether it's raining, snowing or the sun is shining! It will be perfect... because Carolynn and Eugene are going to 'make if official'! They're so excited to spend their wedding day with their family and friends... and I am overjoyed to be photographing it! Their wedding day is going to be filled with special moments, I can just feel it! Their day will be filled with great handmade details too (all of the paper flowers are made by Carolynn herself)!

Eugene and Carolynn... your wedding day is going to be perfect. I truly can not wait to photograph the moment that you two 'make it official'!

Jessica and Erik met during a camping trip with friends. It was love at first sight and they couldn't take their eyes off of each other. Imagine it! Campfires... twinkling stars... laughter and s'mores... cool fresh country air. The perfect setting to fall in love!

They've been building memories ever since they fell head over heels for each other on that camping trip... like the first time Jessica tried golfing with Erik (she was a great sport despite her bit of struggling!). Traveling to Boston together. Skiing together. More camping trips! Going to the park... Or even just lounging and watching their favorite TV shows with each other! These two will be looking into each other's eyes tomorrow... thinking fondly of all of their special memories together, and say 'I do'!

There's just one more not-so-little detail that you should know about Jessica and Erik. In fact... anyone that knows these two knows that one of their favorite things to do... is LOVE on their furry (doggy) child! That's right, they'll become a family of three tomorrow! During their engagement shoot last fall, I got to meet their dog! What a bundle of joy and excitement! One of the things that attracts Jessica to Erik is his amazing 'doggy daddy' skills! Jessica gives lots of love to her doggy... but not all of it! Erik can't get enough of all of the care and love that Jessica gives him (he has his fingers crossed that it will continue!). Their pup is certainly their pride and joy... and though he won't be there to witness his mom and dad tie the knot tomorrow, I'm sure he'll be cheering on from home! 

There isn't any doubt in my mind that these three (yes their doggy too!) will have a wonderful and fun married life together! Though they've enjoyed the wedding food tastings (and have saved some sanity by spreading out their wedding planning)... they can't wait for their reception celebration tomorrow evening! 

Tomorrow, just outside of Syracuse, surrounded by the love of their family and friends (and great wedding photographer!)... Jessica and Erik will tie the knot! When their wedding celebration comes to an end... the good times will keep on rolling! They'll be heading to their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic! 

Erik and Jessica... I can't wait to photograph your wedding day tomorrow! I can't wait capture the moment that you two beautiful best friends become a beautiful new husband and wife!
