Jake and Molly's wedding had so many perfect traditions centered around Molly's Grandma. The awesome b&w picture of the girl curtsying on the table with the clutch, that's Molly's Grandma and her Grandma's clutch. The dresser with mirror and chair Molly sat on while putting on the final touches was the same her Grandma used on her wedding day. I saw the pictures:) And the beautiful house Molly and her girls had some pictures at, just blocks away from where Molly grew up, was the same house her Grandma grew up in and years later got married in. How amazing is that?! Another great part of the day was working with Christine as my second shooter. Check out the last few b&w images in the blogshow. Those are hers:):)



Congratulations Jake and Molly!

Can't help but miss Rich and Beck while posting these pictures. Besides absolutely loving them as a couple, their family and friends made photographing the wedding day a dream. Over a year ago Rich's dad sent me an email about R&B's engagement session and how the pictures captured them so well. He talked about how beautiful Becky was and how he's not quite sure 'how Rich captured her'. For Rich and Becky's Day After session we met out in the country and photographed within a 10 mile radius of claryphoto's home and office. I'm in love with the results of warmth and light which, for me, completely captures Rich and Becky:):)

ps-the field pictures are my favorite because the make my head all fuzzy with love.

Thank you so much. Some of these are so us, it's amazing how well our personalities come through. We had so much fun doing these and spending the afternoon with you. Rich just groaned at my rainboot picture but I love it just as much as my other shoe pictures (the blue ones and the black ones, the purple ones and the red ones, well all of them) cheers!

Wedding magazines sit neatly organized in plain view from my desk right now. Some are over 6 years old from our wedding planning days and others are the current glossy wedding magazines I've gasped over. There is no other excuse then to say, I love weddings, and being a small part of a couples wedding day is a dream. I am so very honored to have The Knot magazine feature Annie and Brad's wedding in the Fall/Winter 2009 issue. Thrilled in fact to add this magazine to my collection for cherishing.

Click here to see a more pictures online or you can check out the magazine on newsstands now:)

Untitled-1.jpg

But wait, it gets better! The amazing cake on the left, from Scott and Vanessa's wedding, is featured in the Q&A wedding cake section and the beautiful couple on the right, Matt and Jodie (that picture still makes my heart pitter-patter and ps-they did all their portraits without seeing each other), are in a "don't miss photo op" feature of yours truly. Now the best part, the first commenter to find or guess the page number with Matt and Jodie along with the photo op advice, receives a treat from The Cupcakery* (*small disclaimer, winner must live in the STL area).

Amanda Zika says:

Clary! That is so amazing! You go girl! I am soooo buying that magazine when it come out. I bet you are so excited. That is definitely an accomplishment to be proud of :)

(06.19.09 @ 12:38 AM)
Emilie says:

Clary - I think we would all agree that you are SO much more than a 'small' part of a couple's wedding day!! You capture moments and memories that are cherished for a lifetime...and not only do you capture them, but you do so in such an incredibly artistic, expressive, & emotional way! Congrats to you, and your amazing talent!

(06.19.09 @ 01:19 AM)
Becky says:

Clary, Congrats that is incredible that you are featured in the publication not once but three times. I completely agree that you are way more than a small part of the wedding day. When you spend all day with someone and are there to make sure the memories last you are a very important part of the day.

(06.19.09 @ 04:14 AM)
Dennis Bullock says:

Congrats! So exciting to have your work in a wedding magazine. And now you've got me thiking about the Cupcakery. Mmmmmmmm...however, I have no good guess on page numbers. Happy Friday!

(06.19.09 @ 08:22 AM)
amanda l says:

(06.19.09 @ 08:27 AM)
Stephanie says:

I'm going to guess 27 :) Just a guess. Also, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAY for you! So proud - you deserve it!

(06.19.09 @ 08:27 AM)
Pamela says:

that is so exciting, Clary! look how far you've come in just a handful of years! i know that i speak for countless other when i tell you that we are all so incredibly proud of you.

You don't take a photograph, you make it. ~Ansel Adams

Clary, you truly are a blessing to everyone you crosses your path. Much love!

(06.19.09 @ 11:39 AM)
Amber says:

That is a beautifully shot wedding! I stumbled across your blog, and love your work. Can i ask, did the knot approach you before the wedding, or once it had been shot to feature... just curious!!

(06.19.09 @ 01:56 PM)
Lindsey says:

Gorgeous! You are such a fabulous photographer, and such a fun person.
Page 86?

(06.19.09 @ 02:43 PM)
clary says:

You all are the best!! and truly make my day.

You also know me too well with all the 2 and 7 guesses. Sadly the page number is not 2, 22, 27 or 77 BUT the article is titled "7 must photo-ops". No joke!

(06.19.09 @ 02:52 PM)
Christine says:

That is awesome Clary!! I have to say, I'm not surprised and it is well deserved :)

(06.19.09 @ 03:42 PM)
Brit Tucker says:

Yes, I went out and bought the issue. But I have an excuse...I have a wedding to plan! It is on page 28!

(06.19.09 @ 09:03 PM)

Congrats Clary!! It is well deserved!!

Right after the ceremony Becky and Rich wanted to get a shot of the doors outside the church. Loved how it turned out!!

A surprise for Rich and a tradition in the Sheridan family, cutting the cake with a sword. Also, notice the detail of the cake, matched Becky's perfectly crafted pleats on her dress.

Becky and Rich, I loved every moment with you two and will dearly miss our emails. I wish nothing but love!! And the day you have twins or even one, I will go JUST about anywhere to photograph the little one.

Thanks so the amazingness of Christy and Patti from All Dressed in White!!
