* emilie inc.: Wedding of Elissa + Ishtvan at Phillips Exeter and Abenaqui Country Club in NH

It was years ago that Elissa, who was working as a successful television reporter interviewed Emilie, and kept emilie inc. photography in the back of her mind, knowing someday we would photograph her wedding.  I feel lucky that I was the one to be able to do so.  I was able to hang with Elissa at her parents' home as she prepped for the big day.  I was able to witness her father placing a white balloon at all the neighbor's houses on the street.  His concern for these balloons was adorable, and I wondered if my own father would be doing the same, busying himself with tasks, so he could avoid the inevitable of admitting that one of his little girls was getting married.  Mike's prolonging of this moment was apparent when he whipped himself up the stairs in the foyer, passing by a beautiful Elissa, clad in her stunning dress, stating he couldn't fully comment on how beautiful she looked until she had her veil on.  "It doesn't count, until you have the veil on," Mike rationalized.  Elissa's sister Diana was dutiful, making sure she fully understood how to fluff the dress train, and her bridesmaids Bryn and Meegan making sure they understood the complicated bustle.  Betty, Elissa's mom, provided singing and dancing, making a plea for all of us to "save a horse, ride a cowboy."  She continued this mission later during the reception when the Big & Rich song came on and she promptly do-si-do'd with Ishtvan.....
