Jake & Lisa

July 22, 2008 – 6:57 pm

Wow!! Another fun one…I love my job! A few weeks ago, I traveled to Muncie to spend the day with Jake and Lisa. They were married at First Baptist Church in Muncie and partied the night away at the beautiful Horizon Convention Center. Liz, the Sales and Events Cordinator at the Horizon Center, was actually a bridesmaid at Eamonn and Sarah’s wedding! If you’re looking for a reception location in Muncie, give her a buzz…she sooooooo rocks! The Souled Out Band rocked the reception and pulled Jake up to help them belt out the last song…man, it was so awesome! Lisa and Jake were just so easy-going and fun to work with…check out the shots below!

In between rain drops!

Jake & Becky

July 15, 2008 – 3:42 pm

Jake and Becky were married in Culver, Indiana on an absolutely gorgeous day! Their wedding was such a blast for me because I was actually the second shooter for Shawna Schaub! I had never shot seconds before and I gotta say, it was so much fun! And it doesn’t hurt that Shawna is so super-sweet and easy to work with…I dig her so much!! I hung out with Jake and the boys for the early part of the day and got a bunch of cool shots before hooking up with Shawna for the rest of the day! Enough blabbing…here are a few of my favs from the day!

Now this is what a groom SHOULD be doing the morning of wedding day!

Kiera!

At our last Pictage User Group meeting, we were hangin’ out so I clicked a few frames of my friend and fellow photog, Kiera Dubach. She’s an awesome photographer and has an even awesomer (new word alert…copy/paste as needed) personality! Check out her site…um, after you’ve determined that I’m already booked, of course! Here are my favs…

Love it!

Natalie

What a cutie!!!! Natalie came up from Kentucky a little while back to work it out for my camera! Natalie’s mommy and daddy are two of my best friends so whenever Natalie comes around, I have a free pass to start clicking away! We only had about five minutes before a crazy thunderstorm swooped in and pounded us but, I did get a few cool ones in first!

I think she saw mommy on this on!

David & Stephanie

July 5, 2008 – 1:29 pm

Please allow me to introduce David and Stephanie! These two were married at Zionsville United Methodist Church (on another crazy-windy day!) and had their reception at the Music Mill in Indianapolis. I dig shooting at the Music Mill…it’s very dark and the colors from the stage lights get a little crazy some times but the shots look so rock and roll! Here are some of my favs!
