John & Laura

August 8, 2008 – 12:11 am

Laura is one of the sweetest, “wouldn’t hurt a flea” kinda people I have ever met but, I have a feeling that if I don’t get this post up soon, she’s going to rip me limb from limb! John and Laura were married at St. Malachy Catholic Church in Brownsburg and through their reception at The Country Club of Indianapolis. It was such a pretty day…just a few raindrops during the ceremony and then beautiful again! And getting to start the day on the golf course…NICE! Ok…enough chatter…let’s roll…

Now this is the way to start the day!

Ring, Ring!

Curles!

~~Tiger~~ John sank this one.

My favorite shot of the day! I just dig this one of Laura!

This one cracks me up…these three were awesome!

This is how to do it “on three!”

This one’s for Laura’s dad!

Shots!

The slideshow will be coming soon!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, John and Laura and congrats!! I had such a wonderful time with everyone…thanks for sharing your day with me!

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!

The guys…

The ladies. This one makes me smile…I love it!

I swear, I have about 50 shots of this cutie!

I don’t think I’ve ever had the flower girl interview the ring bearer!

Mr. and Mrs.

I dig this one…is Lisa gorgeous or what?!?

Jake’s brothers…doin’ the best men thing!

Lisa’s beautiful sister.

Lisa’s dad…just a little proud!

More cowbell!!!

Jake…still diggin’ on James Brown!

And the slideshow…

Congrats to you both and thank you so much! I had such a great time with you, your guests, your families…everyone!

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!

The guys got to chill by the lake!

Jake…gettin’ air.

A top-secret spy photograph of the best man’s speech!

From Becky!

The chapel was stunning!

Mr. & Mrs.!

My favorite! I love it!

This cutie was trying to be shy…she couldn’t escape my cat-like quickness!

The ladies!

DJ Helicon was so rockin’!! He seriously kept the party thumpin’! Vinyl, kids! (Imagine big CDs with actual quality music on them!)

Invading the stage!

Jake, scratchin’!

Congrats to you both and thank you so much! I had such a great time with everyone!

And thank you so much Shawna! You rock!

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!

I have a feeling that David’s gonna dig this one!

The ladies!

Dude, nice shades!

Love it!

The whole gang…close! (The guys thanked me, the girls wanted to kill me!)

My favorite!

Hmmm…David’s best man looks familiar!

(I shot Marshall and Jennifer’s wedding in ‘06!)

Not my best work (technically speaking) but, I just love this one! They’re so into the moment!

Sorry Marshall!

And speaking of “into the moment!”

I dig it when the bridesmaids start busting out the gang signs…nice!

I think they’re “starting the mower”…I think…maybe?

I had to put the next few in…David rocking the mic with the Counting Crows!

Congrats to you both!! And thank you so much for sharing your day with me…I had so much fun!

And finally, the slideshow!

Charlie & Amber

June 17, 2008 – 1:21 pm

Charlie and Amber were married at Corinth United Methodist Church in Muncie and held their reception at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. It was sooooooooo crazy-windy! But, at least there was no rain! I was also missing my regular partner in crime but, Audrey at Olry Photography stepped in and helped me out. And even though it was hot, sunny and unbelievably windy, I did get one of my favorite shots ever!! Ok…enough jabbering, on with some of my favs!

Charlie, looking all “badass golfer.”

Amber, looking all “hot bride.”

I couldn’t decide on the ring shot so, I’ll just post both! They’re on different places on their car! And Charlie, no Corvettes were harmed in the making of these shots!
