One of the reasons I love weddings is what a happy occasion they are. The mood is infectious and Lauren and Thomas had a happy wedding! Their ring bearers rode in on small John Deere tractor, a job they took very seriously! We had some amazing colors for twilight so of course we had to take advantage of them!
Hillary and Matthew had a gorgeous Avon Gardens wedding. Their florals really made the difference. So many details that came together into an amazing wedding day. Avon Gardens continues to amaze me with no two weddings being the same. Hillary and Matthew danced on the terrace under an beautiful sky and ended the evening with a sparkler sendoff!
As amazing and picture perfect Elizabeth and Mark's wedding their ring bearer and flower girl completely stole the show! The littlest flower girl didn't want to take pictures so she crossed her arms and wouldn't take any until I did a disappearing flower illusion for her! The ring bearer fell asleep on his way down the isle and the oldest flower girl danced and went through the glowing stick line at the end of the night cheered on by everyone! Despite the rain and a total of maybe 4 minutes, we were able to get some amazing twilight pictures. The sky was amazing with the rain clouds behind them. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the guitarist who played the entire day. He is classical trained and did a fantastic job! Such an amazing day with a great couple! I wish you both the best of luck together!
Sonia and Richard's wedding was amazing! Watching them interact on their wedding day was so much fun! I loved being able to sneak them away and get some pictures of the outside of the Marrott, although the piano was a great location too! I loved their reaction during the first look. Richard had a little surprise sewn into his jacket lining! Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your big day!
I tell my couples at the engagement shoot that the time will fly by and their wedding will be here before you know it. I think I need to start telling myself that because the time flew by! Larua wore a gorgeous blush wedding dress that went great with Matt's blue tux. It literally snowed all day so when we got to their reception I just had to take a few photos in the snow! They were great sports and waded ankle deep in snow to get a few photos. Not a big deal for this bride since she brought her rubber boots! Later it stopped snowing but we went out for some twilight photos anyway and I'm glad we did! Congratulations you two!
Nicole and Mark started their day at The Cyrus Place downtown Indianapolis which I think has one of the nicest getting ready rooms. After a first look some wedding pictures they were married at Mount Pleasant Christian Church in Greenwood by an pastor who's been around a while and was quite entertaining! I laughed out loud several times during their ceremony along with everyone else! During their reception at Jones Crossing the song YMCA came on and a bunch of hats came out. As you probably know this song is by the village people who wear random hats so it was quite appropriate! Congratulations you two, it was a fun day and I wish you the best of luck in your new life together!
I couldn't have asked for a better day for a wedding. The sky cleared up, the wind died down and Jennifer and Max got married! After a ceremony at a local church they headed downtown to the skyline club where their DJ Mark from Grapevine helped them dance the night away on top of the world! Congratulations you two, you're perfect for each other!
After shooting Samantha and Michael engagement shoot I knew their wedding day was going to but fun and I wasn't disappointed! Michael's friends performed the ceremony which was also fun to watch since they knew him better than most. I also saw a couple who's wedding I shot in 2014 at St. John's, they now have 2 little ones running around which was super fun to watch! Their reception was held at McGowan Hall. We walked up the steps and I got excited about the two light globes out front until I found out they don't actually turn on at the moment! So I had to improvise and put two of the lights directly behind the globes so it looks like they were on! You do what you have to do to get the shot! Congratulations Samantha and Michael! Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys on your wedding day.
I look back on 2017 and I see some amazing weddings. I see sunsets and twilights, golden and blue hour photos. I see a lot of imagery each one telling a unique story. Here's a couple of photos that stood out.
Winter weddings are some of my favorite weddings. As long as their's snow on the ground and in Indiana we don't take that for granted. Sarah and Krist's wedding day just happened to fall on the day we had a first snow which laid a fresh bit of snow on the ground earlier in the day and then started back up again right as they said their vows. After the ceremony we went out into the fresh falling snow and took some amazing snow pictures! So excited for these two, may you have a long and happy life together!
