If images could speak these would be frozen! Michael and Bridget braved the elements and the chilly weather to make sure their engagement images were done in time for their save-the-date cards. They both assured me that they loved the cold weather and not to worry about them during our time together. Despite the chilly temps we all had such a great time walking around downtown Indy shooting their E session. I'm really looking forward to their wedding this year which is also downtown on the circle!
Happy Wednesday to everyone! I'm so excited to share with everyone the first few studio sessions of 2009. Instead of a traditional posting with images I thought what better way to show multiple shoots than to create a slideshow set to Barlow Girl's - "No One Like You" - these girls rock and have a great style.
So, thank you to all of my clients who continue to ask me to capture their growing families and changing lives!!! My family continues to grow with every new person I meet. Have I said lately how much I luv my job!!!
Thanks to the Misch Family, the LaRosa Family, the McConnell Family, the Collins Family, the Smith Family, and the Manship Family! You all are so great to work with!
Happy Thursday everyone! One of my couples recently ordered a large canvas print and I just wanted to brag on them for a sec... The image was one of those that just happened and I was lucky enough to capture it! Apparently they luved it just as much as I did and ordered a 24x36 Canvas!!! It just arrived today and looks gorgeous!~ I'm so excited for them>
Taken in the New Studio> (i'll post more images of the Studio soon - still waiting on prints for the walls!)
And I had to post a snap shot my beautiful wife took of Aaron and I playing in the snow! We absolutely luv the snow!
An absolute beautiful start to 2009! Josiah and Lyndee had a beautiful winter wedding. You might remember them from their E Session this past summer. Lyndee and her Bridesmaids started out early at the salon and were treated to a delicious breakfast table in the Salon. Josiah and his groomsmen were more laid back around the kitchen table in the home of his best man. The dynamics of both parties getting ready is so much fun to experience with my clients.
The sanctuary at Park Chapel was so beautiful! They had decorated the entire stage with 10 foot live pine trees, snow and giant vases with candles and white lilies - GORGEOUS! The weather also turned out perfect - around 40 degrees that day - so after the ceremony we cruised downtown to shoot around the circle!
The Reception was hosted at the Eiteljorg Museum which Sarah Bean is an all star there at the Museum. She is the point of contact for the Museum Events Scheduling. Thanks Sarah for all your help!!! Also, Cons Catering not only prepared the exquisite food for the evening, but also did an amazing job of food design.
David Jackson from Premiere Events coordinated everything at the reception. David and his team did an amazing job of keeping everything running smoothly and were absolutely great to work with!
Tony Ferris from McNamara Florist designed and arranged all the floral pieces for the event as well.
Thanks to all the vendors who made this wedding spectacular!
And thanks to all my friends at Park Chapel, the Sears and Arnold Families for truly making this a beautiful wedding for Josiah and Lyndee!
Enjoy~
Several Brides have asked if I create "formal" images of family and friends - so I wanted to show a few formal images (still relaxed and fun!)
Check out the Groomsmen's Chuck Taylors!
A few gorgeous details at the reception.
This image came after the "smoosh the cake in the face" series! I chose this image of all the Bridemaids cleaning Lyndee's face! Priceless!
One of my favorites - Josiah (the groom) catch'n some air!
A Photographers Dream! 100+ people on the dance floor!
So, over the Holidays I had several large family shoots in the New Studio... The image below is from the session with my Dad's Mother and Brothers (and all the kids!). Aaron (my boy :) got a little plastic camera for Christmas and during the shoot started mimicking me. It was to greatest thing for me to see! He would even look at the back of his camera to preview the image... like me.
The greatest job in the world...
**Several Shoots coming to the Blog from the New Studio and a few E Sessions from Downtown Indy from over the Holidays as well.
What can I say - I luv meeting new people and hanging out with friends. Emotions are what fuel us through life and photography is my medium to express and capture the emotions of my life.
I look forward to what 2009 has in store!
