Wedding & Portrait Photographer
When I met Sarah & Dayton last year for their engagement photos, they were just a fun loving couple who liked to laugh. I knew INSTANTLY that their wedding day was going to be enjoyable. They did not disappoint. Everything about their day was perfect and even though we missed golden hour photos, they still let me pull them out for more photos during their reception.
I love these images. I am a sucker for a beautiful church ceremony! <3
Ben and Bethany have a special place in my heart for sure. It was a blast on their wedding day, even though it was crazy hot. It was a fun drive down to Wea Creek Orchard, Liz and I sang a bunch of backstreet boy's songs and just caught up! It had been awhile since we had seen each other!
Getting to the Orchard we were overwhelmed with how beautiful the venue was. We got right in there and started detail shots. Then came time for the first look and I just KNEW Ben would NOT disappoint. Of course he didn't.
I just love their images. They left me to move to Seattle... so you know. Im a little salty about that.
When I met Breanna and Nick for the first time, I knew these people would have a special place in my heart. I absolutely loved getting to know them from their first consolation, to their wedding day. These two were made for each other and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. July weddings are normally pretty warm. Well, their day was incredibly warm. The humidity was ridiculous. Sandy Pines is for sure one of my favorite venues in the area. I mean. Look how beautiful it is?? Any time of year this place I just breathtaking.
I was so happy when Bre and Nick decided to have a first look. I knew Nick's reaction was going to be pretty hilarious. He's not a crier, and thats okay, but I didn't know he would giggle the whole time! The pictures speak for themselves on that one. At the end of the evening, the newlyweds had a special gift to their friends and family, a firework show! AND sparklers. I mean, how cool is that?? Some of my favorite wedding images of the year are in here!
Lindsey & Seth were married back in July! As I'm watching the snow fall, I'm dreaming about these summer weddings. I figured why not blog about them! Its long over due, and I'm freezing so what better time to remember summer?
Lindsey was like every bride, super nervous, but so incredibly excited to marry the love of her life. I remember the smile, as she was getting on her dress. She lit up the room. I remember her saying, "I just want to marry my best friend, its almost time I marry my best friend!"
One of the things I love about my job, is that I get to keep the bride calm, and relaxed. Its not an easy task, but someone's got to do it!
I am a big stickler about dragging my couples out of dinner or their reception to get some golden hour images. The light is just always so perfect its hard NOT to want those photos.
This was one of my favorite wedding's of 2017.
Calli & John were married back in June. It was one of the hotter days we had in June and I thought we were all going to melt. There was a breeze. A hot breeze... Bugs. *so* many bugs. All day long. BUT these two were troopers. I absolutely loved John's reaction to Calli during their first look. I love when the groom's show some emotion too!!
Fair Oaks is one of my favorite venues... Not only is it beautiful but the staff is amazing.
Surrounded by their friends and family they were married and it was beautiful. I was even emotional during parts of the day. Cant forget about the "shoe" game. I cant wait to play this at my own wedding!! Thanks John & Calli for having me as your photographer! I enjoyed you both so much!
Sam & Nicole. Two people I have known for some time. Growing up in a small town, you tend to go to school with some people from Kindergarten to high school. These two have been inseparable since middle school. Always together it seemed. They were the sweetest people in high school, and still two of the sweetest couples I have photographed to date. I am so elated they chose me to capture their special day. These two had both Liz & I, completely in tears when they decided to exchanged their notes and gifts before the ceremony. I couldn't contain myself. The love that they share is something special. Something I don't see every day. I hope they continue with that happiness for as long as they are together. That kind of love is hard to find. Thank you both so much <3
When Jenna and Chris contacted me and said that they were from Colorado and were getting married on the beach in Northwest Indiana. I thought to myself, WHY!???! Why would you leave beautiful Colorado for a beach wedding!! Then, after meeting them I understood... these two had such a beautiful hot summer day for this wedding. Surrounded by all of their friends and family. I loved all of their personal touches and adorable details. Jenna looked absolutely beautiful in her beach inspired wedding dress.
Ill let the photos do the talking :) Beach bridal portraits became my favorite! <3
These two. Oh my goodness. I could not have asked for a better day with them. So fun loving and easy going. I have to say its my favorite wedding of the summer so far! I met Jess and Clint at their engagement session last fall and I thought to myself, man these guys are going to be so much fun to be around. We just clicked, it was amazing. I am so very happy they found me :)
Oh, my goodness. This wedding, was so amazing. I fell in love with Heather and Llogan during their engagement session this past June! The beauty and simplicity, just blew me away. It was so warm and sunny that day, it made for amazing images. I hope this little family has some amazing years ahead of them!
