Seymour Indiana Wedding Photography: Amy + Mike get married

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

What a beautiful late summer wedding Amy and Mike had. Between the forest decorated cake, diy table decorations, the thumb print guest tree, colored straws, and vibrant bouquets this wedding was a joy for me to photograph. I loved all of the memorable photo locations such as the fire tower and the sunset shots in the vineyards of Chateau De Pique. As always, I had a wonderful time working with the couple and their families.

Being these two work in the state parks, it was only appropriate we go to a small park near Brownsburg to climb the fire tower. I love when couples have creative ideas all their own!

Amazing cake made by Mike’s Aunt. The bases, both fathers of the couple cut down stumps and then Amy covered the bases with moss. Very appropriate cake for two foresters.

Slightly obsessed with the table decorations. They were small flowers made of twigs and colorful paper. So many great DIY ideas from this wedding!!

Grandma was taking photos with an an adorable old camera and the flower girl was precious. She picked up all the roses down the aisle after the wedding.

Higuey, Dominican Republic Trash the Dress: Tourist Market

Friday, August 27th, 2010

I broke up the “trash the dress” session posts as we did a 3 part series. Our last stop in Higuey was to a typical tourist market. They had all sorts of pottery, carved mahogany, and colorful Caribbean style paintings. I had so much fun photographing the bride and groom perusing for various souvenirs. At one point, the shop owners brought out a purple alcohol and gave the couple a shot.

I asked the bride, Dana, about her thoughts on Trash the Dress Photography:

The best part of the trash the dress photos was just getting out of the traditional poses and backgrounds to really get a feel of the location we were in. It felt so much more intimate and meaningful to explore the local places and take pictures our wedding attire. Being at the local basilica, knowing how important it is to the Dominicans, was a great feeling, and we had an amazing time taking pictures there and at the other locations. On your wedding day, everything goes by so fast that it is hard to just ENJOY it all. Doing the trash the dress pictures was so much more laid back, that I felt so much more connected to the area and to Matt, and I think that it shows in the pictures

A Vespa and Polaroid Elopement: Aditi and Ranjit

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Aditi and Ranjit met in India and currently live in Columbus, Indiana. They elopes as most of their friends and family are far away, yet, it wasn’t a secret as most loved ones knew they were getting married. The two will have a small family party later to celebrate their nuptials. The setting midwest sun, queens anne lace, and gorgeous bcbg dress really were so simple and beautiful. I adore the emotion and love I was able to capture for them.

Aditi you are stunning!

A perfect Polaroid ending… Contax 645 120mm to come shortly

Dominican Republic Destination Trash the Dress Photography

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

The day after their destination wedding at the Dreams Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Dana and Matt requested a trash the dress session on the white sand beaches. These two were tired but braved one last session in the sand. I’d HIGHLY recommend doing a trash the dress if you do a destination wedding and after you see the below photos you’ll agree!

Indianapolis Wedding Photographer: Annie + Devlin’s Military wedding

Monday, July 19th, 2010

If you follow me on facebook or twitter you know I posted about learning a life lesson at this wedding. Annie, the bride, had emergency surgery 2 days prior to her wedding. I had gotten the call that the wedding may not take place as the bride could hardly stand. The wedding did not go exactly as planned, but Annie decided to go through with it and she did not let one thing bother her. Even though she was not at 100%, she smiled and took the day in stride.

This spunky sweet girl decided to infuse her wedding with DIY and unique ideas. From the vibrant blue ruffled stilettos, to the hot pink bridesmaid shoes and bouquets, there were so many fun details to capture. Even her wedding ring, necklace, reception flip flops, aisle decorations, and peacock feather bottle center pieces were all do-it-yourself. Her Marine husband, Devlin was very dashing in his official ensemble.

Boys being boys

Meet Annie and her something blue.

Devlin holding the custom made wedding rings. Swoon worthy!

Annie had a supportive bridesmaid entourage to help her with everything and make her laugh

Hot Pink stilettos. Enough said.

There were giant vintage family photos displayed on the Lahr Atrium windows. A beautiful touch I thought.

Needless to say the shoes didn’t stay on long so of course I took more photos of them. I love wedding detail photos!

The crowd tossed birdseed as the couple excited… cute idea except there was a pound of seed on Annie’s gorgeous custom gown we had to shake out. Still it didn’t bother Annie a bit.

This is where Devlin proposed (right by the fountain) so it was natural to take some wedding photos here.

Photo perfection. With a tiny bit of planning with the photographer the couple can get these dreamy sunset lit photos. Stunning!!!

First Dance. The Lahr Atrium was a great back drop for Annie’s wedding cocktail reception theme.

Cake with gorgeous back lighting. The topper was unique as it was brought back from Spain by her bridesmaid.

Tossing bouquets and garters.

I’ll end this post with this sunset kiss.

Skyline Club Wedding: Antonia + Corey

Monday, July 12th, 2010

These two adorable professors chose a modern background at the Skyline Club in Indianapolis for their Friday nuptials. I knew immediately after I met the two last fall their wedding would be a blast to photograph. You see, they are both gregarious, smart, awesome people that I instantly felt as if I had known them for years.

The light at the Skyline Club in Indianapolis was perfect! Antonia and Corey chose the Skyline club for the view as they were both stunned by the looks of the city 36 floors up.

So many details I was in photographers heaven

View from the Skyline was breathtaking!

The stunning and unique garter is by Rosebud Lips and bridesmaids purses by: Tulip Couture. Aside from her dress, Antonia’s favorite purchase was her RosebudLip garter. She’s already been talking to someone to make it into something she can wear in her hair.

Antonia’s advice to future brides is to utilize the talents of your family and friends to save some money and make the wedding more special. Her mom designed her invitations and her bridesmaids, Kellye, Aunt Kam, mom, and friend Jeri put together the gorgeous flowers.

A funny moment was Muzak played accidentally during the ceremony, but Antonia and Corey held it together. Their friend, Kellye also preformed the ceremony.

the best is when you get this type of sunset light/flare as it makes a photo awash in beautiful warm light

meanwhile….

Time for some toasts and dancing which the Iced toast by Christopher, Corey’s brother proved to be one of the funniest moments. Antonia’s favorite moment was the formal dances and time shared with friends and family at the reception.

Lafayette Wedding Photography: Erin + Nick The Trails

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Erin & Nick wed this past memorial day and everything could not have gone smoother! Floating through the trees were bundles of cotton tree blossoms which gave the day a light romantic feel. The wedding and reception both took place at The Trails in Layette, Indiana. What was super awesome about this wedding was all the family photos, bridal photos, and bridal party photos were taken before the ceremony so right after they said I do they went straight into party mode. At sunset, we snagged the couple for a some quick photos as the light was drop dead gorgeous sunset perfection.
