Samantha & John's Wedding

A few weeks ago I photographed Samantha & John's wedding. The ceremony was held at St. Luke's United Methodist Church. I have done several weddings there in the chapel but never in the big sanctuary which is extremely gorgeous. After the ceremony the weather was warm enough that we were able to use the grounds of the church which had a lot to offer and then we headed to Marriott North for the reception. John and Samantha combined have 5 sisters. I really enjoyed working with the two families and I hope they keep me in mind for future weddings! Congratulations Samantha and John!

Pug Meet-Up Halloween Edition

I haven't had a personal blog in a while mainly because I haven't had much time for a personal life but last weekend I was off so I attended the monthly Indy Pug meet-up at Broadripple Park.  This month's meet-up was the costume contest.  I had a wedding last year and could not attend so I was super excited for it this year.  My pug Sidney a.k.a. The Monkey wore his spider costume.  Normally I am not one for putting clothes or costumes on my dog but I just couldn't resist.  Although he did not win the contest he had a great time and slept for the next two days straight.  If you know anyone who has a pug or just needs an amusing activity the first Saturday of every month check www.meetup.com for event information.  

Amanda & Alex's Wedding

The second wedding of my double header weekend was Amanda & Alex's wedding. I wasn't even aware that they had weddings at Conner Prairie so I was really excited to see how they did things there. There could not be a better time of year than Fall to have a wedding there. Since I was little I associated Conner Prairie with fall, carmel apples and the headless horseman. The outdoor ceremony was just beautiful and I was so excited to have the big red barn to shoot the formals in front of. Later that night Amanda and Alex took everyone on a hay ride that had a surprise appearance of the headless horseman. I was so excited about it but then I was told there could be no photographs on the hay ride. The couple let me tag along for the ride though. Afterwards the guests danced into the night. I had a great time at their wedding and want to thank Amanda and Alex for having me and letting me re-live a happy memory from my childhood.

Purdue Engagement Session Part 1 - Katie & Brad

A couple of weekends ago I traveled to Lafayette for 2 engagement sessions. Both couples are graduates of Purdue. I started the morning with Katie and Brad. Earlier this year I photographed Katie's brother Tim's wedding so I was thrilled when they wanted me to be a part of another family wedding. The morning started out a little chilly but quickly turned into a beautiful fall day. Although I had friends at Purdue I did not get up to Lafayette very much during my college years so I enjoyed getting to see the lovely campus and having new locations to work with. Stay tuned for their wedding pictures in June!

Purdue Engagement Session Part 2 - Katie & John

Later that afternoon I met up with Katie and John. We started at the location where they actually got engaged. Katie and John are living apart for the time being so this was a fun weekend for them to be together and start some of their wedding activities. As we walked around the Purdue campus we made the connection that John and Brad were fraternity brothers. I am amazed at how small a world this is. All in all it was a beautiful day in Lafayette and I am so glad the weather was so gorgeous for these two couples. I can't wait for both of the weddings!

Catey's 6 Month Session

The leaves could not have turned at a better time for Catey's 6 month session. For those of you who follow the blog, I have been photographing Catey every 3 months since she was 2 days old. It has been amazing to see how she has grown and not to mention how much she looks like her daddy. Heather and Mark sat in for this session and I am so glad we had such beautiful fall colors to work with. Stay tuned for the 9 month session.
