The Sheldon Family….
On Tuesday, we drove to Terre Haute to photograph the Sheldon family. They wanted some fun family photos and some generational photos with grandma. It was pouring down rain outside so we couldn't shoot at the nursing home's gazebo outside like we wanted to, but we made the best of it by re-arranging some furniture in the foyer. 🙂 We LOVE Jess's family…they're all so much fun! We photographed her wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception, her friends weddings and showers, her sisters maternity pics, baby shower, nephew…basically everything major that has happened in their lives over the last few years! 🙂 LOL
Here's baby Jalen with mom, grandma and great-grandma!
And Ryan with Jalen…this moment lasted all of about 2 seconds! LOL 🙂
Precious!!!!
He's SO little in that big comfy chair! LOL
Ryan was hilarious…he was SO done with pics after an hour of smiling so we started a little bribery…John pulled out our candy from our camera bags and Ryan started showing off…it made for more great pics! 🙂
And Jess with Jalen…
LOL! So cute…
Thanks for a great time you guys!! 🙂
The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation…
Last Sunday we did a double photo shoot for Katie and her husband, Milton. Katie's portion of the photo shoot was for The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation's 2008 calendar photo shoot! She's the new advocate for MTF since she was diagnosed with a benign tumor in her wrist 2 years ago and MTF helped her through a bone transplant…now she's tumor free and loving life!! Such an awesome story! 🙂 They wanted images that conveyed that she is doing well, loving life, is grateful for MTF and they needed an environmental background to go along with their theme for the calendar. So, we all met at Holcomb Gardens for her shoot on Sunday….here are some of my faves…she is so sweet!!!
Milton (on the right) has been friend with John for years!! In fact, he was the best man in our wedding…we love you guys!!! 🙂
Full of life, I love it!!
Congratulations Samantha & Mark!
Last Saturday we photographed Samantha & Mark's wedding at Christian Theological Seminary (Sweeney Chapel) and their reception at the Holiday Inn at the Pyramids. When we walked into the dressing room, they had amazing window light and fabulous details!! We LOVED her mom's purse (above) that totally matched her dress…and we loved Samantha's cute blue blinged out shoes! 🙂
Getting ready…
And as promised, an interior shot of our new emergency kit/suitcase…someday when I have more time to post, I'll tell you what all is in it. You'd be amazed!! 🙂
Chuck from The Florist at Allisonville Nursery did an amazing job on their flowers! The colors just popped in pictures! 🙂
The handsome groom…(who had his guys there on time!! We were totally impressed!!)
There was great side light coming in so we took advantage of that with another mob shot of the guys…:)
Ring bearer on the left = HILARIOUS! I don't think he was into pictures…and that's ok, it made for a funny shot! 🙂
Samantha's dress was gorgeous!! I love the pick up skirt style…
Loved this silhouette…
Karen Hall & Co did a great job with her hair & make-up!
Elizabeth O'Meara Ahlgrim was their harpist…she was fantastic!!
I do!! 🙂
Cute flower girls!!
Aren't they ADORABLE together?! She loved this metal door and I see why…very cool architecture so we had to get some pics there…
Mark had a cool pin striped suit on and I just LOVE this shot…usually we'll let the bride or groom (whoever has steady hands at that time) hold the bouquet super still to get a "rings in the flowers" shot…well, I noticed how cool he looked in his suit and took another variation of this shot! LOL Hope he doesn't hate me for posting this… 🙂
From inside the metal doors….
We finished up their pics at Holcomb Gardens after the ceremony…loved the warm sunlight! 🙂
It was getting close to sunset so we were losing our light fast but we managed to quickly shoot some amazing sunset/puffy cloud shots with them before it got too dark…here they are practicing their first dance…
STUNNING!
Since neither of them are "cake people"…they decided to have an ice cream sundae bar!! LOVED IT!!! 🙂
Doesn't this make you hungry?! LOL Grab a spoon!
Their first dance was choreographed and it was AMAZING!!!!!! I loved the Patrick Swayze style lift at the end – classic!!
Towards the end of the night, we snuck up to their honeymoon suite for a few room shots…
And of course, my signature shot…. 🙂
Hope you're having a blast on your honeymoon this week you guys! More pics coming soon! 🙂
