On 4/16 we photographed Kathi & Josh’s beautiful wedding & reception at the Ritz Charles in Carmel!

Karen Hall & Company did a fabulous job on Kathi’s hair & make-up, as usual! They are AWESOME! 🙂

Kathi looked stunning!! I loved her dress, it was like the designer specifically had her in mind when he created that dress!

Angie from Bokay did a fabulous job on all of their florals!!

LOVED her bouquet!

She even put some florals up in the alcove above the altar!

So pretty!! I love photographing lots of pretty details!! 🙂

It makes for great ring shots too! 😉

I ADORED Josh’s reaction when Kathi walked down the aisle to Train’s “Marry Me” song…it was such a magical moment!!

Such a pretty ceremony!

I loved this silhouette!!

They are so adorable together! 🙂

April showers made for a cute umbrella photo 🙂

The entrance at the Ritz has great architecture, it definitely lends itself to a fisheye shot! 😉

Adorable…seriously, could they be any cuter?! 🙂

Sparkler heart!!! LOVE!

Tony from Event One DJs did a great job at keeping the dance floor going all night! I love the lights he brings with him too, they make for some neat silhouettes and back lights!

Favorite moment of the night was when they ended with “Time of My Life” (from the Dirty Dancing movie & soundtrack) and Josh did a “lift” at the end! 🙂

Thanks for a great time you guys! Hope you’re enjoying Jamaica!!! 🙂

On 4/8, we photographed Jenni & Kevin’s beautiful wedding & reception at Mavris! Mavris is SUCH a cool venue, if you’ve never been there before, you MUST check it out!

They have one of the coolest bridal suites I’ve ever seen…lots of cool, dramatic lighting! I loved this shot of Jenni with her matron of honor and her pug Alley, just hanging out in the suite. 🙂

Jenni had a gorgeous dress!! I loved the details of the buttons and the use of lighting and negative space in this shot…perfect for an album background image, don’t you think? 🙂

Another fave…cool lighting + reflection of the veil in the mirror = LOVE it!

Alley was such a good little girl, she just sat up there with her purple boa on while the girls got ready! LOL

Someone even wrapped a wedding gift in pug wrapping paper!! CUTE!

Shortly after Jenni got dressed, we finished up family formals and then headed outside to take some train photos! A little vintage action on this one…

And motion blur on this one 🙂

Aren’t they adorable together?! 🙂

Taking a walk…

Snuggled in tight!! 🙂 You guys belong in a wedding magazine, seriously!

Oh la la!

HOT!

Another cool thing about Mavris is their amazing uplighting! It’s so dramatic, I LOVE it! Jenni, you are stunning!!

Such a pretty bride!!

Kathy’s Kloset did a great job on her flowers! Check out her bling!! Kevin, you did an AMAZING job on her rings! WOW

The ceremony had tons of candles in the background, loved it!!

Beautiful venue!

Pat a Cake did a great job on their cakes! Yep, they had 3 cakes!! Here is the main wedding cake…

Check out the reception site!

I LOVED the reflection of the room against the view of downtown Indy…it’s a super cool space!

More pretty details!

Cake #2! Oh yes, there was a PUG cake!!! LOVED IT!! 🙂

And cake #3 was a guitar groom’s cake for Kevin! 🙂 Very reminiscent of their engagement session! I love it when our couples incorporate things that they love to do into their ceremony & reception, it makes it so much more personalized that way!

We took some photos outside at sunset that night…loved this one! I love the twinkling lights in the background too!

So sweet…

Jenni got her groove on that night! LOL I bet that was a Britney song playing! 🙂

Another fun ring shot for the wine connoisseurs! 🙂

Thanks for a great time you guys!! More pics coming soon!! (And give Alley a hug for us, she was such a good little model that day!) 😉

 

This past week, we photographed Cortney & TJ’s engagement shoot in Broadripple! The weather was gorgeous and the sky was SO BLUE that day! We lucked out!! 🙂 They brought their dogs with them for a few photos too, which of course, I LOVED!! Meet Lilly the adorable pug…

And Peyton, the adorable Mastiff! They were both SO SWEET to work with and they loved the fact that we brought treats and a squeaky toy with us. Yeah, we’re animal lovers! 🙂

Cortney & TJ are SO cute together, I just adore them…here they are looking like models…

I LOVED the composition and lines of this one…yeah, I’m a photo dork. 🙂

They both wore great shoes for their shoot!

LOVE!!

So happy together!

I think this one is my favorite, there is so much happiness in this photo, I just LOVE it! 🙂

We walked around Broadripple and stopped by Starbucks for a few fun shots…

Cortney’s ring is AWESOME!

Cool ring + Starbucks treats = awesome photos! 🙂

Thanks for a fun time you guys, more pics coming soon!! Hug your puppies for us!! 🙂

 

On 4/2, we went up to Valparaiso for our friend Kelly’s 5K walk for cystic fibrosis. Kelly is an AMAZING woman and she has defied so many odds in her life. To read more about her, click HERE! 🙂 She is truly the most determined person I know…she decided that she wanted to create a charitable organization called Care CF (website coming soon) where she could assist other CF patients by providing care packages to them during their extended hospital stays. She raised pledges for each mile that she walked and I know for a fact that she raised hundreds of dollars and received LOTS of care package donations! My blog readers alone donated $250 and 3-4 huge boxes FULL of stuff for her care packages!! (THANK YOU ALL!!) 🙂

Kelly made this poster with photos of other friends of hers with CF. She wanted to put a face to the disease and she also wanted her friends to “cross the finish line” with her. She’s so awesome!

Excited for the race to begin!!

And she’s off!!

Heading toward the finish line…determined as ever!!

Such a happy, emotional moment for everyone! 🙂

Hugging another friend of hers who is battling CF….

Kelly had her own cheering section, it was AWESOME! Definitely one of the most memorable shoots of my life!

Her husband Scott is her rock. You can tell how much they truly adore one another. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph their wedding almost 5 years ago! 🙂

Love you guys!!!

We’ve been so busy with traveling and shooting that I haven’t had much time to blog, but I wanted to post a few fun photos from our recent Chicago trip! 🙂 We stayed at The Wit Hotel in Chicago for a few days at the end of March and we had a blast!

I loved the decor in the hotel, it was super cool…

We went to Water Tower to shop…loved this vintage dress…

Papyrus even had a dress made out of invitations! LOL

7 floors of SHOPPING!! 🙂

While we were in the area, we had to stop by the famous Sprinkles cupcake shop!

Then we went to Navy Pier, it was a lot of fun!

LOL John LOVES Haagen Dazs, especially their Dulche Split Dazzler!

YUM!
