Last week we met up with Brittany & Brad for their engagement shoot downtown at the Indiana State Museum! I had this vision before their shoot that I wanted to do a really cool off centered silhouette using the building’s architecture and BAM it happened on the FIRST shot! I LOVE it when stuff like that happens!

I love all of the neat exhibits and architecture at the ISM, it’s truly the perfect indoor shooting spot downtown!

They are soooo cute together!! Can’t wait for their wedding!

We stopped by the Tea Room for a few photos too…

Then they switched into their jerseys for a few photos. We didn’t even realize that the Jim Irsay Collection was being featured until we all got there, how perfect was that?!

Favorite!

Despite the cold weather and crazy winds that day, we were able to pop outside for some cool skyline and canal photos! Loved this one!

Another favorite!

Check out her bling!! LOVE it!

So cute!

Brittany’s eyes are so blue here, they’re beautiful!!

Thanks for a great time you guys!! More pics coming soon!

On 2/11 we photographed Paula & Frank’s beautiful wedding at Our Lady of Mount Carmel & their reception at the Renaissance in Carmel! I LOVE the decor inside the Renaissance, it’s perfect for so many fabulous detail shots like this one below!

Union Street Florist in Westfield did a great job on the flowers! Paula looked stunning too, All About You salon did a great job on her hair & make-up!

They are so adorably cute together!!

LOVE reflections!!

Paula’s bouquet = amazing!!

After some photos at the Renaissance, we headed over to the church for a few more…what a perfect day for a blue sky silhouette!!

Paula’s dad co-officiated the ceremony which made it super special to them!

There were some remnants of snow on the ledge of the outside walkway…perfect for a creative ring shot!

Classic Cakes did a fabulous job on their cake!

They even made this amazing airplane for the groom’s cake!!

Wes from Event One DJs did a great job that night too, he kept the dance floor packed the whole time!

LOVE this first dance silhouette!!

Paula has such a great smile, doesn’t she?

They had an awesome candy buffet so of course I used a variety of candy for some ring shots but I also wanted to try something new and a bit whimsical….

The wallpaper reminded me of bubbles!!

Thanks for a great time you guys! More pics coming soon!

This week, John & I went on a mini getaway for Valentine’s Day and stayed at the French Lick Resort! I wanted to post a few cool shots that we took while we were down there…

The lobby details were so ornate & beautiful!

We also went to check out West Baden while we were in the area…

LOVED the dome!

This dome just begs to be photographed in fisheye!

If anyone is thinking of having a wedding reception in French Lick, THIS SPOT would be AMAZING…just sayin!

John & I had a great time together, we exchanged some really awesome gifts, relaxed, went to a movie, ordered in room service and took photos around the grounds. It was the perfect Valentine’s Day getaway!
