November 2008

This is going to be quite the miscellaneous post, so just consider yourself forewarned! LOL 🙂 First, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom!! 🙂 I will be out of the office today spending some quality time with her so if you email me today, just know that I’ll get back to you later this week ok? I still have some emails from this weekend to catch up on too…I’m not ignoring anyone, I just have an incredibly busy week planned and I’m trying to catch up as quickly as possible! 😉

John & I took this past weekend off for a mini vacation and it was awesome! We stayed at the new Renaissance Hotel in Carmel and I HIGHLY recommend it! The staff is friendly, the food was awesome, the decor was amazing and I even checked out the ballrooms since we haven’t had the chance to shoot there yet and I was totally impressed! If you’re looking for a great getaway spot, wedding/reception venue or honeymoon suite, BOOK IT!! 🙂

Also, last night was my sister’s violin performance and she did a FAB job!! Congrats Leah! It was fun hanging out with everyone at Starbucks afterwards too!

Tomorrow is the GRAND OPENING of Holy Cow Cupcakes and can I just say how EXCITED I am to see Karen opening up her new shop?! I can’t wait!! She’s such an amazing person and deserves every bit of success coming to her! So mark your calendars…11 a.m. tomorrow, 11/19 is the Grand Opening at 545 South Rangeline Road, her shop is connected to the Crystal Flash on the east side of Rangeline Road. Be there!! 🙂

Oh and a special note to all of my JLI girls – I’ll be bringing some of her famous cupcakes with me to the Holiday Mart wrap up party this week so you’ll all have the chance to try them out then! 😉

Whew…ok, sorry for the ramblings, had to get that all out. 🙂 And I know a post is boring without a photo so here you go!! I give you “The Erin” cupcake 🙂

Last weekend, we photographed Shea & Jeremy’s wedding at Divine Savior Lutheran Church in Indy and their reception at the Sheraton downtown! We had a LOT of fun with them, they were so photogenic and up for anything – even braving the freezing cold weather to get some awesome outdoor pics!! 🙂 We’ll start off with the bling…. 🙂

It was so cute, his ring fit just perfectly over her wedding band…awwww!!

And Jeremy surprised Shea with a gorgeous new Coach purse & wallet that day!!

Our handsome groom…

LOVED this B&W!!

Aren’t her flowers gorgeous?! Angela from The Painted Daisy did a fantastic job as always!!

GORGEOUS!! Isn’t she STUNNING?!

Shea & dad….

Oh la la!! 🙂

This is SO Shea!! Love it!

FAVORITE!!

The church had these swing sets nearby and they were totally up for it!

Then we headed to the monument for a few group shots…

Jeremy did this without us even asking!! Such a sweet guy!! 🙂

I LOVE the yellow twinkle lights on the circle! 🙂 Makes me so excited for Christmas!!

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE shot of the day!! Doesn’t it make you want to SNUGGLE!?!? 🙂

Classic Cakes did an AMAZING job as always!!

I loved her centerpieces! Aren’t these fantastic?!

And check out the view from the Panoramic Ballroom!

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

Erin and her staff are more than you could ever imagine in a photography team. They were early to everything, prepared like you wouldn’t believe…Erin even had a place in her bag to carry my lipstick during the wedding. They captured every moment I requested, and did it better than I could have imagined.

Erin and her staff were absolutely amazing. Not only does she have a great staff that she works with, but she also works incredibly well with other vendors that I had for my wedding. Due to some inclement weather, Erin’s staff pulled together two hours ahead of schedule to accomodate the weather and we were able to get all of the pictures in that we wanted. I would recommend Erin to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

Erin Hession Photography was really great to work with. They provide exellent service before, durning and after your wedding to provide you with AWESOME photos of your wedding day. We also did our engagement photos with them and plan to have Erin take our family photos in the future. They really know how to capture the emotions of the moment.

Erin and her team made my special day go very smoothly. She was nothing short of amazing! She made it her personal goal to make me a princess for the day. And the pictures . . . breathtaking! She has a nack for capturing those really special “in the moment” shots. She doesn’t just set you up for a picture ~ she captures your emotions and memories puts together a love story for you. With ALL of the things that go wrong on wedding days, Erin is a sure bet! As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t have Erin Hession taking your pictures . . . you’re leaving your memories to chance!!!!!!!
