Congratulations Sarah & Marc!
Sarah and Marc were married at the beautiful Summit Club in Fort Wayne on June 23rd! We had a great time with them that evening and have so many fabulous pics to share! The Summit Club overlooks downtown Fort Wayne and even though the weather didn't cooperate in the beginning, we ended up with a fantastic sunset at the end of the night. Jackie Meyer from Simply Elegant did a great job coordinating every detail…DJ's Direct kept the dance floor packed all night and the Summit Club did an amazing job on the catering. Here's their collage and some larger pics of my favorites!
Her dress was so elegant!
I loved the bridesmaids dresses and necklaces too…
Sharing a few moments together before the ceremony…:)
Their first dance was choreographed and it was AMAZING! I highly recommend this to couples if you want to make a great first impression at your reception. Their "dip" at the end was the perfect ending to the perfect first dance.
The view from the reception hall was awesome. When I saw the warm golden glow on the buildings, I immediately went to the other side of the room to check out the sunset and then grabbed the bride & groom for a few pics in front of the sunset that night, it was so cool!
Sarah was so cool…she didn't even think twice when I asked her if I could write on her shoes…LOL
Sarah had one of her friends run around with a Polaroid camera (just for fun) that day so of course, I had to get a few shots of that! 🙂
Congrats you guys! Hope you had a blast on your honeymoon…lots more pics to come soon! 🙂

Last day of Vegas…
Vegas Recap (Wednesday’s events…)
After his presentation, I finished the last room of the tradeshow and found these awesome linen covered flushmount style albums that I'd like to start carrying this year. Their sample book has the couple's names spelled out in the beads on the outer cover and then the inside is like the usual hard board flushmount style albums but this one was designed with their engagement pictures inside! What a fabulous idea!! The couple could display the book in their home, bring it with them to their pre-wedding festivities, use it to display on the gift table at the reception, use it as a guest book, the possibilities were endless.
Vegas Recap (Tuesday’s events…)
Then I went to Joe Buissink's class that afternoon and he was simply amazing…he shoots celebrity and high-end weddings on a regular basis (like Jessica Simpson's wedding) and he's the most humble photographer you'll ever meet, I loved it. In between classes, I took time to walk the tradeshow floor some more where our wedding photographer, Gary Fong (pictured above) was doing a live demo of his new Whaletail flash diffuser accessory. Gary is such an amazing photographer and businessman, he probably has one of the largest followings of anyone out there. 🙂 Needless to say, I bought the Whaletail at his debut and I'm most excited about the colored gels it comes with…I think it will take our modeling shoots to a whole new level.
Here are some fun shots from images that Joe showed everyone at his seminar, he photographed this dog in various costumes for fun and his images are now being turned into a huge product line, like greeting cards, calendars, etc. that will be released in the U.S. later this year!
