Heather

Wow!  And I thought weddings were fun!  I just got back from shooting my first senior and couldn't wait to put a slideshow together.  Heather is an amazing young woman with an extremely bright future ahead of her.  She's got great taste -- in photographers =) -- and hobbies.  You'll see what I mean towards the end with the gadget in her hands.  If all seniors are a fraction of this fun, it's gonna be a blast!

Alicia & Scott's Wedding

It's a blast to look back at pictures and think of how fun the day was.  Here's a sneak peek in on Alicia & Scott's wedding from Friday!

Scott & Alicia

Friday night was round one of a double-header weekend packed with back-to-back killer weddings!  Scott and Alicia, aka our future babysitters that we're gonna stick our kids with for a long weekend so they can have some practice and my own bride and I can get away, were a stunning couple.  Here are just a few of the shots of them.  Be sure to check out the bottom one!

This adorable boy ran out to the floor right on time for the garter toss.  He stood there just waiting with hope in his eyes and arms reaching out.  He was stealing the show and stealing the hearts of the girls!  An obviously handsome young man, he looks just like his father--ME!  

David Jay, Alive Fest, & NFL Hall of Fame

So last week I decided to take a trip to Canton, Ohio, to see my friend DJ and attend Alive Fest (A Christian Woodstock).  I thought, while I'm at it, might as well cross another one off the list and sneak over to the NFL Hall of Fame.  While I was there, I saw this amazing double rainbow.  The image doesn't do justice to the true colors.  (Not to be confused with Cindy Lauper's song.)

I was pleased to see my boy "Sweetness" (aka Walter Payton) had a few shout-outs to him and the other Monsters of the Midway. 

DJ and I went out for some sushi and Thai food... now you might stop right there and wonder why sushi in Canton, Ohio?  Maybe it's from the Great Lakes, but either way I must admit I was impressed with the quality.  It was great to spend so much time one on one with DJ and talk about other things besides just photography.  I met him last summer through my friend Deyl who happens to be his best friend.  They are both definitely intriguing entrepreneurs and I always learn a lot from them.

Here we are outside the Thai place, as you can tell by the big neon sign in the backdrop.
Here's a shot of us with his friend Brett in Chicago at a wedding almost a year ago.  These two were great Lovecats in sharing their knowledge with me and giving my business a boost.

I'm blessed to continue to grow and learn more about photography, business, and life by my amazing friends far and near!

Megan & Pat's Wedding

What a day!  I just got back from this beautiful wedding and the family was so fun I just had to post about them.  Megan and Pat are such a great reminder of the love that two people have for each other at that exciting stage of life.  They are an amazing couple that are blessed with amazing friends.  And as Megan would say, "I have lots of friends!"  (She's kinda like that...friendly that is.)  The wedding party was a blast!  One was one of my first weddings ever and another is one I can't wait to shoot for in just over a month.

And check this out, on the way to the church, one of the groomsmen saved a life...literally!  I guess a woman was choking on something at a fast-food place where the guy had stopped by. He had to do the Heimlich maneuver and everything.  How insane is that!  We think he was just trying to steal the day from Pat.  It didn't work though.  

Kari and Chris

I had the honor of second shooting with the fabulous Kiera Dubach downtown in Indy with Kari and Chris. It was held at the amazing Mavris. These two were a blast! Beautiful people + Beautiful settings = Beautiful pictures.

Indiana Beauty

Incase you don't live in Indiana, the weather here has been pretty crazy and wet lately.  There's not much about it that's pleasant.  It seems like every year we go from Winter to Summer, skipping the cool breeze of the Spring.  This year has been no exception!  One thing I do love though is the stormy sky we get sometimes.  These shots are from the other night and are straight out of the camera.  I didn't have to do any special coloring; God did that for me.

It's almost as if there is a wall where the two colors meet!
