Erica + Neal Married! | Indianapolis Indiana Wedding Photographer
Posted on July 28, 2010
This weekend I was lucky enough to be a part of the beautiful wedding of Erica and Neal. Their head-over-heals love for eachother is apparent to everyone around them and their sweet and simple wedding fit their laid back personalities perfectly right down to the wedding slippers the bride wore down the aisle.
Erica & Neal, Thank you SO much for letting us be a part of your day. We had so much fun capturing every moment. I hope you are having an amazing time in Mexico!
Ceremony: Chapel Rock Christian Church
Reception: Martha’s Orchard

This is Faith and John. They are awesome. My new best friends. They have an incredible love story, but I’m not going to tell you now. I will be shooting their awesome wedding in September so you will have to wait until then. But look at them! Aren’t they adorable?!

These perfectly capture Faith’s fabulous silly side which is one of the many reasons I heart her. (John’s not too shabby either…) I can hear her laughing in the third picture.
Can’t wait for September – I’ll be the crazy college-friend bridesmaid!

Jake + Jenny Married! | Nashville Indiana Wedding Photographer
Posted on June 14, 2010
Wow! I have been so excited and nervous for this post and I’m kind of at a loss for words at the moment. This weekend was Jake and Jenny’s wedding day which marked my first EVER solo wedding. It was HOT and the ever threatening rain did not help my nerves one bit. We lucked out though, and the rain held off long enough for this awesome couple to have the beautiful ceremony outdoors as they had planned.
A picture is suppose to be worth a thousand words, and there are a lot of pictures here, so I won’t bore you with anymore of my lousy writing. On to the photos!
This is Jenny & Jake’s fur-baby Gunther. He is such a sweet puppy.
Jenny is such a classic beauty…
Jake and Jenny’s family read excerpts from one of my favorite books by Dr. Seuss called Oh! The Places You Will Go…
I was a weepy mess during the speeches…
The Good Life Culinary did the catering. Seriously one of the best meals I have had, not only at a wedding, but period. Matt is not only a great chef, but an incredibly nice guy and the staff was so accommodating and graciously dealt with our gear that was strung about everywhere. If you are looking for a caterer, you cannot go wrong with them…
Jenny & Jake,
I was so incredibly honored to be a part of your amazing day. Thank you for choosing me as your photographer. It was an amazing experience and I am so overjoyed to have your wedding day be the start of my journey into wedding photography. Have a safe trip and a wonderful honeymoon in Egypt!
Ceremony: Brown County State Park Nature Center
Reception: Brown County State Park Lower Shelter
Catering: The Good Life Culinary
Flowers: DIY by the bride & groom’s family
Dress: DIY by a friend of the family
Groom & Best man’s Attire: J. Crew

Tiffany + Zach Married | Cincinnati Ohio Wedding Photographer
Posted on June 13, 2010
A few weeks ago I had the extreme privilege of helping my awesome friends Cathy and David, of Cathy + David Photographers, with the awesomely beautiful wedding of Zach and Tiffany. This couple is gorgeous to say the least and you can clearly see how much they love each other. While I didn’t get many opportunities to take photos before the reception (Zach, I am sincerely sorry for your minimal presence in this post), but I am so please with the photos I did get. Now onto the awesome wedding!
How gorgeous is Tiffany?! Seriously.
Absolutely my favorite shot of the day…
You can only describe this wedding one way; FUN! I had so much fun and I wasn’t even a guest!
Can anyone spot photo-ninja Cathy?
Cathy and David, thank you so much for having me along. It was such an amazing learning experience and so much fun too! Love you guys!
The awesome and amazing Cathy and David…

Crystal + John Engaged! | Bloomington Indiana Wedding Photographer
Posted on June 12, 2010
One of the best things about being a photographer in Bloomington is being able to photograph the awesome couples that met and fell in love while attending IU. They all have such great connections to the beautiful campus and each other. It’s such a great thing to see. An amazing example of such connections are John and Crystal. They were so cute and I could instantly see how much they love each other by the way she lit up when he told me about dropping the ring because he was so nervous to propose, and the way he held her and kissed her shoulder even when the camera was put away. They were such a joy to be with and to photograph and I loved the shots we got!

Amanda + Aaron: Married! | Terre Haute Indiana Wedding Photographer
Posted on June 8, 2010
I was lucky enough to have the chance to meet a fellow photographer this weekend, Melissa from Melissa Copeland Photography! She was so nice and let me tag along to one of her weddings so I could see how she works and get some more insight into what it take to be a wedding photog. Let me tell you, it is HARD work. Not only do you have to be able to take a great photo, but you have to have stamina and a great personality to back it up. I’m loving every bit of it and I can’t wait to shoot my first solo wedding this weekend for Jake and Jenny! Until then, I’ll leave you with some shots from Amanda and Aaron’s Terra Haute wedding…

These could be your rings… but they’re not. They’re mine. But picture yours there, because I am practicing to make sure your rings look great in the photos I take.

Jenny & Jake | Bloomington Indiana Wedding Photographer
Posted on April 16, 2010
I knew the moment I met Jenny and Jake, that I was the luckiest photographer in the world. Not only are they incredibly adorable, and obviously in love, they are incredibly brave. You see, I have not shot a wedding before, and these two are going to be my willing guinea pigs when I shoot their big day on June 12th. They are so laid back, funny, and share my love for awesomely bad movies!
After a great lunch at The Uptown Cafe, we did a quick engagement session on campus. It was windy and pretty cold. Jenny was a trooper and took her jacket off so we could get some of these great shots.
Jake, Jenny, thank you SO much for being so awesome! You are the best first couple a photographer could ask for. I hope you love your engagement images and I can’t wait to create more for you on your beautiful day in June!
This first shot is my favorite from the whole session.

Amanda, these are great!
I love the last photo of them in the field. I just love those kind of shots. Gorgeous lighting.
Yellow is such an unusual colour for weddings, I love it, I think there should be more yellow flowers around! The dancing shots are brilliant.
You did an amazing job on these Amanda! Way to go!
Lovely job, Amanda!
Love how you framed the shot of them kissing in the car. Nicely done!
A well balanced set of photos here. From the getting ready, the portraits and the reception, well done!
Just beautiful, Amanda. I really like the one of the necklace fastening. The light is just perfect, as is her expression.
Great job, Amanda! I love the last one in the field.
Love those yellows! What a beautiful sunny spot for photos! Love your work on this one!
Very modern and beautiful wedding photography. Excellent work.
Yay, Amanda! These are great images, especially those last several, the reception photographs are fabulous.
Pretty. Cool. Pretty cool! The last one & the B & W of the bride are favs.
That ring shot is gorgeous! great job.
Lovely set of photos. The colours are superb. Also, the first picture of the bride is a B&White classic – she looks soo pretty.
Stunning work! I agree with the others, yellow is a great color for a wedding! That last shot is so perfect. <3
