Now here is a woman who is known for details! Michele was not only one of our most organized brides but she knew exactly what she wanted (and didn’t want). All the while, she was one of the most genuine and sweetest brides we have had the pleasure of working with.

We got to know both Michele and Robert quite well starting with their engagement shoot and subsequent meetings. They feel absolutely blessed to have found one another after their first date at Cafe Patachou (which happens to be our favorite spot in the city).

Michele and Robert had a heartfelt ceremony at First Baptist. In fact, the flower girl carried the same basket Michele carried as a flower girl when she was a child. Their reception followed at the Marriott Keystone where Michele surprised Robert with oodles of race paraphernalia. He runs the motorsports program for Yokohama Tire Company. The person responsible making sure the day ran smooth was the talented Rebecca Raymond of Event Fantastic.

We wish Michele and Robert our very best and look forward to keeping in close contact. Enjoy!

Nate was bound for Starlight, Indiana for the third time with the Koetter-Pennington family. We have come to love this family!

The last visit was to shoot the wedding of Brittany and Ryan. This is where the strange twist begins. Brittany and Amy are sisters. Ryan and Seth are brothers. And, yes, they married each other. Two sisters married two brothers. Whew! We were really surprised when we met them initially. But Amy and Seth thought their siblings would hit it off so well they introduced them both…and that was that!

Anyway, Amy and Seth are awesome. Very soon after she got pregnant she called to ask if we could shoot pregnancy images and a baby shower. Nate was excited to be able to shoot most of the images on their property…even in their fabulous nursery. These two will make such great parents…we wish them the very best!

Nate recently did a photo shoot of newborn Claire Anne…the pride and joy of one of our previous bridal couples. They are absolutely adorable with Claire. Mark and Anne are two of the kindest people. You can tell when you talk to them what a blessing she is and how much joy she has brought to them in just two months.

We designed this announcement for them as a flat card. I played on the dots from the blanket. But then again, I am a total sucker for polka dots.

FRONT OF CARD

BACK OF CARD

We provided viewing cards at each wedding last year but discontinued doing so in 2007. A groom recently requested that we provide them at his upcoming wedding. So…if you are interested in us providing them for your wedding, please let me know. There is no cost to you. We typically leave them around the bar, cocktail tables, bathrooms, etc. The front and back of the card are depicted below.

We would like to congratulate two couples this week on reaching yet another milestone in their marriage.

Katie and Jordan Riggs were married May 28, 2005 at St. Joan of Arc with a beautiful reception following at the Indiana Historical Society. We have fortunately kept in touch with Katie and Jordan over the years because we have shot several of the friends’ weddings. They recently had a daughter, Riley. We cannot wait to get all of our girls together.

Sara and Cale Reeves were married May 31, 2003 at Brown County State Park. They had a breathtaking ceremony. One of the most unique details of their wedding, and still one of our favorites were the pale blue shoes and turquoise jewelery Sara wore. She and Cale were indeed a rare couple, and we enjoyed working with them. I love the name Cale too!
