Nate and our trusty assistant, Shannon, traveled to Batesville, Indiana for the wedding of Lindsey and Ben. To their surprise it was a beautiful, old town. There are a couple of things that got us excited about this wedding…peonies, a bright blue sky, a gorgeous church, a majestic bed & breakfast, an rustic barn, a laid back couple, and a bride with gorgeous eyes.

They added a genuine touch to their programs by including a ‘bio’ of each attendant in their wedding party. It gave a synopsis of how they knew Lindsey and Ben, where they lived, what they did for living, etc. It was a nice touch.

‘Tis the season for creating holiday cards.  We still have plenty more to design but I thought I would post some of our favorite creations thus far.  It is not too late (although I may give you a hard time) if you would like to consider ordering some for yourself.  Believe me…I have not even begun to work on my own.  I may find myself sending out Valentine’s Day cards instead.  Enjoy!

One of our favorite couples (Tara and Erik) just sent us the images below. Two of their guests caught us dancing on the dance floor (it wouldn’t be the first time). It may have been the great band or maybe just the great guests at their wedding or maybe a great brother/sister team. Regardless, we managed to have a lot of fun while we worked.

We loved spending time with this senior from McCordsville despite it being a very windy and cold Autumn day downtown.  She was instantly talkative, adorable, and her eyes sparkled…I guess that is why she was voted Homecoming Queen at her high school.  In fact, see if you can find the tiara in one of the images below.  We were sneaky.   Enjoy!

What Nate and I love most about the wedding business…is that no two weddings have ever been alike…even if they are at the same location. Each wedding carries with it a distinct personality that is first carved out by the bride and groom. And then further developed by their wedding party, guests, decor, and music.

We knew that Krista and Marc were going to have a wedding that was definitely non-traditional…they told us so from the beginning. It was pragmatic, simple, understated, very casual, quirky, and artistic. You see, Krista and Marc are both artists. One of the funniest comments I remember them mentioning early on in our meetings was they preferred few images of ‘inanimate objects.’ So the detail guy that Nate is had to lay off a little for this occasion.

In any case, Krista’s gown was handmade by her mother within hours of her walking down the aisle at the Indianapolis Art Center. And I must say…she carried it off very well. Their best man and maid of honor became ordained in order to perform the ceremony. We think highly of Krista and Marc and wish them the very best.

We were thrilled to hear this family had a new addition arrive from Guatemala and were in need of a new family portrait. I honestly have never witnessed such a happy child with such a happy family. They all exuded a real spirit for life…smiling and giggling the entire shoot. We wish these Colts fans all of the best. Enjoy!

Beth has become quite a good friend of mine since Tim deployed. She is spirited, giving and extremely kind. We each have two boys, are avid (yet slow) runners, we have plenty of mutual friends, and were acquaintances in college.  Beth and Jeff and a great couple with great kids.  They figured it was time they tried getting some images of their family.

Tiffany and Jordan are planning a fabulous ceremony and reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis with the help of wedding planner, Rebecca Raymond.  It has such beautiful architecture…we love shooting there.

Apparently, Jordan isn’t a fan of having his picture taken but I think he looks fantastic and Tiffany thought the shoot was enjoyable for them both.  Again…another cold day downtown but they smiled through it. Enjoy!
