The eyes. The eyes. The eyes on these kids are amazing!

One of the weddings we have most anticipated in 2009…set on a 700 acre farm that has been in Samantha’s family since the 1800s.  The Victorian home has been relatively untouched so the nooks and crannies throughout were absolutely intriguing and set the backdrop for a beautiful day.

There were so many amazing aspects to this wedding…Samantha and David are absolutely gorgeous and tuned into each other on their own frequency.  It was fun to observe.  Their friends and family are agreeable, enjoyable and extremely close.  By far the best Best Man speech and father-daughter dance EVER.

The farm…what can we say other than we love Indiana for just this reason.  And then the ceremonies…the Katuba signing left us teary.  They could hardly get through the reading of it.

The dual Christian-Jewish marriage was extremely personable.  But will always remain in my memory is something the minister said.  It rained the entire day.  You might not be able to tell from the images below but we were forced to get very creative.  It was pouring at times.  Yet Samantha remained cool as can be.  She believed it would clear up in time for the ceremony.  And…she was right. The minister said that he believes heaven takes a break…a quiet moment…to observe all weddings.  And, clearly on the day Samantha and David were married that was the case.  The clouds parted, the sun shined, and the ceremony was perfect.

A special thanks for Mallory and April…couldn’t have done it without you two!

I immediately had a lot in common with the mom of these beautiful kids…not only does she have twins but a fourth on the way!  They were troopers.  We just loved their outfits…and their eyes were amazing.  Enjoy!

There is nothing better than seeing our past brides and grooms have babies!  Amy and Les are no exception.  From the beginning, we were particularly fond of this couple.  Amy looks stunning.  Enjoy!

Where to begin…this was one of those weddings that we simply won’t forget. The wedding took place at Loman Horse Farm which is owned by Beth’s grandmother among the rolling hills of Lexington, Kentucky.

Not only are Beth and Dave a great couple (they are the owners of Indy Photo Booths) but their friends and family are enormously fun.  We felt like part of the group. 

Some of the highlights from the day included:  eyeing a cool horse grain warehouse and thinking why not take pictures here, viewing the magestic view of the land with the horses roaming in the background, walking into the beautiful white tent that was fresh and perfect with pink polka dots, putting on the colorful flip flops provided at the reception, Beth’s father jamming on the keyboard to several songs with the Familiar Faces band, watching a group of people sweat while dancing more than we thought possible, having a midnight snack of burgers, fries, and milkshakes, and seeing a fantastic couple off with sparklers.

An awesome Indy vendor team was assembled by Monica Richard of Detail & Design which included: Gene Huddleson of Detail & Design (decor and florals), Bob Ridge of IndyVisual (videography), BMG (Lighting), and Jen Swathwood of CardInk (stationary and programs).

We ask a series of questions to each couple we photograph to help us get to know them better before the wedding.  In any case, it was a first with Laurie and Chris that we received a four-page ‘Dossier.’   We just loved it. 

Some of our favorites parts:  Chris was late to their first date, Laurie hid out in the airport parking lot next to Chris’ car to suprise him, they are total movie buffs and got engaged at the theater, he buys lottery tickets and she saves every penny, Chris doesn’t mind shopping and Laurie doesn’t mind watching football, they love board games, they make mets on shows like the ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Big Brother’, and Chris is a ‘War Craft’ gamer (in fact several of his online buddies showed up at the wedding…a first face-to-face meeting).

Anyway the ceremony and reception were held at the Omni Severin.  Simply beautiful and fresh…white with red accents created by McNamara.  The day started with Kiralee Hubbard of EyeMax.  We had a wonderful time sharing the day with Chris and Laurie.

Check back in a few days for their wedding album design.  Enjoy!
