It has been a rare and an extreme honor to have been a Founding Board Member of Wish Upon a Wedding – Indianapolis Chapter.  It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to granting weddings for those battling life threatening illnesses.  Our foundation was created to celebrate the courage, determination and spirit of these couples by granting their dream wedding wishes.

Since our launch last Spring, with the help of many generous companies and individuals, we have granted weddings to two deserving couples in Indianapolis. It was a profound experience to see these wishes come true.

The purpose of our Blissful Wishes Ball is to raise crucial funding needed to grant wedding wishes for individuals facing terminal illness and other serious life-altering circumstances.  Although many aspects of these wedding wishes are donated, there are still many things we cannot afford to cover to make their dream weddings come true.

Please join us on November 14th.  Nathaniel Edmunds Photography is making a special contribution on behalf of Wish Upon a Wedding.  For all of our past and future brides and grooms, if you register to attend the Ball before October 24th, we will provide you with a DVD of your high-resolution images. Details will be provided to you once your confirm your ticket purchase.

There are some things you cannot quite fathom…and on the top of the list is losing a child.  Unfortunately, one of our previous brides and grooms, Corrina and Zack, lost their infant son a few months ago unexpectedly.  As soon as he was born, Bowen, struggled for life.  Corrina and Zach’s enormous strength and positive attitude, coupled with their need to give back, prompted them to start a blood drive in the honor of Bowen.

When we heard of their loss, it filled us with such sadness.  So we felt it was absolutely necessary to photograph this initiative for them.  We are so proud of their efforts, and hope that everyone continues to see the importance of giving blood.

Big sister, Maeve, was a trooper.  We were so excited to observe her HUGE personality.

Congratulations on BREAKING THE BANK!  Their efforts made records for the Indiana Blood Center.

For the second year, we were grateful to collaborate with the planning committee for the 500 Tribute at the Indiana State Museum.  It was another fantastic event especially given it was a tribute to the Indianapolis 500 on the 100th Anniversary Celebration.

Nate and I come from a long line of bicycling-fanatics.  In fact, our father had two major head injuries from bicycling to prove his love for the sport!  Nate was a Lance Armstrong fan before it was cool to be one.

So, it was no surprise when we met Erica and Jason a few years ago that we hit it off well.  In fact, I am not sure Nate and Jason spoke about anything relative to a wedding.  It was chains and gears only.

Considering Jason is the coach and trainer for the ‘Cutters’, Nate was thrilled at the opportunity to photograph this incredible group of cyclists at the Little 500. Like they say, “It is more than a tradition, it is an experience.”  Indeed it was this year as they battled sleeting rain and frigid temperatures.  Nonetheless, the Cutters pulled away with a big win.  As a side note, if you have never seen Breaking Away…rent it.

It is official…the BIG BLUE has updated the Indianapolis skyline in an enormous way.  This grand opening, led by Maribeth Smith & Associates, along with Lyle Gene Huddleson of Detail+Design, was nothing short of fabulous.  On a short list fabulous included:  local artisans and food manufacturers, aerial artists, acrobats on stilts cutting champagne flutes from the ceiling, Alizma (triplet violinists from Poland), branding by KB Designs, and the original-DIVA, Diana Ross.
