We were pleased to discover theknot decided to highlight Sara and Paul’s wedding on their ‘Real Weddings’ section of the resourceful-rich site.  Congratulations to all that were involved in their planning process, including:  Sara herself, Vanessa Chavez at the IMA, Nancy Landman of Great Cooks, Chris Prange of Dream Wedding Florals, the Flip Miller Band, and JS Marten Jewelers.  Thanks to theknot!

That time of year is quickly creeping up on us…holiday card time!  If you are interested in having any printed, PLEASE contact us soon.  Deadlines for all holiday card orders is Friday, December 5th.  We have attached just a few of our samples below.

We had the opportunity to photograph the Stadium Director, Mike Fox, of the new Lucas Oil Stadium.  It is fabulous! For all of you Colts fans, here is a peak at the new stadium.  Go Blue!

We really enjoy the team at Bliss Boutique. We were pleased when the owner, Tracy, asked us to photograph some images of the team and the boutique for their new web site. They are a warm and knowledgeable group of women that truly help a bride find the perfect gown. Abby Prather was responsible for providing the glamorous makeup. Enjoy!

Walking into Robert Goodman Jewelers along Main Street in Zionsville, Indiana is kind of like stepping back in time. By viewing the formal portraits along the wall, you can tell there is a long history of jewelers who have descended from this family. But it is the personal attention, first name recall, and the unique collections of jewelery that make it so special. There is also no such thing as hard sell. We enjoyed taking several images for their new web site.  Enjoy!

YEAH! We have updated our web site. Our branding has remained intact, however we are excited about the fresh look and changes. Check it out!

A huge THANKS to our web designer, Mike Barron.

As you may know, Nate and I like to begin and end our peak photography season with something a bit wild, wacky, and creative. We think it puts nice ‘bookends’ on each year. Last year, we began with the ‘Sexy Shoot‘ and concluded a very busy year with the ‘Trash the Dress‘.

So we got our thinking caps on, collaborated with Allure Salon and came up with a fabulous idea…Anti-Prom (otherwise known as Punk Prom). We have enjoyed working with seniors this past year so much that we thought it would be a blast to totally take them out of their element…wild, crazy, punked out hair and makeup to match. We were thrilled with the results of the looks we achieved.

We are most thankful for the participation of Melissa Ingersoll’s team at Allure Salon. They have recently opened an awesome salon off of 106th Street and Michigan Road. It was a perfect place to begin a perfect day.

And finally…thanks especially to our Punk Divas - Cortney, Danielle, Eva, Paige, and Sophie (and of course, their parents for their consent) for rockin’ it. You gals were clearly a blast to work with and we appreciate your willingness to act a different part for a day. Best wishes to you as you enter college in the Fall. Enjoy!

Nate and I participated in our first bridal show this past weekend in Zionsville. We actually had a great time…it was enjoyable meeting several 2009 brides and local vendors.

A couple we were particularly excited to meet just entered into the wedding and event business. If you are looking for a FABULOUS idea for guest gifts…THIS IS IT! We have only seen one of our clients offer this at their wedding..it was several years ago…and they had to drag the thing down from Chicago. Check out our photo booth images below, and then check out Indy Photo Booth. You can have the center of the image customized to your wedding colors and/or theme. Ask for Beth or Dave…they are great. P.S. Nate and I are a little goofy at times.

We are suckers for unique locations, especially if we can photograph there. So…we have two new rehearsal dinner spots (also locations for smaller weddings) that we have to share…Trader’s Point Creamery and The Sanctuary. Both are completely different from each other but beautiful.

Trader’s Point Creamery makes us feel like we are far from home yet in reality only a few miles away. It is a working organic farm with rolling hills and dirt roads. It has rustic barns they can be magically turned into magnificent venues for events, and a backdrop that makes us so grateful that we reside in the Midwest. Contact Gail if you are interested in a tour. She will talk your ear off…and she is super cool with awesome ideas.

The Sanctuary is a blessing to Zionsville. Nancy Noel, a famous artist, transitioned the old Methodist Church into literally her sanctuary of art. You need no decorations for you are surrounded by her amazing work with enormous windows that let warm light into the room. They have an enormous wood carved bar that was imported from Italy, and use only porcelain, silver, and linen. It is a spot to visit…even if only for High Tea.
