Kami and Brandon are Tennessee natives who exchanged vows on June 6 in Indianapolis.  Their reception was at Southern Dunes and it was a gorgeous night.  Some of you might remember it as the calm before the major storms that hit Indy.

Kami had AMAZING shoes. 

See?

I absolutely LOVE her ring.  It is gorgeous.

Amazing window light...

The handsome groom.

The happy couple!!!

So so so so sweet.

Love it!

Light like this is every photographer's dream.

This was shot just minutes after the above photo.

First dance...

Ok, this is one of the coolest cakes EVER!!!

Heh.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!!!

 

I had good intentions.  I wanted to fill my blog with recent wedding awesomeness this past week.  Really, I did.  It just didn't happen because I have been super busy shooting, shooting, shooting.  I need 7 more of myself -- then I'd be able to keep up!  Next month will be better, I promise!!!

I am making it my mission to blog at least one wedding by the end of the week.  If I don't do it, the first person to email me and let me know that I failed miserably wins a complimentary photo session in the central Indianapolis area.

Little miss Izzy is 3 months old and totally adorable.  See for yourself!!!  Matt and Sarah -- you two are awesome parents!  Congrats on the birth of your little one.  

 

Izzy -  3 months

Kami + Brandon - I do

Heather + Andy - I do

Amy + Andy - Engaged

Lizzee + Kyle - Just because

Kyle + David - I do

Serra - Oh baby! 

Here is a sneak peek from a fabulous maternity session this weekend.  GORGEOUS!!!!!!

 

Leo Tolstoy got it right when he said "If you want to be happy, be." 

Life is so wonderful and I cannot stop smiling!!!

If you are waiting for your session to be blogged, I promise it is coming soon.  Stay tuned!

Nicole and Brian quickly informed me that they were newbies to being photographed.  Hmmmmm...I think that was all an act because these two did great! 

One of my favorites of the day... 

Gotta love downtown Indy!  We totally took over the fountain after a bride and groom were done here.

Guilty as charged...another hand holding shot!

The ivy reminded Brian of Wrigley Field.  Go Cubs!!!

Holy cow, I LOVE the way they are looking at each other!

I saved the best for last.  I totally found the yummy light.  My FAVORITE of the day!!!

Congrats on your engagement, Nicole and Brian!  I can't wait for the wedding this August! 

"A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life."  -Hugh Sidey

When I think of Heather, I think of a beautiful woman with a kind heart and an awesome sense of humor.  When I think about Brad, I think of a sweet guy who compliments Heather perfectly.  The love between Heather and Brad is so evident but I don't want to give away their sweet story just yet.  You'll have to wait for their main event -- the wedding -- in August! 

Here I go again with my classic shot.  I love the colors and textures here. 

Why am I so predictable?!?!  I just could not resist shooting her sassy red shoes.  I want them!!!  If this were my engagement session, this is the photo I would select to blow up and put on a metallic canvas.  

Check out the gorgeous light!

Aww.

We totally trespassed to take advantage of this amazing light.  Yummmy, I love me some flare!

Aren't they cute?

Told ya -- completely adorable.

I found more amazing light!

Heather and Brad, I am looking forward to the wedding in August!  It's going to be AMAZING!

I will be out of the office this week.  If you need to reach me, email is probably best, as I will be checking email in the evenings.  

If you are waiting on prints and/or albums, I expect all orders to be in this week and I will ship them to you when I return to the office.

I have some really great blog posts coming your way soon, so keep checking back!

Thank you all for being so wonderful!!!  I could not do this without all of my totally awesome clients and friends! 

I first met Heather and Clinton at a Starbucks on the NE side of Indianapolis.  Football season was winding down (or heating up -- depending on how you look at it) and we chatted about the Colts, Patriots, and Bears (hey, I'm a Chicago girl!). I knew right away I liked these two.  Heather is feisty and strong but also very sweet.  I could just feel how much Clinton loves her. Heather and Clinton were married on May 24, 2008 at Purdue University.  Everything about the day was gorgeous.

Heather handmade the programs.  Aren't they awesome?!?! 

Ahhhhh, are you kidding me with the eyelashes?  I know -- I always say that.  I can't help it.  I'm just jealous of people with amazing eyelashes!!!

She dyed her slip hot pink over spring break.

A little bling never hurt anyone...

I wasn't lying in my earlier post when I said she was GORGEOUS!

See?  Stunning. 

The flower girl wasn't interested in photos so I had to let her do her own thing and catch her off guard.  

Meet the handsome groom.  You don't even want to know what I had to say to get that laugh out of him!  

Did I mention that my friend Jake Gardner helped me shoot this wedding?  I asked him to shoot with me because he graduated from Purdue and is familiar with the campus.  He caught this shot of the Bell Tower.  

Heather's bouquet with my urban twist.

And another...

Jake caught this one as well.  LOVE IT!

Mr. and Mrs. Flynn!!!

Heather painted the runner herself.  Isn't she crafty?!  Jake's shot...

This kid hammed it up all day!

My view...

Jake's view...

Hehehe...and here's Jake getting the photo above.  Hot!

One of my favorites of the day. 

Love it.

Jake caught this one.  We still fight over who found the wall.  It was definitely me.  The cool thing is that Heather and Clint walked out to this Beatles song!

Classic Lindsay Wilson wedding shot...

 

I can't help it! 

The Bell Tower is a special place for them.

 

Heather, could you be any more beautiful?

Don't judge me.  You all know I like shoe shots...(and you like them too)!!!!

Heather and Clinton, thank you so much for having us at your wedding!!!  We had a blast -- you guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!   

This photo just screams happiness.  I had the pleasure of photographing my beautiful sister and her kick ass boyfriend of two years while they were in Indy for a quick visit.

Sis, I love you, and I am so happy for you and Kyle.

The light after the rain was soft and golden -- my favorite.
