I want to give both a shout out and congratulations to Jordan & Chelsea Cook who were married on Saturday at the Westside Church of the Nazarene. They are a super great couple and their wedding was fantastic. Below is a quick sneak peek into their big day…

Here’s a quick look into Brock & Amanda’s engagement session held at Southeastway Park on the Southeast side of Indianapolis. I had a great time and was able to meet a Canadian-born ice hockey fan! Very cool (if you’ve been following me on Facebook or Twitter, you know I am all about ice hockey). Although a Canuck fan, it’s pretty cool to meet anyone in Indiana that is a fan of ice hockey. But for now, on to their Sneak Peek…
Today’s post is a quick look into Curtis & Danielle’s Bloomington Wedding held at Deer Park Manor. It turned out to be a beautiful, 70 degree day for an outdoor wedding. I had a great time working with them and here’s a quick look into their wedding day….
Here’s a sneak peek into Tyler & Stephanie’s Engagement Session held at Butler University & Holcomb Gardens. These two were so great to work with and I can’t wait for their March wedding to roll around. For now, enjoy this quick glimpse into their engagement…
It’s no surprise that 95% of my posts are weddings because weddings are really my niche. I do, however, do other shoots for past clients or family/friends. This one was for Charlie & Amy Dolk who I have been fortunate to work with starting with their engagement session all the way through their first newborn, Miss Carly Dolk. Here’s a quick sneak peek at their session held at a park just outside of Indianapolis. A big congrats to them on their first little one
I want to give a quick shout out to Anthony & Detaria Steele who are celebrating their 3rd wedding anniversary today! Congrats to them and here’s a quick look back at their wedding…
Today’s post is a sneak peek into Jessica Dum & Mike Mattingly’s engagement session held at Heritage Lake on the west side of Indianapolis. They were such a fun couple to work with. The weather was beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for better session. Mike & Jess are so obviously in love and had such great ideas. Their friends were generous enough to take us around the lake (so a quick shout out and thank you to Jared & Sara for doing that). I had a great time working with them, and can’t wait for their wedding in September. For now, here’s a quick look into their engagement…
Here’s a Sneak Peek of Andrew & Lindsey’s engagement session. The photos were taken at Indiana University and Musgrave Orchards in Bloomington, Indiana. It was deceptively hot this day, but we managed to get some great pictures! I’m looking forward to working with them once their wedding rolls around in October. Congrats to them and here are a few images from yesterday’s session…

This was my first shoot at Brown County State Park. As you enter the park you begin to ascend until you drive by spots where you can pull off the road and see out for miles. It is beautiful, and will be even better come Autumn. Scott proposed at one of these spots and so we decided it’d be a meaningful and fun spot to do their engagement pictures. We had to make a last-minute decision whether the rain would hold off, and with a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms, we decided to go for it. It turned out beautiful. Sunny and 65 degrees. Scott is actually a family friend of ours who grew up with my older brother. After learning he & Ashley were getting married, I was pretty excited to learn they chose me to do their photography. I had a great time working with them, and I’m even more excited to work with them when their wedding rolls around in October. Without further adieu, here is a Sneak Peek of their engagement session…

Grady, Jaime and Duke. What a tandem. I had a blast working with this couple and their most-well-behaved dog I’ve ever photographed. Despite wind gusts hitting 30 miles an hour (and at times it felt worse than that), we were able to shoot all around the heart of Downtown Indy. We met at Lucas Oil and made our way north toward Victory Field, the Canal and on over to the Circle. Below is a quick sneak peek of the session. While I could do without the winds, I had a great time working with these three.

What. A. Party. It didn’t take long for this ceremony to turn into a reception with a dance floor full of people celebrating and sharing in Brian & Cadra’s big day. Between the dance floor, bar, and photo booth, one could easily count the number of people left in their seats (on one hand!). Brian & Cadra’s wedding was held at the Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis. They are a super fun, easy-going couple and I had a blast working with them. Below is a quick sneak peek. Enjoy!

For today’s post I’d like to feature a couple who I worked with last year during their February wedding at the CLC. Melissa is well into her first pregnancy and I had to opportunity to photograph her maternity pictures. This is just a teaser from their session….enjoy!
For today’s post I want to give a big congratulations to Jordan & Katie Novick who married on this day exactly 1 year ago! Their ceremony and reception were held at Valle Vista Golf Club in Greenwood, Indiana. I knew Katie growing up and was fortunate to work with her when her big day rolled around. Here’s a glimpse back at their wedding. Enjoy and congrats to them!
Jordan & Katie Novick – April 9th, 2011
I want to give a shout out to Brian Hoffman, Cadra Catellier, and their son Liam who in exactly 30 days will be getting married at the Rathskeller in Downtown Indianapolis! They are a super, super fun couple and I’m looking forward to working with them on their wedding day! Below is a sneak peek of their engagement session we did back in the Fall of 2011 (which still feels like yesterday). Congrats to them and here’s to one more month!
I want to give a big shout out and congratulations to Eric & Kelly Taylor who were married on this day exactly 3 years ago! Their reception was held at Valle Vista Golf Club in Greenwood, Indiana. I had a blast working with them, and I am astonished it has been 3 years already. Here’s a glimpse back at their wedding. Enjoy!
Eric & Kelly Taylor – March 20th, 2009
Today’s post I would like to feature an individual, bride-to-be, and wedding coordinator that I have been fortunate enough to meet recently. Her name is Jessica Dum, and she is the founder of Jessica Dum Wedding Coordination.
For all those getting married, whether you are one of my current clients, future clients, or even just visiting the blog to get more information, I highly encourage you to check out Jessica Dum Wedding Coordination for your wedding.

She takes the stress and hassle of the day off your shoulders by providing her services on the day of your wedding to manage the events and ensure everything runs smoothly. I can’t speak highly enough about Jessica. For more information, please get in touch with her to see how she can help plan your wedding!
