Wow, what a great day!

The campus at Indiana University is beautiful. The weather was fabulous and Dave and Lisa were amazing.

Courtney and Nick were married at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Shelbyville, Indiana with a reception at Indiana Downs.
The kiss! (kids don’t look)

They try to make a quick get away, they did not get very far.

I just love your veil Courtney, so simple and gorgeous.

How to make an entrance.

The father and daughter dance was a little emotional.
Courtney and Nick, I wish you both all the best.

Thank you Anne Ruthmann!

Kitty and Rick, I feel completely blessed to have been a part of your wedding day. Everything was perfect! They were married and Grace Community Church in Noblesville, Indiana with a reception at the Prairie View Golf Club.

Kitty is getting into the dress.

I just love your smile, Kitty! It is really contagious.

Rick’s reaction to seeing Kitty in her dress.

Rick’s ring was made for him out of a silver half dollar.

Very cool, you can read part of the coin on the inside of the ring.

I wish you a life together full of happiness.

Rebekah and Jonathan

I had so much fun watching you two. You are so in love that it spills out all around you and fills the whole room. I am grateful to have been a part of your wedding day.

Thank You Galleria Studios

Kristen and Gabe engagement session

This shoot was tricky to schedule. We started with Saturday night, it rained. We rescheduled for Sunday afternoon, it snowed. Really? Snow? This time of the year, what’s with that? So finally Monday night we got rolling. They were so sweet and happy it was a pleasure. The wedding will be in Texas and I am sure it will be beautiful.

Kristen just has such a contagious smile.

There is that smile again.

With slow shutter speeds you really get the feeling of movement.

I used my camera to create the blur, not photoshop. I did not use photoshop with any of the images from this shoot. I am all for using photoshop when you need to, but sometimes you can get the look you are after using the camera.

Anyone want a photographer in your armpit?I used slow shutter speeds often during this shoot. I just love motion blur.

Off camera flash rocks.

Where do I get the textures?

admin — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 15:02:00 +0000

Well, I am glad you asked. Some of them are my own; I love shooting them.
I also use some from tofurious. The textures they have really rock! They work really well for the look I am going for. Check it out.

Texture

admin — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:32:00 +0000

I love textures! Sometimes I add texture, sometimes it is already there. Texture is everywhere in weddings; the flowers, fabrics, lace, ribbons and environments.

This is one of my favorites. A friend on flickr said if it were of her she would have a huge canvas of it. I love it.

I loved this one before I added the texture to it and it is not really about the texture. I love the tenderness of the bride and her father and the texture makes them pop.

Are you really going to post that one again? Why yes, yes I am. It is one of my favorites and this time it is shown with texture and no writing on it.

Color can be textural.

Black and white can also be textural.

Flowers, lace and beading have fabulous texture.

Light can definitely add texture.

It’s all about texture added or real.

What your wedding album might look like

admin — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:41:00 +0000

Maybe I am a little bit obsessed with albums, but I thought you might like to see them. I get so excited when the man in brown backs down my driveway. Packages are fun, especially when I get to let a bride know her album is here. I love the leather, the details on the spine, and the slightly rounded edges of these albums. The leather choices I have are amazing! I love the simplicity of these. There are other options available and I enjoy those as well, but sometimes simplicity reigns.

This is a fabulous album bathed in black licorice.

I love the texture of the leather.

The spine of a 60 pager.

This is a giant swiss chocolate album of yumminess.

Ignore the fruit and have some chocolate.
