Whiteman / Nichols Wedding

June 19, 2009
Mesa, Arizona
Ceremony: Trinity Baptist Church
Reception: Marriott Hotel
Although every wedding we shoot is special and personal, Carrie and Greg’s day was an extra treat for us. I’ve known Greg’s family for many years and it was so exciting to be able to capture his marriage to Carrie. Their ceremony was full of sentiment and joy; it truly spoke of their love for each other and the Lord. Their reception was especially fun for us since we knew so many of the family and guests. Friends, laughter, love, and a dance off! What a night! Congratulations Carrie and Greg. We wish you all the best!

Christy and Kevin’s Engagement Session

Indianapolis, Indiana

Urban. Modern. Theatrical. This is what Christy and Kevin wanted in their engagement pictures- images that truly fit their artistic personalities. We set off in downtown Indy and found that when beauty meets construction it equals some pretty cool images! Skyscrapers, caution tape, a rocking fedora hat and unforgettable style! We’re looking forward to this September wedding!

Matthews / Hill Wedding

June 7, 2009

Ceremony: Ritz Charles

Reception: Ritz Charles

When Crystal and David told us they were holding their wedding and reception at the Ritz Charles, we were instantly thrilled. Not only did we know the level of service and elegance would be fantastic, but the lavish landscaping and easy charm of the property provides a breathtaking backdrop. Because we’ve shot here on several occasions, we made sure the bride and groom took full advantage of the lush tree canopies and quaint nooks. After a tastefully simple wedding in the on-grounds chapel, Crystal and David made their way to one of several ballrooms to dance the night away with friends and family. Congratulations you two- we had so much fun with you and wish you a lifetime of happiness!






































































































Houston / Pawloski Wedding

June 6, 2009

Ceremony: Indianapolis Zoo

Reception: University Place

It was a gorgeous Saturday morning when Tara and Jake tied the knot inside the stunning gardens of the Indianapolis Zoo. The post-ceremony wedding shots were a treat in the gardens where around every corner there was another picturesque scene. And then of course, there was the butterfly sanctuary! What photographer wouldn’t be in heaven with a bride and groom all in white, standing inside a beautiful glass atrium filled with colorful butterflies!? Love it! Tara and Jake, thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful day! We wish you all the best!
