Wow! Meg and Luke are the best. They were the easiest, sweetest, most in-love couple to work with and they hosted one beautiful wedding! Meg’s bright pink and blue colors really popped in the stunning Omni Severin ballroom, their Girl Scout cookie bar was a hit and something I was looking forward to for months, and their dance floor was completely packed from the first song all the way to the last.

And on top of all of that, Meg and Luke put together a vendor team of my very favorite wedding professionals. My office-mate and the very talented wedding planner, Boldly Chic Events, helped Meg and Luke’s vision go off without a hitch, Interprintations designed paperie pieces that were perfect with pops of color and elegant flair and the Omni Severin delivered only the best service, catering to every need and moment of this wonderful couple and their guests.

This was a wedding that was a pleasure to photograph on so many levels and I’m extremely excited to share some images from such a beautiful day. Enjoy!

Krysta and Remy had a gorgeous Indiana Roof Ballroom wedding. And while the weather outdoors may not have cooperated for many photos, inside The Roof was stunning and the perfect backdrop for some pretty pictures. Krysta put together a wedding day that was beautiful with luxurious slate grey linens and pretty pink accents. The lighting in the room was so special and their cupcake table was a hit.

Krysta and Remy have been the sweetest couple to work with. They’ve been kind every single step of the way and I just couldn’t wish a better couple a happily forever after. Congrats to Krysta and Remy! Enjoy this sneak peek.

I had a great time photographing Sara and Doug’s engagement session. We chatted throughout Noblesville as we soaked up some long sought-after sun. The only thing better than some overdue sunshine was these two. They’re just so great! They’re sweet and patient and so fun. I can’t wait for their wedding this year and can’t wait to capture some more special moments for them.

2014 has already been a really exciting year of fun projects around here but the cutest project by far was for Wildly Co. Wildly is a family owned business with rad clothes for rad kids. Their basic T’s are perfect for any kid with a wild side and they will quickly be loved by so, so many.

Wildly Co. launched today and it was a real thrill to see their beautiful website showcasing my photos. The shoot for this site was a blast with cute kids, great clothes and the Frozen soundtrack. And the product of that photo shoot is something that I’m really, really proud of a super thankful to be a part of.

I hope you all love these photos but mostly, I hope that you’ll take some time to head over to Wildly Co. to see what a tried and true, good to the bone family business can do. And maybe while you’re there, you’ll find some wildly great clothes for your wildly great kids.

Meghan and Kevin had a beautiful wedding day. I loved the pairing of their jewel toned color palate with the raw elements of the Mill Top, their incredibly sweet bridal party, and their personal touches. Every piece of their wedding was stunning, but my favorite part of their entire day was their ceremony. Easily one of my favorites I’ve seen, their ceremony was personal and beautiful. Meghan and Kevin’s officiant did an amazing job sharing their sweet words towards one another and I loved every minute.

Meghan and Kevin are just the greatest couple and I am so grateful that I was able to capture so many of their special moments. Wishing you both all the best!

 

I’ve been excited for Megan and Tyler’s wedding since the minute I met Megan. She is so creative and I just can’t wait to see what she does for her winter wedding. In the mean time though, I got to enjoy her company along with her fiance, Tyler, for their engagement session. I had a wonderful time photographing these two throughout downtown Noblesville. They are a truly kind couple and now, even more than before, I can’t wait for their beautiful wedding. Enjoy this sneak peek.

Wow! What a beautiful day for Christine and Michael. I couldn’t have been happier to photograph this happy couple at one of my very favorite Indianapolis venues, the Omni Severin. Christine and Michael had a beautiful day from top to bottom with great moments with family and friends and a gorgeous reception to celebrate their happy “I Do’s.” Their bright pops of purple made their wedding a show-stopper.

Huge thanks to Christine and Michael for letting me capture your wonderful moments. Wishing you both all the best! And big thanks to Rebecca for providing the great groomsman photo below.

In 2014, my mini sessions will be photographed with a purpose: To help raise funds and awareness for people who need it. Together this year, we’ll donate $15 for each photographed session to three deserving organizations that have become greatly significant in my life, each for a special reason and each with a special story. Over the year, I hope you’ll enjoy not only receiving gorgeous photos of your family, but also seeing a peek into my life as I share three of my very biggest charitable passions.

My first Mini for a Purpose is in honor of my mom, who my son lovingly calls Mini. She is tiny but full of giant love. She is faithful and beautiful, loved by every single person who has ever met her, a school nurse, wife, mother, sister and grandmother. She is so many things way before she is a breast cancer patient. But she is a cancer patient and one who is fiercely brave and well on her way to a cure. On Friday we toasted to her final chemotherapy treatment and are looking forward to celebrating her great health at the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure in April.

So it is with a huge, happy heart that I will be photographing my first Mini for a Purpose for my mom and so many other women who need the same healing research, doctors and care that my she had. With each session photographed, I will donate $15 to my Race For The Cure team.

Kim and John had the most beautiful winter wedding. Their soft and romantic color palette paired perfectly with the snowy Indiana February and every detail of their wedding was just as sweet as the high school sweethearts themselves. Their Omni reception was filled with odes to Kim’s South Carolina roots and their personal touches pulled their wedding together with southern charm. With the help of My Yellow Rickshaw and some glow sticks, Kim and John’s wedding ended perfectly with a full dance floor.

Kim and John’s entire day was a true celebration of them. Every minute and every detail was joyful in their honor. Thanks to Kim and John for letting me capture so many beautiful moments. Wishing you all the best. Enjoy this sneak peek.

 

 

In a year when Indy has seen 50+ inches of snow, photos in it are nearly inevitable. And because I love the snow, I’m more than fine with it. It’s always a fun session for me when I have clients who are adventurous enough for some chilly photos.

Emily and Brad are just that couple. They braved what seemed to be at least a foot of snow, found themselves on some questionable ice, and did it all with a smile. These two are great. Their session was a blast and I can’t wait for their wedding. Thanks to Emily and Brad for a great time! Enjoy this sneak peek.
