Digging up more images to post

They were married this summer and just a few days ago I posted their images on the blog,  so I realize this is late…

Another favorite engagement session this year:

How long has it been since I’ve posted an engagement session???  I’ve shot lots of fun sessions this year, I’ll try to get a few of them posted!

Meet Lauren and Tom:

Tom is a pro cyclist and races at the Velodrome so of course we had to go there for their engagement session!  After a few shots here, we ran across the street to IMA for a few more.   Check out some of my favorites:

Mavris Arts and Event Center is one of my favorite venues here in Indy, and I got to shoot Greg and Debi’s Indianapolis wedding there!

Ceremony:  Mavris

Reception:  Mavris

Shoes:  Christian Louboutin

Hair:  Studio 2000

Makeup: Nordstrom

Gown: Posie Patch

Florist: Posh Petals

Cake:  Heavenly Sweets

Debi and Greg were married right before Christmas, they had a tree set up as you came into the second floor for the reception all around were the favors,  the triangle boxes here were filled with snow and a wine bottle topper.

The Louboutin’s:

A train came along right as we were starting pictures of the two of them..

Greg wanted a picture with his brothers reminisce of that famous shot with the Kennedy brothers:

I know I already posted this shot..

This image with the entire bridal party was maybe 3 minutes after the groomsmen above…  not only that,  I think these were shot at 5 pm!!  Daylight in December…

I just posted pictures from Caitlin and John’s Chicago Wedding here, but thought this deserved it’s own post:)

The morning of the wedding they did what they called a slog… technically a slow jog, on the way to breakfast.   Everyone was supposed to wear 80′s clothes, and they danced along to an ipod.   It really was a blast!

Several months ago I shot a very fun wedding in Chicago and I never finished posting it so I thought I’d throw some of my favorites online.

Caitlin and John were married in Chicago, they had a very small intimate wedding, only inviting their closest friends and immediate family.  I loved it!  The ceremony was held a Maxim’s, and the reception on Lake Michigan on Odyssey II.

John and Caitlin wrote their own vows… well, really they did their own ceremony for the most part.  John’s dad technically officiated, but it was very personal with just Caitlin and John on stage for the majority of the ceremony.

They did a sand ceremony instead of a unity candle, and the stand had a mirror,  this image show’s John’s mom watching as he’s reading the vows.

Check out this emblem… it’s obviously not in focus… can you tell what kind of car this is

Check out the view during dinner!

Saturday I shot a wedding in Wabash Indiana,  it snowed the whole day  Not much accumulation, but it’s not very often you can get a bride out in the freezing weather!

Check these out,  this was the sky Saturday night.  We were on the tracks right behind Mavris.

Of course there’s more to come… at the rate I’m going it’ll be next spring before they’re on the blog

Two weeks ago Cara and Alex were married in the Dominican Republic  The weather… oh man, 90′s and humid, and then getting back off the plane here in Indy, cold and cloudy – yuck.

The day before the ceremony we drove to Santo Domingo for pictures, and I thought these were really cool and wanted to post them.  This is in front of the first Cathedral built in the Western Hemisphere!  They didn’t get married here, and they wouldn’t let us in with a camera (and Cara would have had to cover her shoulders?!?) but the pigeons in the square were just too cool!
