John & Abby | Nashville Wedding

Ok, so it was about 158 degrees in the shade…but, it was also PERFECT! John and Abby were married at the gorgeous T. C. Steele State Historical Site in Nashville, Indiana! It was the home and studio of Indiana artist Theodore Clement Steele…it was so beautiful!! Their reception was in the Tudor Room at the Indiana Memorial Union in Bloomington, Indiana. John and Abby’s entire wedding day was so cool and unique! Parts of their ceremony were so unbelievably beautiful…there really are no words to describe them! So, enough words…here you go!

Trevor & Erica | Indianapolis Wedding

Where do I begin?!?! I had a feeling that this one was going to absolutely rock…I was right! After spending some time with Trevor and Erica during their engagement session, I knew I was going to have a great day with them! I’m actually going to do a post soon about all the things that these two did right on their wedding day…I’m sure it will help many of you who are in the planning stages of your own wedding! They had their ceremony and reception at the Eiteljorg Museum on the canal in downtown Indianapolis. The timeline we had to work with was absolutely spectacular…I had two full hours with just the bride and groom and an hour and a half with the wedding party…are you kidding me?!?! And everyone was on time and on schedule…it all led to the perfect storm of wedding photography! ;) Ok, enough blabbing…on to the shots!

Shannon & Kara | Anderson Wedding

I absolutely LOVE shooting weddings of friends or family members that have been in weddings that I’ve shot before!! Kara is Keli’s sister (who’s wedding I shot last October) and was also her Maid of Honor so, I knew I was going to have a great time shooting this wedding! Shannon and Kara had their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Anderson Center for the Arts a few weeks ago. It is so cool as a photographer, to go into a wedding and already know a bunch of the people involved…very relaxing!!! Ok, let me get you right to the pics! Here are a few of my faves!
