Hey friends, please welcome Matt and Rachael to the blog! They had their wedding and reception in Carmel, Indiana at Oak Hill Mansion on an another gorgeous Indiana Fall day! Here are just a few of our favorites! Enjoy!

Bling!

Rachael…getting strapped in!

Seriously, bride wearing shoes like these = photography WIN!

Matt and Rachael decided to see each other before the ceremony…another photography WIN!

The whole family!

Love!

Colors that even a colorblind photographer can love!

One of my favorite bridal shots of all time!

…or maybe this one!

Bride that sits on wooden gate = yep, another photography WIN!

This has “huge canvas print” written all over it!

My friend and awesome shooter, Shawna Schaub helped Patty and I for a few hours…this is one of MANY great shots she clicked!

Patty, you rock!

Candy bar = oh, yeah…another WIN!

Shawna, you rock!

The groom’s cake!

Matt & Melissa | Belly Shots

Posted in Belly Shots

Ok…once again, here I am shooting something that I said I don’t shoot! I loved EVERY second of it!!! It was so awesome to get to see Matt and Melissa again and such an honor to do a maternity session with them…especially since it was my first maternity session ever! You two are such wonderful people…you’re going to be such rockin’ parents! Here are a few of my faves!

LOVE.

This was my assistant, Patty’s idea…and my favorite.

Being a dad, this one is just so sweet to me.

Our Notting Hill.

Love. It.

I think this one is just so beautiful, I just had to post it!

Melissa, you are such a gorgeous mommy!

Melissa’s only request…and I’m so glad she did! I dig it!

Mommy and Daddy.

Congratulations you two! Can’t wait to see your baby girl!

Matt & Rachael | E-Session

Posted in Engagements

I love shooting engagement sessions…even if they’re at 8am! Since Matt works for Penske Racing (you might have heard about them…they WON the Indy 500!), we had a pretty tight window to fit them in…no prob., they worked it the whole time! I was also a little extra nervous on this one…Rachael is a photographer! Even though I tend to stress a little bit more about it, I really LOVE shooting other photographers! Here are a few of my faves!

First off…my favorite of the day!

Rachael’s ring…on her very first camera! Her dad gave it to her…how cool is that!

I dig how her heels are up in the air on this one! Too cute!!

Love it!

Rachael’s camera! I was going to take a shot with it, but I couldn’t figure out where to put the memory card!

Rachael’s only request!

Matt is responsible for figuring out how much fuel should go into the cars…I think he nailed it this year!

You two are such superstars!

Congratulations you two! Thank you both so much!

Matt & Melissa

Posted in Weddings

I could write an entire book about all the things I loved about Matt and Melissa’s wedding! From doing their formal photos before the ceremony (see post below!) to their abbreviated formal dances so that everyone could start dancing and having fun immediately…it was just perfect! And Melissa coordinated all of this…from another state! They held their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Omni Severin in downtown Indianapolis. Amanda and her staff do such an incredible job there! All the vendors rocked at this one…Jeremy from DJs Direct, Ryan and the guys from Magic Hour and Beth’s beautiful makeup work from Champagne and Lipstick on the girls…everything just worked! I had such a great time learning all about Matt and Melissa…maybe a little too much about Melissa during makeup time! And don’t worry girls, I won’t mention anything about midgets…oooops! Ok, enough of me reminiscing about this one…let’s get on with the shots!

Melissa’s incredible eyes!

Matt’s sooooo gonna love this one!

My assistant, Patty scored this one for me…I love it! It’s when they saw each other for the first time!

My gangstas.

The bridesmaids’ dresses were so cool…POCKETS!

I got about a half dozen different looks from Melissa on this one and I love them all!

Here’s what an E-Harmony success story looks like! And now that I think about it, I think E-Harmony might have been mentioned a few times during the evening!
