Tom & Melissa | Indianapolis Wedding

Posted in Weddings

Please allow me to introduce Tom and Melissa! They were married at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Indianapolis and partied the night away at their reception at The Terrace At Market Tower. I love the color there! It was such a great day…perfect weather, perfect couple, perfect guests! Since I think Melissa is staying up to check these out and I’ve taken waaaaay too long to process them, let’s get right to the shots!

Let’s kick it off with one of my favorite ring shots EVER!

Melissa!

“Sup, fool?”

Melissa to Tom. One of my favorite moments of the day!

Tom and the guys.

Indy!

Patty clicked this one…love it!

Doesn’t Tom remind you of that dude in “The Transporter” in this shot? I mean, without the flowers!

In the street!

My favorite group shot.

Bling!

Love.

This one makes me smile!

Boilermaker + Bearcat

Love this…because they are watching…

these two!

Don’t worry Tom, what happens in Indy…

I think the kids call this the “stinky leg”!

Congratulations Tom and Melissa! It was awesome sharing your day with you! You two ROCK! Talk to you soon! BTW, I’ll be in Key West in a few weeks…any good restaurant recs?

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 & 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!
