lindsey + sean: married

Not even Hurricane Ike could stop the gorgeous wedding of Lindsey & Sean from happening in Bloomington, Indiana this weekend. After pouring cats and dogs all day Friday and the rehearsal, the skies dried up and while it was hot, the day was a gorgeous one for their intimate wedding and reception at The Fields. It was a lovely contrast to their urban engagement session which you may remember from earlier this spring.

You can see me just barely in the mirror:)



Lindsey made such a gorgeous bride.

Love this one that Scott snagged of her and Dad before her big entrance. So sweet!


The ceremony was so elegant yet rustic, perfect for early fall.

The kiss! They apparently remembered the "almost kiss" technique from the e-session :)

It's official!

The bridal party thought I was a little nuts for this shot, but hopefully it was worth it???




Gotta love those Palladian windows! Doesn't Lindsey look gorgeous when she laughs?

The Best Man was such a big fan Lindsey & Sean, and he gave a very funny, sweet toast.



The happy family!

My favorite bouquet toss shot EVER. Go Girl!

Congratulations, you two!!! You make an amazing couple. Thanks for letting me be a part of your wonderful day!

laura + john: married

What a GORGEOUS day this past Saturday was to get married! Laura & John's morning wedding at the Church at the Crossing was so intimate, and the reception in the Crystal Terrace at the Columbia Club was stunningly beautiful in the daylight. Jim Cerone was the Master of Ceremonies...what a fabulous gentleman and host. Highly recommended!

It was an honor to be a part of Laura & John's joyous day together, you two are blessed with such a wonderful, loving family! Enjoy the sneak peek and if you did, let me know! I love comments!!! :)





It's official! (I'm still in disbelief that the weather was so mild and beautiful...ahhh!)

shilpa + aaron: engaged

On one of the hottest days of the summer so far, Shilpa and Aaron braved the humid temps (at 7:30 am) to create some heat of their own!

Their wedding this fall in Merrillville is going to be amazing, I cannot wait!

Thankfully the morning light paid off, and there was a nice patch of fog over the White River as we started.


Shilpa has such an amazing smile, her whole face just lights up.


The light was changing really fast so we grabbed some city skyline shots.


Then over to the canal, Shilpa found this hidden spot (top secret!) for some amazing shots. I just love how these turned out!



And finally, my favorite shot of the whole day. So romantic and fun. Thanks for requesting this one, Shilpa! You guys were such troopers!

cindy + marc : married

Boy, I have some catching up to do! Here's a peek of some photos from Cindy & Marc's Indianapolis reception at the Columbia Club June 22, 2008. Cindy and I met when I was setting up for Amanda & Mike's ceremony in the lobby. She happened to be shopping for a venue for her reception. We got to chatting and I learned that she and Marc lived in NYC, and were going to have a very intimate candle-lit ceremony there, but that Marc's family was from Indiana so they were going to have a reception in Indy, as well.

I was so thrilled that we ended up working together! Cindy looked stunning in her avant-garde couture gown!


The great thing about the Columbia Club is the front door access to the Soldiers and Sailors monument. Very "Indy" for them to remember their reception by!


And now...my favorite cake shot ever!


Ok, two shots! (heck, I'm going to go all out on the detail shots in this one, so fair warning!)


The flowers and food were all so beautifully presented, I had a hard time not snapping them all night!



See, I told you the food looked good!


My favorite candid of the day:


And the Columbia Club traditional champagne cork-popping toast:



Love Cindy's expression in this one!


At the end, one of the guests gave a rousing, emotional rendition of "Back Home Again in Indiana"...that song has never brought me to tears before! But then again, I've never heard it played on Hoagie Carmichael's piano, either!


These two were such a neat couple, I felt honored to capture their encore celebration! Congratulations you two!

I'm an aunt (again!).

The amazing Jessica and my brother Tom welcomed gorgeous little Liam Thomas into the world this morning. Born at 7:44 am, he weighed 7 lbs and 4 oz. I am so excited! Harry is absolutely surrounded by little girls in our family, so I'm so thrilled he'll have a little boy to play with! Welcome little Liam, from your aunt Lynne!
