Boudoir Mini-Sessions

It looks like we are getting closer to setting up some Boudoir mini-sessions in the very near future.  I am hoping to get something in the first few weekends of November.  I want to be able to have photos ready to give to that special someone for Christmas.
Lynette Weber Photography will be assisting with this mini-session.  We have already found a make-up and hair stylist, I am in contact with some creative ladies for hair pieces and jewelry, all I need now is a location!  I have five places that I am going to be meeting with over the next two weeks.  Once we have the place pinned down, we will be set to go!
I am very excited to be able to offer this opportunity to you all.  I know that the mention of it got a great response.
I am looking forward to setting up more mini-sessions in the future!

Heather & Dennis....Married!

Congratulations to Heather & Dennis Monroe.  They exchanged vows on June 4th, 2011 at Blu Falls Arts & Events Center in Pendleton, IN.  We had the pleasure of photographing and DJing this event.  We even provided the music for the outdoor ceremony.  Both the ceremony and reception were held at Blu Falls.

We began in the bridal suite.  Makeup and hair by Karen Hall & Company

We then headed outdoors for a few family photos before getting the ceremony started.

After the ceremony, we took advantage of the beautiful waterfalls that Blu Falls has on their property.

Then it was time to celebrate indoors at the reception.  Everything was beautifully decorated in the bride's choices of pink and orange.  As the event's DJ, we provided dance floor lighting in addition to great music!

DJ Jeremy even had an assistant:

Even after the storm rolled in, and the power went out, we continued to entertain the guests.  One of the guests lived close by and had a generator that he brought out to keep the music and lights going.  The rest of the building was lit by only security lights and candles.

This was our first event with Blu Falls, and we hope that it is not our last.  It is a beautiful location, both indoors and out.  And the staff is fabulous!

Congratulations Heather & Dennis Monroe!

Back to blogging!

Ok, so it has been awhile since we have updated our blog.  I won't use any excuses.....I am just going to get back into it!
Hope you all have been having a wonderful summer so far.  The weather has been fantastic here lately, and we have been having some family fun!  We just took the kiddos to Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay in Ohio last week while visiting Brian's family.  The weather didn't cooperate fully for Put-In-Bay, but it was nice for the most part.  We had fabulous weather for Cedar Point.



There are some big plans currently in the works this summer.  I am partnering up with Lynette Weber Photography to do a Boudoir Mini-Session day at a local luxury hotel.  We are getting hair and makeup artists set up to be on hand for any girls that may be interested as well.  More details to come soon.

I have set up new office hours.  Our office is closed on Monday and Tuesday.  Yes, I know I work from home, but I also have a part time job that I just can't leave!  I work at a local Veterinarian office as a part time receptionist.  I am, however, available the rest of the week.  The office is open for appointments Wednesday through Sunday.  Hours are by appointment only since we do work from home.  Consultations can be set up at any local Starbucks, Panera Bread, or Qdoba Mexican Grill.  We can come to you!  Photo sessions are on location only.  I do have a portable studio that can be set up in your living room, if you prefer indoor photos.  I also have a zoo membership that allows me to bring two guests!  So, if you want outdoor photos, but it looks like the weather won't cooperate, let's go to White River Gardens in the conservatory!  Locations that are more than 20 miles outside of Avon, IN will require travel fees.

I am looking forward to more weddings, and more photo shoots!  Give me a call, shoot me an email, or even send me a text if you have any questions, or are ready to set up your consultation!

Amanda & Matt are married!

On Novemeber 7th, Brian and I traveled to Madison, IN for the wedding of Amanda & Matt. The ceremony was held in a beautiful church in town. Surrounded by stained glass windows, they exchanged their vows on an unseasonably warm day. After the ceremony, we headed into Clifty Falls State Park for the formal photos and reception. The reception was held inside the Clifty Inn. The location was gorgeous and we could not have asked for better weather in November in Indiana!
Congratulations Amanda & Matt.

Congratulations Andrea & Marc

The union of Andrea & Marc took place on September 19th at Prestwick Golf Club in Avon, IN. The couple exchanged their vows outdoors and then moved inside for the reception. Andrea's dress was absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations Andrea & Marc!

Jennifer & Michael....Hitched!

Jennifer and Michael have two beautiful children who shared in the big day! I also had the pleasure of photographing this couple's engagement photos and family photos.

Leslie & Amos are married!

August 29, 2009-Plainfield, IN
Leslie and Amos met in Nigeria. They have had a long, very long, distance relationship! Now, Amos is here in the states, and they are married! When Leslie first met with us, we weren't sure what the date of the wedding was going to be, but we were hoping for August 29th. The only thing that needed to be done to make that date official, was for Amos to be approved for his Fiance Visa! He was able to get everything done, and officially moved to the states in July!
Once Amos was here, I was able to do an Engagement shoot with the couple (see July archive). The love these two have for each other is obvious! We were very happy to be a part of this day for this couple. Congratulations Leslie & Amos Olajimbit!

Congratulations Jennifer & Carson McCleery!

On Saturday, July 25th, Firefighter, Carson McCleery married dance instructor, Jennifer Bowers. The couple was married at Pioneer Park in Mooresville, IN. The reception was held at the Eagles Lodge. The day started out looking pretty gloomy, but as you will see in the photos (coming soon), the sun came out bringing with it a beautiful blue sky just in time for the ceremony! The couple had a beautiful ceremony, and a great party after. Congratulations Jennifer & Carson!

Mr. & Mrs. Joey Singleton!

On July 10th, Joey and Gladys said "I do" in the Veranda at Valle Vista Golf Club. The weather was beautiful, and we even caught a lovely sunset! The reception started with the cutting of the cake. We were then all pleasantly surprised with two Polynesian dancers as a gift from the Bride to her Groom. The couple put together an "Evolution of Dance" type first dance, and threw a football with the bouquet into the crowd of singles, instead of the traditional garter removal/toss. The couple also put together their own slideshow which ended with their video interpretation of Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You", acting out each of the lines in the song.
It was a fun-filled night, that I know I will always remember! I am sure that everyone there will do the same.

Carly & Joel - June 27, 2009

We traveled up to Auburn, IN for this one. Assisting with photography was Amanda Allton, and assisting as DJ was Jeremy Allton. The ceremony was held at St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church. The ceremony did present a challenge for me as a photographer as I was not able to use flash during the service, this is a rule in the Lutheran church.
The reception was held at the Bridgewater Golf Club. This couple, and their guests, knew how to party! We had a fantastic time!
Here are a few photos:

Stephen & Alysia - June 20, 2009

Crawfordsville, IN - Wabash College Campus

Congratulations to Stephen & Alysia! Thank you so much for allowing us to play a huge part in your special day!
The ceremony was held in the chapel on campus. The reception was in the Frank Hugh Sparks Center. Though it was an extremely hot day, with no air conditioning, I think that everyone still had a great time.
I also want to thank my assistant, Amanda Roach. Amanda is learning photography, and doing a wonderful job! I look forward to working with her again in the future.
Here are a few of my favorite shots taken at this wedding:
