Meghan is the little sister of an old friend of mine. It has been years, so many years, since I’ve seen her. Since then, things have happened. Jr High graduations, high school graduations, college, engagements. So when we circled back around and she walked into my office as a beautiful college graduate with a wonderful fiance by her side, I was thrilled to see how her life has progressed. She’s just as lovely as I remember, sweet and gentle, and completely in love with her fiance, Kevin. I’m so thrilled to be photographing Meghan and Kevin’s wedding. As I shot their engagement session at Purdue, I just kept thinking how amazing life is. And how amazing this job is that it allows me to circle back around and now capture important moments in Meghan’s life.

Enjoy this sneak peek of Meghan and Kevin’s engagement session.

 

 

Suzette and Kevin are the best. Adorable. Friendly. I can’t wait for their wedding.

This is the second time I’ve photographed Suzette and Kevin. The first was in the winter for a mini Save the Date session. I loved that session, even though it was cold, because these two are so wonderful. But this time around, we photographed their session in the evening with beautiful light and incredible weather surrounded by stunning scenery. Plus, they were once again, wonderful. It was a gorgeous day and I loved every minute of it.

Thanks to Suzette and Kevin for another great day. Enjoy this sneak peek.

Clare and Matt are just about the sweetest couple. I loved spending a day with them, photographing their wedding, and watching them love on each other. They filled their happy day with lovely toasts, sweet moments, gorgeous bouquets, a beautiful ceremony and reception at The Ritz, lots of family, and fun with their friendly bridal party.

Congratulations to Clare and Matt on a beautiful wedding and a even better marriage. Wishing you all the best. Enjoy this sneak peek.

Thanks to Jill Reid from Raindancer Studios for second shooting this wedding and providing the great photos of the groomsmen below.

 

Kayla and Ian are a blast. They’re funny, lively, and boy do they love Purdue. So we went back to their old stomping grounds to take some pictures at a few of their favorite places: The Bell Tower, their Greek houses, The Union, and Harry’s.

I always enjoy seeing the places my clients love the most. And photographing them in their element is extra fun. Thanks to Kayla and Ian for a great day at Purdue. Enjoy this sneak peek.

Last year we photographed pretty rustic details, barn beauty, and gorgeous sweets at Mustard Seed Gardens for a styled shoot planned by our very favorite wedding vendor and office-mate, Boldly Chic Events.

Christine and Michael are getting married at the Omni and were excited to head to their beloved venue for some engagement photos. As it happens to be, I love the Omni, so I was thrilled to snap some pictures in their restaurant and also around the hotel before heading to the IMA.

Christine and Michael are a great couple. They’re so friendly and positive and despite a little rain, were huge troopers and continued to smile for some pretty pictures. Thanks to Christine and Michael for a great day. I can’t wait for your wedding! Enjoy this sneak peek.

Lynn and Kyle are a fun and friendly couple who already have me so excited for their wedding. For their engagement session we walked through Broad Ripple finding colorful inspiration to photograph, chatting along the way. These two are great. So sweet to each other, so fun to be around, just great. Thanks to Lynn and Kyle for a great day of photos. I can’t wait for your pretty December Wedding.

Enjoy this sneak peek.

Courtney and Justin are getting hitched in Indy, but they’re loving life living in Chicago. So I went to the Windy City to photograph their engagement session in the city they now call home. I really enjoyed a few hours with these two walking around Chicago, seeing the amazing sky-line, and getting to know the both of them. Courtney and Justin are an amazing couple-friendly and sweet- and I cannot wait for their wedding.

Enjoy this sneak peek of Courtney and Justin’s engagement session.

Krysta and Remy met at Brothers at Purdue. So it was fitting that I met these two right at the spot where their eyes first locked for their engagement photos. I really enjoyed spending a day with this incredible couple at places they love on Purdue’s campus. It’s always fun to travel to my clients favorite spots and I really think the pictures are incredible when people surround themselves in places they enjoy, are comfortable in, and cherish.

Thanks to Krysta and Remy for a great day of photos and a great Purdue tour. You guys are the best and I enjoyed every single second.
