Kim and Jeremy are a great couple. Together with Kim’s daughter, Kim and Jeremy have made a beautiful family. The three of them are priceless and ready for their happy ever after. So Mal and I were thrilled to photograph the starts of their new forever.

Kim planned a stunning ceremony and reception and topped the beautiful day off with creative photos on the circle and in Broad Ripple. We loved the bright colors Kim incorporated, her personal touches, and the sweet moments she shared with her family. She planned a perfect day and it was nothing short of exactly that.

Thanks to Kim and Jeremy for letting us be a part of your wedding. We adored watching the two of you together and are so thrilled for you both. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Kelly is one of my very best friends who has recently honored me by not only asking me to be one of her bridesmaids, but also to be her wedding photographer. I feel so lucky to be able to capture her day and stand next to her at the alter next September.

I obviously had a great time photographing Kelly and her amazing fiance, Louis, at their engagement session. I mean, when is it not fun to spend an entire day with your best bud? But I also really enjoyed their session because Kelly and Louis picked out great photo locations in their home town of Louisville, KY. I’ve shot in Louisville only just a hand full of times so this photo adventure was pretty new to me…and that’s something I love. New locations allow you to get inspired, find photo gems, and just enjoy yourself…and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to explore with.

Thanks to Kelly and Louis for a wonderful day in Louisville. I loved every minute of it and I can’t wait for September 21, 2013! Enjoy this sneak peek and view their full session here.

On the morning of Kim and Danny’s wedding, Dublin Ohio was still recovering from the storm that had hit the night before leaving hundreds of thousands of Ohio buildings without power. One of those buildings was Kim and Danny’s church. But in true Kim and Danny fashion, the couple stayed calm and recovered finding a new venue for their nuptials. I think that moment of their wedding day speaks so true of the character of these two. They’re so kind, relaxed, and happy that even a big wedding day hiccup couldn’t ruin their day.

Once these two found their new church, everything else fell in place. A beautiful ceremony, lovely reception details, a beautiful bride, and a dance floor that never once cleared. From top to bottom this wedding was perfect and we are so thankful we got to be a part of it. Thanks to Kim and Danny for a great day in Ohio. You guys are the best!

Jodi and Rick are a lovely, kind, and photogenic couple. Every second of working with them from our first meeting to their wedding was an absolute pleasure. They’re both so genuinely happy and gracious. Who wouldn’t want to photograph a pair who embody those characteristics?

Together Jodi and Rick planned a beautiful wedding. Their pink and green color scheme was bright and perfect for June and their downtown photo locations and Omni venue were stunning. We had such a great time at this wedding and are so thankful for the wonderful experience Jodi and Rick gave us.

While in Lexington, KY for some fun, I was also able to squeeze in some work (which also happened to be fun) by way of engagement photos for my old college roommate and her fiance. It’s always great to catch up with old friends and see where their lives have taken them. For Kaleigh, her life has taken her to Chas. This absolute beauty and her kind fiance were so fun to spend a day with. I had such a great time chatting wedding plans, hearing about their new home, and wandering around my old favorite photo locations from my college days.

It’s always great to be back in Lexington and even better to do it with some wonderful company. Thanks to Kaleigh and Chas for a great day. I can’t wait for your September wedding! Enjoy this sneak peek and view their full wedding here.

High school sweethearts, Kristina and Ryan, have been each others main squeeze for ten years. And finally, after high school, after long distance college, and now a move to Florida, these two love birds have tied the knot. Kristina and Ryan are one of the most relaxed and in-love couples I’ve ever photographed. They were amazing to work with and their adventurous spirits brought me a ton of photo inspiration.

I loved everything about this wedding. I loved the couple, the purple and blue decor, and the opportunity to work with some dear industry friends who I really respect professionally and whom also happen to be apart of Indy Soiree with us. Boldly Chic Events coordinated a flawless wedding, Design Group created stunning decor, and Interprintations gave this couples paperie chic flair. Together, every detail was perfect.

Congratulations to Kristina and Ryan. We are so thrilled for you both! Enjoy this sneak peek and view their full wedding here.

You know that phrase: Beautiful inside and out? There’s a pretty good chance that was made to describe Sarah and Michael as a couple. These two are incredible. They’re personable, joyful, and a real pleasure to be around. They’re a pair that heightens your spirits when you’re with them and honestly, I left this engagement session with about the biggest smile possible on my face.

They are two people you want to be around. So obviously, I’m practically counting down the days for their August wedding. I can’t wait to see these two get hitched…and maybe even dance a bit with them on their big day!

Over the last year we’ve been honored to see our photos in a few local publications. It’s always a thrill to see our photos in print and even more fun to see our couples come alive on the pages.

Matchbook Magazine is a darling site with everything including fashion trends, travel and culture, captivating interviews, décor, and the Arts. It’s such a fun publication!

Matchbook Magazine featured one of our favorite couples, Sarah and Chris, and their beautiful wedding. Sarah and Chris are such a sweet pair and put a lot of love and personality into their wedding. Sarah incorporated great DIY projects, vintage touches, and even some of her beloved antique trinkets. While they got hitched last fall, their wedding is one we will always remember and love.

Amanda and Matt are a one-of-a-kind couple. They are gentle and kind couple and their love for one another radiates. And because of that, we were overjoyed to photograph their wedding.

Amanda and Matt’s wedding was one of our favorites. Not only because we got to spend the day with such a great pair, but also because we got to photograph the beautiful decor from Design Group, shoot at one of our favorite venues, The Hawthorns, and we got to dance to My Yellow Rickshaw all night long. With such amazing wedding professionals and an exceptional couple, this wedding was stunning and the dance floor was packed.

Congrats to Amanda and Matt on a beautiful day and a wonderful future. Wishing you all the best. Enjoy this sneak peek and view the full wedding here.

Marie and Craig are the kind of couple that compliment each other well. She’s an organized teacher and he’s the one cracking jokes. Together they’re a well put together couple constantly laughing. So in my opinion, they’re the perfect mix.

Craig and Marie had a really beautiful wedding at the Renaissance in Carmel with touches of personality everywhere you looked. The couple served up a “Valentine” signature drink after their newly shared last name, Valentine. They also had an ode to their love for golf requesting that guests sink a putt for a kiss from the couple in lieu of the traditional clinking of the glasses. These personal touches along with their gorgeous orange and candle lit decor made their wedding an elegant and timeless affair.

Congrats to Marie and Craig on a beautiful wedding and what I know will be an even more beautiful life together.
