Curt and Vanessa

These two are really good friends of ours. We enjoyed being a part of their wedding day! They are crazy and super creative. Vanessa made her bridesmaid’s bouquets (gorgeous and soo unique and cool). She also made her veil! She looked so stunning. After their ceremony in Chicago, we met them in downtown Lafayette for some fun. :)

I told you they were crazy…and fun…

Where have I been

And check out these beautiful people!

I have been a major blog slacker, but I promise that a) I have been photographing beautiful people, and I’m excited to post some of these adventures and b) I’ve been using my time wisely (studying, working, etc. etc. etc.). School started this past week. Last week I went to Mississippi for my job at school. So, this week was catch up and do homework week. I’m recovering today!

Now on to Andy and Lauren. These two are so awesome! They are so nice and had such a beautiful fun wedding! I really enjoyed getting to know them and photographing them. They’ve been married for a little over a month now!

Midwest Heat

Pooja and her husband are going to be married in India in December. When we took their photos it was one of those crazy, hot Midwest days right at 8 a.m…We still had a blast and tried to stay in the shade as much as possible!

Christian and Megan (and one cute puppy!)

Christian is in my same master’s program at Purdue…and we did the same undergrad degree as well. We had a class together last semester and became friends. We’re looking forward to their wedding this fall too!! Check our their cute puppy too! :)

Chris and Sabrina

I know. I know. They got married over a month ago, and I’m JUST NOW posting their photos to my blog….What can I say..It’s been a crazy, fun summer. Rest assured, they got their photos a few weeks back. :) Now on the beauty…

Details. Details. Details. I love shoes.

Future grooms, take note. Chris sent Sabrina roses every so often (delivered by a groomsmen). It was super sweet.

Sabrina’s sister does hair out of her home. She was a major trooper and did the entire bridal party’s AND the bride’s hair before the wedding. Did I mention she’s expecting their second baby?? Anyway, if any other ladies are looking for an awesome hair stylist (who can travel to your prep location), send me a message, and I’ll get you her digits.

The beautiful bride.

The rings…

The Flying V…It’s one of our favorites…

Pretty, pretty skies…

The coolest first dance ever….. (click here if you’d like to see it!)

Congrats to Chris and Sabrina! I know they’re enjoying married life and had a LOVELY honeymoon to Hawaii.

The First Look

We recently photographed the wedding of Chris and Sabrina, and it was a blast!! It was my first wedding with a “first look” photo, and I have to tell you. It was awesome!!

Chris waited outside for Sabrina and they had a few sweet moments together before their day started. It totally relaxed the moods and settled the nerves!

I am fairly confident this is when he said, “You look hot!”..and she diiiid!

Congrats Chris and Sabrina!! Just wait for their full blog post :)

Ben & Stephanie

In June we traveled to St. Louis for the beautiful wedding of Ben and Stephanie! It was soooo much fun. They had a ton of time between the ceremony and reception which left us with ample time to take tons of photos. They had what I call the photographers dream ceremony location. There were so many windows!! It was definitely a beautiful day (despite the ridiculous humidity!).

Stephanie’s brother married them. I thought that was so cool and special. He had randomly gotten the license to marry people several years ago thinking he’d never use it…Little did he know!

Stephanie ordered flowers in bulk and made her own bouquet (and the bridesmaids). They were beautiful!

Jamie was one of the best Maid of Honors I have seen…

Congrats Ben & Stephanie! I hope you are fully enjoying married life.

Curt + Vanessa

So, you may have seen these two already because I got so excited and ended up posting all of their images on facebook! I was just so in love with this session. The location, the love, the fun. Curt and Vanessa are friends of ours, and we really enjoyed taking their photos!! They are getting married and the end of the summer. We’re definitely looking forward to their big day! In the mean time, enjoy this incredibly long post if you haven’t seen their facebook album yet.

Remember this garage?? It gets lots of good use from me during engagement sessions… :)

Lauren & Andy – Engagment Session

Lauren and Andy are getting married this summer, and we’re so excited!! We had an e-session before all the snow melted last weekend! It was fun (and a little chilly), but definitely worth it.

You both have beautiful eyes!!

And our favorite picture from the day (courtesy of Brandon!)

We ended on a good note with a fun little snowball fight! haha

Workin my magic (and being in Brandon’s way):

This is Brandon telling me to take pictures of them not him….hah..I like it.

And the one below is us being ridiculous…We felt like the paparazzi following them through the park…So Brandon pretended to hide behind a tree and take their photo…We’re dorks!
