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!

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… :)

Kristy and CT – West Lafayette, Indiana Wedding

This wedding was so beautiful. So thought out. So personal. And so much fun! These two have great families that made their day sweet. I have so many favorites. I love capturing weddings. It was fun to capture one in our town where we new the area. Purdue University has such a beautiful and fun campus. We definitely enjoy photography in this town. We were very excited when Kristy and CT chose us as their wedding photographers. We did their engagement pictures awhile back. These two are so in love and so cute! We’re definitely fans! haha.

I love “getting ready” pictures. They might be one of my favorite parts of the day.

Kristy, you are so beautiful!

Ring bling!

She also has really HOT shoes! Looooove them!

Her dress was SO BEAUTIFUL and elegant and simple. So classy!

Grooms need to know what Bride’s go through on their wedding day:

While I was with the ladies prepping, B was with the gents. I love this picture of CT. I think one of his sisters helped him a little later.

I think the next two pictures might be two of my favorite captures of the day (thanks to Brandon). B told me that his grandma started tearing up when they were pinning on her flower. She is seriously a cool lady. Just wait until you see the rest of the pictures. You’ll know what I’m talking about. :)

I love seeing what the guys do before the ceremony starts:

I love, love, love the grooms first view of the bride…Sometimes, it makes me tear up.

Love everything about this photo.

smooch. smooch.

The Girls.

Boys.

After the ceremony, we took some photos in the Purdue Memorial Union which is a beautiful place to have a reception and get some fun photos.

My view:

I’m pretty sure Kristy and CT met at Purdue? Either way, they both graduated from Purdue and had their reception on campus.

It was fun walking around campus watching students head to their finals. And were very thankful ours were over!

Their cake was also pretty, simple, and so very elegant.

CTs Grandma caught the bouquet!

These boys fought for it. Can you guess who won?

Congrats Kristy and CT! We had a blast and were glad we could share in your special day. We hope you enjoy the photos!!

Weekend Wedding Extravaganza Sneak Peek

I am so very excited about the pictures Brandon and I took this past weekend! We had one crazy, whirl wind of a wedding filled weekend. And, it was a blast! Our weekend started out with the Friday Wedding of Kristy and CT in West Lafayette, Indiana. Followed by a Saturday (late) morning wedding of Jasher and Jenny in Raleigh/Charlotte, North Carolina.

We finished up Kristy and CTs wedding around 10 and came home and packed, backed up all the photos, and slept for about 2 hours before heading to the airport to catch our flight to Jasher and Jenny’s wedding. The timing was perfect and there were no delays at all. Both were beautiful days filled with love and good times. I think I’ve finally recovered from the lack of sleep, and now I’m enjoying editing the masses of photos that we took. B and I really are a great team. He’s the best assistant I could ask for! Enough rambling from me…Here’s a peek at our crazy filled weekend:

Kristy and CT. I must say, the Union at Purdue is a beautiful place to have a reception.

Jasher and Jenny. If you get married in North Carolina (near Raleigh), you’d be a fool not to have your photos taken in the Duke Gardens. They are BEAUTIFUL! (B and I went back on our way back to the aiport…those pictures will come much much later.)

More details to come in a couple weeks (if not sooner!)
