Eric + Leah = Engagement

Congratulations!!! Eric and Leah, like Sarah and myself, are high school sweethearts, which in my opinion is awesome! I am thrilled to be the lucky photographer for their special day this August in Van Wert Ohio!

We did their engagement session just outside of Van Wert at Leah’s parent’s farm. The farm was a photographer’s dream complete with a decaying schoolhouse and train tracks. Just as I think it can’t get any better we are lead down to an apple orchard where we finished up the session.

Here are just a few shots of our session with Eric and Leah.

Guy + Linda = Wedding!

Speechless!
Saturday we had the honor of capturing Guy and Linda’s wedding at their beautiful home in Cromwell Indiana. Guy and Linda created a unique wedding setting that involved all of their children blending both families into one.

After the ceremony at the wooded haven behind the magnificent log home was the reception located inside of the 20,000 square foot pole barn. I really enjoyed working will all of the other wedding vendors at Guy and Linda’s wedding. All of the girl’s hair and make up was done by the talented Mary Kay consultant Angi Higginbotham and Linda Maggert at One Of A Kind Events did an amazing job at coordinating the wedding as well as transforming the pole barn into a beautiful wedding reception. The guest enjoyed live music from Rob Lisak of Green Thirteen Music while they enjoyed a meal from The Eagle’s Nest out of Columbia City. Oh, and who could forget the beautiful cake created by Carolyn Pruden of Elegant Cakes. Carolyn literally built the cake on-site! To finish the evening there was a beautiful fireworks display. It was an amazing event to attend, but an honor to photograph. Thanks again to my talented photography team Karen Fisher and Amanda for helping out at this wedding. You guys rock!

Guy + Linda: Wedding Sneak Peek

Whew! What a day! After such an amazing wedding event I can’t wait to share some of the images from Guy and Linda’s wedding. For now I wanted to share a shot from the day to give you a taste of what is to come.

Happy Sunday!

Patrick + Elizabeth: Wedding

The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful for the wedding Patrick and Elizabeth yesterday. Although the wind was strong and chilly in the morning, the afternoon turned out beautifully.

Patrick met Elizabeth while attending Purdue University. They both eventually moved to one of my favorite cities, Dallas! The ceremony was held at Blackhawk Ministries Church followed by another fabulous event put on at the Summit Club downtown Fort Wayne. The view from the 25th floor has always been breathtaking, but now we have Parkview Field to thank for adding another piece to the downtown view.

Because Sarah is officially on maternity leave from wedding photography, I brought in a couple of great photographers to fill her shoes. We had a good friend Amanda who through out the day surprised me with her photography talent. At the reception, we were joined by one of Fort Wayne’s best family portrait photographers, Karen Fisher. Both of these talented photographers will be joining me next weekend for wonderful outdoor wedding just a little north of Fort Wayne.

Linda + Guy: Engagement Part 2

He owns a dentist practice, she does his marketing and on what was supposed to be a business trip to the Bahamas turned out to be their engagement celebration. A couple of weeks ago we drove up to Pokagon State Park to meet up with Linda and Guy to shoot their engagement/family session. The session included the children who will be part of the wedding party at their parent's May wedding. With all of the seriousness of the wedding planning it was fun to get out and play around as we get to know Linda and Guy. We eagerly await their wedding and are thrilled to be a part of it.
