UPDATE: Wedding images are now up here!

UPDATE: Goodness gracious, the album preview is finally up! I hope it was worth the wait, I think so! View it here!

Ok, I’m going to be honest here… 8 o’clock in the morning comes pretty early for me! :0)

That’s what time I arrived at Noblesville’s Purgatory Golf Club for Christi Burns and Josh Southerland’s wedding. I was very pleasantly surprised to see how nice the facilities were (I’d never been there before), so my day was certainly off to a good start. Also, Christi was already all smiles:

Everyone seemed to be in good spirits as a matter of fact. Looking good, bro! LOL

After Christi finished getting ready…

… and a few quick hugs…

… it was time for her and Josh to have a special moment together:

After a very emotional ceremony…

… Josh seemed very pleased!

Honey, I shrunk my Bridesmaids! Ewww, did I really just make the worst joke ever? LOL

Ok, how’s this? Better?

Josh was hating me for this one and I really can’t say I blame him!

Some very nice ones of our couple:

Then it was back inside for their big entrance:

Making it all official…

I had nothing to do with it this time, I swear! :0)

This is a very interesting, if bizarre, little detail we found!

Our couple dances:

And then we all dance!

Check back in later for the album design and wedding images!

Another engagement session! These are such a great way to get to know each couple before the wedding, and I just keep being blessed with such fantastic couples! I have to say I’m a big fan of Brad’s, he was so friendly, relaxed and affectionate with Alissa, it just made my job so easy. What a great looking couple, too!

I had the opportunity to photograph a really fun family portrait a week or so ago. We utilized the diverse settings at Riehle Plaza right here in Lafayette and I’m very pleased with our results!

Andrea and Paul are a great couple that I met at Missy and Nigel’s wedding. One thing led to another and BAM! they’re flying me to Meh-he-ko (that’s Mexico to you, LOL) to photograph their wedding. What fun, I can hardly wait!!!

I wanted to post real quickly about an engagement session I did awhile back. Crystal and Travis are getting married in Illinois next year and I’m honored to be doing the photography. Crystal is finishing up her PhD at Purdue, as I type this she’s literally days away from being DOCTOR Walline! LOL

Our main man Dan Rhine was married a couple of weeks ago to his fiance Julie D’Armound! It was the hottest day on record for October in Indiana, it got over 90 degrees!

Anyway, congratulations to them, and I wanted to post a quick image that my son Aaron (11) took at the reception. Quite the young protege!

UPDATE: Proofs are up here!

UPDATE: The album preview is up! I’m really happy with how it looks, the cover in particular! View it here!

Saturday we ventured up to Decatur, IN to photograph Shelly and Bryan’s wedding. It’s been a little while since I did a “small town” wedding, it was a nice, relaxed atmoshere.

Our couple were both very calm before the storm, LOL:

Shelly strikes me as very low-maintenance, but like any bride she allowed herself to be pampered a little bit!

All smiles!

There are certainly some nice ceremony images…

But often times my favorite images of the day come immediately after the ceremony:

A few nice images of Shelly and Bryan:

Skipping ahead, a nice image of a very popular fellow:

And the first dance:

Uuuuh, OK! LOL

Check back in soon for the album design, more images, more FUN!!!

I actually found time to take some photos of my little boogers at the park last week! They’re really good at pretending they like each other! LOL

I begged Tennessee to wear something other than camouflage, but oh well…

Just a few more, I know, I’m going a little overboard…

Another engagement session from a little ways back… Shelly and Bryan are being married this Saturday, so check back in for more about the wedding!

You may notice the images are being posted a little smaller on the blog. As the number of photos increase (I think I’m up near 1,000 now) it becomes important to make sure they load quickly. You may still click the images to view them at a larger size.
