Willie & The Fog'

I almost forgot... after Lauren and Nathan's wedding Tara and I went to Noblesville to see Willie Nelson and John Fogerty. We missed half of Willie's set, but being the first time we'd seen him I was still excited. He played with a slightly smaller band than normal, they sounded good but I got the impression that there was a lot of 'going through the motions'.

The Fog', on the other hand, brought the ROCK. Wow, he's got energy for an old dude! Of course everyone was there to hear his CCR stuff but his solo stuff was decent too. I decided that if he were an animal he'd be a dog, and if he were a dog he'd be an Irish Setter... the way he bounded around like a big goof reminded me of Katie, our Irish Setter.

It was fun!

My first and only (how weird) wedding in August, I was thoroughly revitalized after my trip to Oregon and looking forward to some activity. We were at the Indianapolis Omni Severin hotel for Saturday's wedding (BTW, thanks again, Chris) and it was my first time shooting there. How exciting! The Omni's facilities are extraordinary, and I was looking forward to meeting My wedding couple as they were coming in from out of town.

I couldn't ask for more as a photographer: my couple were beyond good-looking, the Omni is beautiful, the families were very hospitable and courteous. Thank you to everyone who put in the effort to make my workday so enjoyable, not to mention for making the day so memorable for Lauren and Nathan!

An album design will follow later this week (hopefully), here are some images until then. I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites!

Lauren had asked for this one, I hope she likes it:


The Omni has great lighting in most every room:


I love the moment right after the ceremony, when the bride and groom are alone together:


More from the Omni:




Nathan gets a little silly:




There'll be lots of limo photos, but here's the first:


... I promised Nathan not too much photoshop, but I felt like this image worked this way:




Check out those toes!






Ok, I promise you'll get to see the actual car, but click on this one 'cause I think it's my favorite!


You know what? Forget the car! LOL





Check back soon!

Laurie & Wayne

So, a return from Oregon equals a return to shooting. Lots of people asked why I didn't take a 'real' camera on vacation, the answer was that with 4,500 images to edit for clients upon getting back home I would've edited my vacation photos in, oh, say sometime in 2009!

My first session was an engagement shoot with Laurie and Wayne. We met up on the IU campus in Bloomington for a quick stroll. Thanks to both of you guys for making the evening 'down south' an enjoyable one! I hope you like your images.

Yes, I'm alive!

Has it really been over two weeks since I posted?!? Time flies... I don't tend to measure anything in minutes, hours or days anymore... they're too short... I have to think in at least terms of weeks. That's scary.

So Oregon was a blast... I didn't realize Chris' bride, Roseann, is a photographer as well (I'm a little slow sometimes) so that made at least four photographers in the wedding party! Along with the wedding activities, I experienced PAINTBALL for the first time... apparently, you want to wear some protective clothing when you engage in this activity. Let me just say that getting shot through a t-shirt with a paintball HURTS... ALOT!!! But it was good fun, more exercise than one might expect, too. Or else I'm just getting... old.
