I was super pumped for this wedding for so long. I first met with Tasha and Joe over a year ago and instantly loved them – such sweet fun loving people. Even better is that I had shot a wedding years before at the church they were getting married at and I couldn’t wait to return.

I can’t say enough about how grateful I am that they allowed me plenty of time for photos with the two of them. They didn’t do a first look since the ceremony was fairly early (gotta love those catholic ceremonies!), but gave me more than enough time afterwards. We headed to downtown Beech Grove and walked around to a few different areas which allowed from some variety and so many shots of them that I loved it was hard to choose just a few for this blog post.

I know i’ve said it a million times, but if you’re a bride to be and you’re reading this please do yourself and your photographer a favor by scheduling in enough time for bride and groom portraits. Regardless of if you see each other beforehand or not. Yes you want the fun wedding party photos and shots of people dancing at the reception, but I gaurentee the most important images are the ones of just the two of you. Too often I see couples so rushed after the ceremony to get the 75 different family photos that they feel they HAVE to do that they miss out on precious time that could be used for creative shots of just the two of them….. ok rant over 🙂

Congrats to Tasha and Joe and thanks for letting me capture your day!

And then it was off to the reception

And then onto some amazing dancing – this place was rocking all night. Including their tradition of the chicken dance hat, fake teeth for the Triller dance and a friend who rapped Baby got back…. amazing

And last but not least me with Tasha and Joe
