Kristin and Derek – 9/19/09: Indianapolis, IN
I was introduced to Kristin through my roommate Lindsey (thanks!) who used to work with her. From the first time I met her I had my fingers crossed that I would get to shoot their wedding. They are an awesome laid back couple and a blast to be around. I shot their engagement pictures downtown at the canal in the spring and I’ve been looking forward to the big day ever since. Kristin and Derek got married on a gorgeous fall day under the trees at Martha’s Orchard. They chose to embrace the spirit of fall by incorporating it into the wedding. From the orange dresses the bridesmaids wore, to the homemade pies instead of traditional cake – everything about their day added to the great autumn feel of the location.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved the site they chose for the wedding. Martha’s Orchard (www.marthasorchard.net) is a family owned business which, to my surprise, no longer produces apples. They instead have a pumpkin patch and make homemade fudge while hosting a variety of events on their property. There were so many gorgeous spots that I could have stayed there forever.. if only I knew how to grow pumpkins or make fudge I probably would have haha..
I did my best to narrow down some of my favorites from the day – enjoy! Congrats to Kristin and Derek!!

Although to some this might be an odd backdrop - this is my favorite image of the day. There is something I love about the contrast of beautiful and new against something old and ugly.
