As I’m sure you all know I LOVE when I get to shoot a wedding in Bloomington and this was no exception. When Carrie first contacted me about her wedding at Four Winds all I could remember was the last time Allie and I shot there (see that blog HERE) and what a crazy day it was. I was looking forward to redeeming ourselves!

We had a gorgeous fall day for their outdoor ceremony and reception. They choose to do a first look (yah!) so that we were able to go to campus and take photos before the ceremony and avoided a huge gap of time in between. With a beautiful blue sky and Lake Monroe as their backdrop it was picturesque to say the least. As always the staff at Four Winds was great and the reception got rocking right away.

I do think we are cursed at this location though ….. as we were packing up our gear all the power went out ….. and I started having deja vu from the last wedding haha. I’m starting to think it’s me!! Luckily (at least from what I hear) the backup generator kicked in shortly and the drinks kept flowing so the crisis was averted!

Congratulations again to Carrie and Ben! Here are some of my favorites from their day!
