Well the blog series is nearing an end…. tear. I’m going to end it with my favorite couples shots, but before that we have the most fun part – The Parties!

Wether it’s a hearfelt first dance, a shot of grandma doing the cupid shuffle, a dance off between guests or the flower girl passed out in a chair next to the dance floor (or sometimes the best man haha) the reception and party is a big part of the day and nonstop fun! Of course the other parts are important, but this is the time that the bride and groom have been looking forward to. They are married, hopefully the nerves are gone and they can just cut loose and have fun with all their friends and family.

I come from a family of big time wedding dancers so you better belive I get out on the dance floor at weddings. Half the time people don’t realize I’m still shooting, which makes for the best photos 🙂 I’m ninja like that!

Here are my favorite party photos of the year!

This guy from Emma and Michael’s wedding wins for best dance photo of the year at …. and just wins at life in general for pulling off this sweet dance move in great looking socks.

I love some of the faces in the crowd!

First dance photo from Rachel and Brian’s wedding. Uplighting makes all the difference in the world people!!!

Morgan busting some moves at her October reception.

Leann and Thomas working on the dip at the end of their first dance.

Barb and Ali’s First dance at The Mavris in Indy. I love the dramatic lighting.

John cleaning up the dance floor…. literally … at his reception in September.

Best solo dance performance of the year goes to this guy at Lauren and Jordan’s reception for his spot on Michael Jackson impersonation.

I love this bird’s eye view from Nermin and Jehad’s engagement party!

Elizabeth might kill me for putting this one in here, but I couldn’t resist.

Her face is priceless as she is attacked by a leprachaun hand puppet at her wedding in South Bend….. um Go Irish?!

This lady is my new hero. She barely left the dance floor at Marjorie and Joe’s wedding and has better moves than I ever will 🙁
